If coding is involved, it's more pain than I'm looking for

... literally. Trying to puzzle out how to put together programming languages tends to give me a pretty nasty headache. Just reading it generally isn't that bad but the next step hurts.

Chaos Seed was pretty bloody unique and I don't think I've seen anything quite like it since. Dungeon keeper + secret of mana combat + feng shui, all of it coming out in SNES times. Wild as hell bit of game design.

Ah, second shot. Uh. Good luck! Hopefully it won't put you down for very long.

One step from eden is, uh. Very different from most card based games. Be aware of that?

The heroes of might and magic or age of wonders lines sorta' have that? Or at least can do the single hero founding stuff leading to more stuff thing.

If you want to go way old school you might consider Sword of Aragon, which holds up remarkably well for having released in 1989. Pretty certain there's a few more similar to what you're talking about that I'm forgetting, too, they're just definitely quite rare.

I don't think one side particularly pushes for voter suppression as an actual goal but if you think they are being manipulated to or they do it out of some misled form of racial, social, or cultural discrimination, well, that could be possible, but I respectfully believe that more American citizens today want equality for all more than yesterday.

The last bit is true, but that's because the GOP and american conservatism in general is physically outnumbered in the US; voter suppression and depression is literally what's keeping them as politically relevant as they are. GOP politicians and pundits, and their predecessors, absolutely are pushing for voter suppression as an actual goal, and have been since basically the founding of the bloody country, largely because they realize their odious horseshit of an ideology is unpopular and cannot be realized if everyone has a say. That was true at the time of the 3/5ths, it was true during Jim Crow, it's true now when you have open calls among US conservatives for fascism and the deconstruction of american democracy alongside constant attempts to disenfranchise citizens and make the voting process more difficult.

There is not even the shade of both sides when it comes to voter suppression and a healthy electoral system in the US. The GOP and those before it have been attempting to sabotage our democracy for political gain for decades to centuries, and they're only getting more desperate about it as public sentiment builds further against them and the numbers to enforce that continues to grow.

I don't think the spoiler is actually, like... accurate. At all. Anyway.

I wasn't really sure what the hell would be in it, because, with their general record regarding judgement, the list of entities I'd be comfortable with the cops gunning down in the street is an empty set.

Any set of politicians wouldn't fit in it at the moment, even rancid shits like Greene. Jailed or stripped of political office, sure, but I'd sooner nail my reproductive organs to a wall with a rail spike than trust police judgement on extrajudicial killing at this point.
