I'm waiting for the secret political symbolism behind secret political symbolism.
Well, there were good powerss in the north and South, but the powers in the East and West were considered evil, at least until the Illegal Immigrant (Ya didn't just drop from the sky, lady!) and the House came down on one in the East. (impeached?, Kansas collusion?).
Anyhow, the union members (lollipop guild, etc) and the local politicos were just little people, but with their guidance, on streets paved with gold, the illegal immigrant went to the big city, ostensibly to get passage back home after the coup back East. She met with the power behind the scenes who manipulated the face of government there (all illusion), who recognized she might be useful and sent her on a covert mission to the West.
It took a guy without a brain, one without a heart, and one without courage (along with their illegal immigrant co-conspirator, and at the behest of a phony at that) to upset the established order of things and overthrow the government of the West.
Might be something to it, after all...
