back when the first act of hiveswap came out there wasn’t a whole lot for us to go off of when it came to jude’s conspiracy theories. was it really likely within the homestuck universe that members of the US congress could be involved in cult activity? could this really have anything to do with vampire children, man apes, the jersey devil?

the skaianet systems documentation that’s come out since then kind of recontextualises this. jude’s research goes all the way back to world war ii, which we now know the condesce was at the very least around for. and in calamity the game has another major player that we couldn’t possibly have known about at the time of hiveswap’s release. it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to guess that this cherub who has had her hand in american politics for hundreds of years might have something to do with what jude thinks he sees.
