A strong argument could be made for FDR's government at least making steps toward leftist goals, and Jimmy Carter was a lot more progressive than a typical liberal.

The system isn't broken; it's working exactly as intended.
I think you're mistaking "conservatives and centrists" for "American government"
I don't know; my wrestling coach used to say "you're never useless; you can always bad a bad example." So, personally I think putting his charred corpse on display could serve as an effective deterrent on oligarchs that are considering meddling in politics, especially if Musk was loaded into the doomed capsule against his will by a coalition of the proletariat.

His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.
Fria Liga (aka Free League) has lots of niche tabletop games, although iirc, they focus much more on the RPG side than the wargaming side.
There's lots of good stuff in the UK that I've found by browsing Kickstarter and small independent game shops online. I don't what you're into specifically, but there are lots of grimdark Mörk Borg inspired stuff out there right now that use system-agnostic minis for wargaming. Forbidden Psalm is one I've been pretty into for a bit, and I think they're out of the UK.
Disclaimer: I have no idea what the gaming scene is like for a lot of these; I just have a bad habit of collecting indie games I'll likely never play
He pardoned the conscientious objectors and draft dodgers, gave the Panama Canal back to Panama, founded the Super Fund to prosecute polluters and clean up spills, lifted the military ban on LGBTQ people serving, etc. Sure, he made some mistakes, particularly as it applies to deregulating numerous industries, but in general, he was reasonably close to progressive in numerous ways.
