Eulogy for the Stripes. America, 2049. The Republic is coming apart. A constitutional dystopian thriller by Michael McGehee.

I have over 15,000 connections on X and am grateful for them.

I was inspired to write this because of someone named Steve.

Time is expensive. Attention even more so. If you’re going to follow an author, you should have a clear reason to believe the content will be worthwhile. I hope I continue to earn your subscription.

I’m a conservative author, and in today’s publishing landscape, that’s rarer than it should be. I’m faith-forward and patriotic. Not for performance, but because I believe America is worth defending, and that duty still matters when it stops being convenient.

What makes my work different is the lens in which i write.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked inside complex systems where failure has consequences and good intentions do not change outcomes. I’ve led high-pressure delivery, governance, and global digital transformation across numerous environments, supporting programs across 140+ countries for 100+ clients. In that world, you learn something simple: most breakdowns don’t arrive with sirens. They arrive gradually or by a detail overlooked. Small exceptions become routine. Temporary measures become permanent. Accountability moves farther from the decision, and the bill gets pushed forward until it lands on families who never agreed to carry it.

That operator’s posture is now in my writing.

I built a constitutional dystopian thriller set in Texas, but I’m not writing collapse as fantasy. I’m writing the quiet stretch before the fracture, when life still looks normal, and people are still deciding what they will tolerate, what they will protect, and what they refuse to outsource. Faith is my compass, but I write for anyone who recognizes the same gravity, whether they call it faith, conscience, or duty.

If you follow along, expect restraint and clarity. No rage bait. No cheap villains. No manufactured urgency. Just a steady signal, grounded in real-world systems and the moral pressure points that shape ordinary lives.

If that sounds like your kind of content, please repost, like, comment, and connect with me.

Thank you.
