Last night, I was reading about the web-based game where one can slap Hillary Clinton and it occurred to me that there's a hell of a lot of material one could use to make anti-Republican games. A simple idea would be to have a game where you shoot wine bottles to make Boehner cry.
But how about this? The main character would be a tea-bagger on the street of a major American city. The main goals would be to get people to vote against their own best interests, like by getting support for cuttinging or eliminating taxes for large corporations or the wealthy. Actions the t-bagger could take would be finding stages and preaching about the evils of taxes or linking them to oppression. Finding fancy cars of politicians around town could help too, and locating the secret bullhorn would add weight to speeches/rantings.
Bonus points could come from a variety of activities. From simply kicking homeless people, getting them in trouble with the cops, to shouting down democratic protests. Or even simple things like changing radios to Rush Limbaugh, or convincing businesses to turn the TV to fox noise. Maybe, if enough TVs were changed, it would have an overall effect on the city to be more receptive to Republican policies - which could be obviously not in the public's best interest.
You know, somebody could have a lot of fun with this.

Carrying baseball bats, smashing innocent people in the head. Shooting "Libtards" at a rally. And get that nut chief of police from PA to endorse it along with Ted Shit My Pants Nugent. Video games come to life. Finally! USA! USA! USA!
And charge $69.99 for it.

I can do this all night. Find a secret cache of purple heart band-aids and hand them out. Extra points if you do it at a war rally. Screaming Benghazi at a town-hall meeting. Convincing a local baker to make Ronald Reagan Vanilla Wafers, 100 points. Getting them handed out in church for an extra bonus.
There's so much material that filtering enough out to make an actual game would be the hard part.
