🎲✂️ If different animals were politicians in Congress, what kinds of abilities would they have? E.g. Pigs would add pork to a bill Monkeys might be swing voters Sloths would filibuster Just looking for some inspiration. Thanks!

Hawks would start wars/advocate for military expenses. Doves would do the opposite. Bears might hibernate, missing votes. Bees would vote as a collective. Lions/Geese might intimidate other politicians.

Would be cool if they had a strong bonus that just fell off drastically but couldn’t get rid of them easily.

I think dinosaurs would vote for green technologies. They probably are not in favor of fossil fuels.

Ducks would try to install quacks into key positions. Ants would try to keep everyone in line. Centipedes would always be trying to get a leg up on their rivals. Sheep would bleet loudly about causes but always follow. Wolves would pretend to be sheep but extort them. Geese would be anarchists.
