*Resigned to challenge incumbent Scott Maddox in primary after allegations of improper behavior
 
*ETERNAL SCREAMS FROM BEYOND THE OBLIVON*

  • In early 1972 John Mitchell dies in a car crash or some shit, and his replacement in CREEP is either G. Gordon Liddy or is a lot more open to Liddy's ideas
  • As such, the Nixon campaign actually does go ahead with operation Gemstone, kidnapping multiple far left leaders, which obviously causes massive amounts of suspicion, suspicion that is multiplied when one of them (figure one out) ends up mysteriously dying
  • Meanwhile, McGovern never chooses Eagleton and convinces Ribcoff to be his running mate, which probably infuriates Daley, but also ends in a much better result for McGovern as no Eagleton controversy and the beginnings of the unravelling of the Nixon administration help him. He still gets fucked but probably adds NY, SD, CT, RI, and MN to his OTL total.
  • Nixon, who is much more paranoid about being found out OTL goes ahead with his plan to kill Jack Anderson, which doesn't get tied back to Nixon until after his inauguration.
  • The discovery of two murders pushed by the President of the United States early in 1973 (say around March) obviously does not end well, and Nixon chooses the easy way out, and pulls a Bud Dwyer, scarring millions of Americans in the process.
  • Spiro Agnew stays in office despite his corruption allegations just long enough to appoint Winfield Dunn, a moderate Tennessee Governor known for pushing for unity, as his Vice President, but ends up being impeached in early 1974.
  • Dunn doesn't really do much as president, but probably ends up pushing for major reform in the intelligence community as the Church and Pike Committees are definitely around ITTL and are definitely much more openly critical about intelligence-media connections in the years leading up to the late 70s.
  • The Republicans suffer 1934-style defeats in 1974, with Democrats probably winning every senate seat in the class except for Maryland and Arizona.
  • Dunn doesn't really do much but he does choose Henry Bellmon as his VP after Bellmon loses in 1974, and attempts to stabilize the nation.
  • These attempts at stabilization don't really work, especially as the economy tanks and everything goes to shit following multiple Manson family related attacks, including one that kills Jerry Brown.
  • In 1976, neither Dunn or Bellmon want to actually run for re-election, and high profile Republicans like Reagan don't even want the nomination, with Reagan pushing for the Republicans to "rebrand", and as such, a lower profile Republican, Robert D. Ray, ends up taking the nomination, but fails to really revive the Republicans.
  • On the other side, a Democratic Party that is expected to win easily sees a massive group of candidates enter the primary, however, the Democrats end up shockingly nominating Mike Gravel, who is able to gain support as a liberal advocate for more open government, and hos French-Canadianism helps him win in New Hampshire.
  • Richard Viguerie keeps his promise with the AIP and ends up getting a nationally known conservative on the ticket, Roger Zion, a representative from Indiana known for his conservative views. Zion does okay and gets around 5% but not much else.
  • Mike Gravel and his running mate, Reuben Askew, demolish the Republicans and AIP, even winning multiple Southern and interior western states as Democrats take the nation pretty easily.
  • By this point Democrats have New Deal-style majorities in the senate, and Gravel can pretty much do whatever he wants, which, as you can imagine, ends incredibly well.
  • UBI and Universal Healthcare are passed, and the CIA and Taft-Hartley are dead in the street.
  • However, Gravel is much cozier with oil than Carter was, which means no nationalization or much regulation, but he also pushes for alternative energy, which is a very strange mix.
  • Yes, nuclear power is severely pushed back.
  • Military spending is rolled back heavily, but Gravel isn't perfect on foreign policy and still sells arms to Saudi Arabia because he's an Islamist at heart.
  • Gravel and the Democrats do better in '78, but retirements/deaths in the South and Gravel's noted non-Southerness cause losses in AR, MS, one of the AL elections, and WV.
  • The Middle East goes fucking kablooey as Saddam dies or some shit and Iraq and Syria merge once again while Iran and Saudi Arabia fall into chaos.
  • Gravel is much less focused on Iran than Carter and as such revolutionaries target the Soviet embassy instead of the US embassy (more in the Soviet section).
  • The Saudis still fuck up various revolutionaries, with help from Gravel, but an extended conflict still causes some amount of an energy crisis.
  • Gravel keeps price controls on oil, and as such some of the harsher effects of the oil crisis/inflation are avoided.
  • Inflation is still horrible and Fed Chairwoman Nancy Teeters isn't as harsh on it as Volcker, which is pretty cool in the long run probably.
  • Some little incident happens in Youngstown, and Gravel ends up actually helping the co-op because he has immense amounts of political capital in the midterms and because he's super cool, as such Gar Alperovitz, despite his off putting personality, becomes famous for his efforts and Commonwealth ideology, which grows in popularity among the far left of the US.
  • Some amounts of drug decriminalization occur, weed is probably legalized nationwide and there's major psychedelics measures on the state/county/city level.
