#Jake Featherston if people are unaware is the Dixie Hitler in Timeline-191

Also for Season 11:

President Nehemiah Scudder Malloy is not an expy of Donald Trump, he's an expy of Jake Featherston with Joanna Wise as his Ferdinand Koenig.....and with the reality that his taking over in the wake of the Twilight War and the reforging of magic adds yet another bit of chaos to everything Adam did. Adam set the world on fire, Joanna Wise, Malloy, and Pandora essentially start a second American Civil War .

The Pandora Project equally replays a lot of similar notes to the Initiative much like canon but is essentially a somewhat smarter and much more dangerous successor that completely does what the Initiative did so partially and is intentionally modeled on my OC very similar organization, the Architects of Fear.

The Initiative's goals were cruder and reliant on various assumptions reflecting older Cold War-style logic, the Pandora Project is a much more 21st Century vision and Nehemiah Scudder Malloy (since Buffy doesn't give people entire names I'm having a bit of fun with this) in turn is a Harry Turtledove reference down to calling his Administration the Freedom Party and using the inverse Confederate Battle Flag symbolism.

This is also one of the longer-term effects of both the death and reforging of magic and everything unleashed in the Twilight War, which is what makes N.S. Malloy's bid for absolute power viable in the first place. The Fimbulwinter and the explosive revelations that the government knew about the things in the darkness and made them worse enables the demagogic Missouri Senator to do a Santa Anna and all else follows.
