I agree. It's really the last scene that made me think that. Seeing Deep Throat Rick dead in space was the tell. It doesn't really affect your theory, it just adds some elements that need more digging.Definitely possible, but that seems pretty risky. I fired up the show because I thought he was already President at that point, but he wasn't. He was kissing babies.
While rewatching this portion, I noticed something significant. Remember after Cop Morty killed the Loco Mortys, and Cop Rick asks him what happens? "Same old story...Mortys killing Mortys." Then, after Cop Rick kills Cop Morty, and the rest of the police show up asking what happens, he says, "Same old story...Ricks killing Mortys."
At first the only subtext I read into that was racial. "Mortys killing Mortys" referenced black-on-black crime while "Ricks killing Mortys" referenced police-on-black crime. Then I realized it's also a double entendre adumbrating my Evil Morty theory above; that somehow the divisions between Rick & Morty (when they are divided) trace to Rick costing Morty lives.
I can't wait to see the next episode. I've heard it was supposed to be something like The Rick-turian Candidate, which would most likely be a follow-up on this one but the Internet says next episode will be Morty's Mind Blower. I don't want to go on Reddit and start exploring conspiracy theories, I'd rather just have fun on the moment and not rationalize too much.
No matter, I'll be watching for sure!
