What is Liberal Crime Squad? (Modified version of Johnathan S. Fox's description below)
Liberal Crime Squad is a satirical open-source text-based modern strategic political RPG with bad pickup lines and bad graphics. You play as the founder of a left-wing terrorist cell devoted to saving the United States from its descent into Conservative Insanity though writing to newspapers, volunteering, playing protest music, seduction, flag burning, graffiti, hacking, kidnapping, torture, murder, brainwashing, and other common and uncommon activist activities. You and your Liberal squadmates win when the laws of the US are made to "Elite Liberal".
Your rivals, the Conservative Crime Squad, are right-wing M16-toting Rednecks. If the Conservative Agenda is fully fulfilled, an Arch-Conservative Amendment repealing the Constitution and making the United States into the Confederate States (where instead of a president, Ronald Reagan is King for all time, Congress is made up of CEOs and televangelists, and anyone may write a petition to Jesus for a redress of grievances, because no one else will be listening), will be passed, ending the game due to the abject failure of the Liberal Agenda.
The Stalinist Comrade Squad is a third, unfortunately unimplemented faction in Liberal Crime Squad. They are supposed to be "final bosses" that appear when the Liberal Revolution is almost complete and seize control of it. Failure to stop the Stalinists will result in a game over where you are deported to a gulag in newly annexed Canada.
There are four versions of Liberal Crime Squad worth looking at:Version 4.07.0 is the most stable release.
Version 4.07.4 is a beta release that adds the ability to play across multiple cities, visit the White House, and assassinate the President if you so wish.
LCS R855 is an "Unofficial" release by scrdest. It adds gameplay tweaks, music, and graphical enhancements such as more colors(Damaged clothes are colored yellow, bloody clothes are highlighted, seduction lines have a wider range of colors, etc) and enhanced ASCII Art for some of the newspaper stories. It also has an unfinished version of the Stalinist Comrade Squad. This is the version of LCS I personally recommend.
The Nightly Version of LCS is the most up to date, but it requires you to compile it yourself. Contains the "augmentations" feature, gameplay tweaks, and bug fixes.

Other things about LCS-
Theres a wiki for all information about LCS. There is also a
Tv Tropes Page.
-If Free Speech Laws go Arch-Conservative, all swearing is replaced with Conservative Politically Correct substitutes.
-Earlier versions of LCS let you seduce dogs, genetic abominations, and tanks. This bug was soon patched.
-Theres a "Nightmare Mode" difficulty where the US is a hellish dystopia where Death Squad officers patrol the streets executing all criminals on the spot, Firefighters are Firemen that suppress free speech with flamethrowers, the CIA is the Ministry of Love, Prisons are Reeducation Facilities and forced labor camps...
-If the Death Penalty goes Arch-Conservative, Liberals are executed with cruel and unusual punishments.
-Liberal Crime Squad is based off of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
-There is a lot more to LCS than meets the eye at first glance. You just have to find it. Or look it up on the wiki.
This should do for the OP. I'll probably add more to it later.