  • Speaking of left-wing movements getting co-oped, there's no Moonbeam to hang around Tom Hayden, Jesse Jackson, and now Gar Alperovitz, but it's a-okay, because Charles O. Porter, the governor of Oregon, known for massive amounts of drug legalization, who has beef over some of Gravel's foreign decisions decides to jump in and gains radical leftie support, but that fizzles out because most lefties like Gravel.
  • On the other hand, with no Kennedy/Moonbeam, LaRouche's first attempt at serious campaigning actually gets solid attention in New Hampshire, where he pulls 8% of the vote, and as such, Americans get turned on to LaRouchism on a much more mainstream level.
  • In the Republican primary, South Carolina governor William Westmoreland, who recovered from losing in 1974 to WJB-D, is the clear frontrunner, as Ronald Reagan has cancer or some shit and the moderates infight between Charles Percy, Lowell Weicker, and Pete DuPont.
  • Westmoreland chooses Donald Rumsfeld as his running mate after Percy recommends him, which absolutely ends horribly due to Rumsfeld's inability to have a personality, extreme hawkishness, and connections to Nixon.
  • Westmoreland/Rumsfeld turns out to be a failure of a ticket, as they have connections to incredibly unpopular events and talk a bunch of shit about bombing the Soviets in Iran, which is very unpopular post-Vietnam.
  • Gravel wins comfortably, but loses much of the south and Southwest. The map is probably a better 1964 for Republicans.
  • Even with a comfortable win, Republicans gain seats in the senate simply due to how easy the map is to win on.
  • Gravel's victory is definitely a poisoned chalice, as sex scandals that have been kept under wraps finally come out, and even though most people don't care because the president killing himself was recent memory, it gets a bunch of conservatives angry as fuck.
  • Also stagflation still happens, and the ungodly Syria-Iraq united state goes to war in Israel over the Golan Heights, leading to another oil crisis, especially as the Iranians continue to fight the Soviets.
  • Inflation and another energy crisis cause hell, especially when Gravel gets pushed into ending price controls, causing prices to skyrocket as in OTL.
  • Flint, Michigan definitely has a Youngstown-type moment when Detroit's Big Three gets fucked.
  • Republicans do fantastic in 1982, and while they probably don't take the senate, they do take the House and make Gravel's last two years hell.
  • In weird ideologies news, Jerry Rubin starts his own news network because he's mega rich off of weed and Apple while Lyndon LaRouche (who's net worth was in the millions upon his death) starts 1980s InfoWars.
  • Yes, some version of Fox News gets started too but that's boring.
  • Hilariously, because CNN is still an idea, none of these channels are 24-hour news, which means we get some fantastic stoner comedies from RubinTV and like, a three hour segment on classical music from LaRoucheTV.
  • The LaRouche movement becomes much more mainstream and John DeCamp and Eugene McCarthy definitely latch on.
  • 1984 is a much more open election, with many Democrats not wanting to nominate a more moderate Southerner after 8 years of Mike Gravel, and William J. Brown, a midwestern progressive and surprisingly pro-Youngstown governor of Ohio, takes up much of the progressive vote.
  • Some non-LaRouche LaRouchite (Mike Billington probably) runs and gets like, 5% of the primary vote somehow.
  • Brown and Askew have a 2016-style primary fight that goes to the end, but Askew pulls out a narrow victory, angering many progressives and consumer advocates.
  • A left wing third party movement fails to attract either Brown or Gar Alperovitz, but they do nominate Harlan Baker, a representative from Maine, who calls for state banks and a bigger co-op movement.
  • On the Republican side, no clear frontrunner emerges, but Harrison Schmitt, a popular New Mexican senator and ex-astronaut gets nominated as a strong conservative western candidate, and chooses New York governor Paul Curran, who is known for his anti-corruption efforts, as his running mate.
  • The conservative ticket angers some liberals and moderates in the party, and Pete DuPont, wanting to promote his weird fucking ideas, decides to pull an Anderson, and picks Paul Finley as his running mate.
  • Even with the DuPont ticket running, Schmitt has a tight lead over Schmitt for much of the race, mostly due to economic anger at the Gravel administration and the Harlan Baker campaign.
  • The 1984 campaign sees a return to presidential debates, and famously has a three-way debate between Askew, Schmitt, and DuPont, which ends in DuPont yelling about farm subsidies for like 30 minutes and an attempt from Harlan Baker to crash the debate.
  • Schmitt still wins relatively easily, but he has small coattails, and doesn't seem prepared to do much as president.
  • Without a large congressional majority, Schmitt has to do most of his actions through EOs and economic policies
  • As you can imagine, Schmitt's federal reserve attempts to do Volcker-on-steroids as gas and oil prices are very high and ends up fucking over a large part of the economy, causing similar protests to OTL.
  • Paul Simon becomes famous for pushing the "Strong Dollar" in the Schmitt administration, as he is able to get a position there after failing to be elected to the house in the 1970s.
  • Volcker also goes after the unions and co-ops, which is very popular in some areas but leads to angry responses in the midwest, particularly Flint and Youngstown, where large protests occur.
  • While Schmitt is unpopular, the 1986 map is so blue that Democrats actually see losses in the senate, but they regain the House.
