The movie "V for Vendetta" -- based on the graphic novel -- ended up doing something similar. Ostensibly, "V" is the story of a future Britain: right-wing Christians have taken over. Their oppressive tyranny has made dissent illegal, they have rigid control over all aspects of society, everyone fears the police, and people with incorrect sexual leanings are hated and feared.
It's just kinda funny how much the right-wing Christian dictatorship looks so much like what the Progressives have given us.
