yeah it's fascinating that Card foresaw this kind of social influencing while being a very odd (religious conservative and game developer fiction writer) mix, but then he went wacko: Card described an alternative future in which President Barack Obama ruled as a "Hitler- or Stalin-style dictator" with his own national police force of young unemployed men; Obama and his wife Michelle would have amended the U.S. Constitution to allow presidents to remain in power for life, as in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Nazi Germany.