  • Schmitt attempts to defund the Youngstown and Flint co-ops due to the larger Republican senate majority and expected support from conservative Democrats, leading to a government shutdown in early 1987.
  • Schmitt does, however, heavily cut welfare, which is more popular than expected due to Gravel's UBI.
  • The War on Drugs is heavily muted with Schmitt as President due to many of the Gravel liberalizations, however, there is attempts to fight crack and heroin, which is much more popular among White liberals because of course it is.
  • Schmitt does bang out a free trade agreement with Canada similar to OTL, with John Crosbie being elected PM in Canada.
  • As you can imagine, higher interest rates, anti union politics, and free trade heavily anger the economic left of the United States, who manage to nominate William J. Brown this time around with most Democrats supporting him as the strongest candidate.
  • Industrialist Jack Davis gets to be a Perot analogue, albeit a more conservative and libertarian leaning one, and he chooses Paul Simon to promote "bipartisan job-saving". Davis's campaign calls for lower taxes (claiming the Schmitt administration did not do enough on that front), a stronger dollar, and a much stronger America.
  • This is just libertarian trump.
  • Speaking of which, former Nebraska Governor John DeCamp jumps on the LaRouche train, becoming the official LaRouche backed candidate, which, as LaRouchism is becoming increasingly mainstream, allows him to gain a mainstream following and poll surprisingly high as he runs as an independent. DeCamp uses the Nader/Perot strategy of having write-in candidacies support him in the Democratic and Republican primaries, and gains more attention from it, even "winning" an uncontested Republican primary in Nebraska as a write-in.
  • The LaRouche movement and DeCamp campaign definitely use intimidation tactics and become increasingly violent despite maintaining popularity.
  • Schmitt is unpopular but holds his own against Brown, especially when the oil crisis ends in mid-1988, and the election goes to the house due to Democrats underperforming in the Northeast.
  • Davis wins Alaska and New Hampshire.
  • Violence begins to occur from multiple LaRouchist groups after the election, leading to calls for LaRoucheTV to be shut down, but, it is not because dudes are simply vibing too hard.
  • The narrowly-Republican senate votes to keep Paul Curran as VP, but the house fails to choose between Brown and Schmitt.
  • Curran attempts to portray himself as a nonpartisan figure, but fails to be seen as legitimate by many.
  • In 1989, a similar incident to the Rodney King assault occurs in New York City, causing riots and unrest across the city.
  • In unprecedented fashion, a "special presidential election" is proposed for 1991 via constitutional amendment, it is passed quite easily, but it causes only a minor time period for campaigning, and allows Curran to fully become president.
  • Similarly, an amendment supporting the end of the electoral college and it's replacement with a two-round system is able to pass with support from Curran despite opposition from many Southern states, but it passes too late and only applies for the 1992 election.
  • Syria-Iraq's federation falls apart horribly, causing a war that the United States intervenes in on the side of the Kurds.
  • Turkey is not happy and something probably happens there I don't know.
  • Curran picks former JCS chairman Glenn Morrell as his VP for B I P A R T I S A N R E A S O N S
  • Democrats and Republicans nominate Brown and Schmitt again, but both choose different running mates, with Brown choosing Jim Folsom Jr. and Schmitt choosing Fred Hemmings.
  • Yes, Davis runs again, but with Bill Brock as his running mate.
  • The LaRouchite ticket stays the same.
  • While Curran is still mildly popular, Schmitt isn't, as many now blame him for the stalling of the government since 1987 (the government shutdown), and he suffers a harsh loss, especially as Davis's popularity is now confined to libertarians.
  • Davis wins Montana.
  • Brown's win is basically pointless, and he ends up spending most of his presidency campaigning for re-election.
  • Winfield Dunn, one of the last popular Republicans left due to his post presidency moves for bipartisanship, gets pushed to run again, and ends up accepting the Republican nomination.
  • Davis is mega broke after his two campaigns, and his attempts to form a party fizzle out, so he instead, shockingly, endorses the increasingly insane Freedom Party, which is just the LaRouche movement.
  • With the electoral college gone, multiple new candidates enter the race, including famous radio activist Jerry Williams, Ron Paul, Meir Kahane, and many others, especially as ballot access is now entirely national.
  • Of these candidates, an "upper tier" is created. Generals George Lee Butler and John K. Singlaub run as two very different military candidates, with Singlaub running with support from the Freedom Party and Butler from various left wing movements. Dunn and Brown obviously make up another tier, as does Steve Forbes, running on a flat tax plan.
  • The craziest possible outcome happens, with a Butler vs Singlaub second round, however, Butler fails to truly gain any support from Democrats despite people fearing Singlaub and the LaRouche movement, and many worry that he's too left wing. While this is happening, Singlaub's campaign straight up openly does voter intimidation and ends up winning due to support from both hardcore conservatives and LaRouchists. This is largely due to Singlaub running up vote totals in the South and interior west.
  • As you may expect, the Singlaub administration does not go well, with a massive rise in tensions between the US and UK, show trials of political opponents, economic disaster, and political violence occur all the goddamn time.
  • This leads to a coup lead by Oliver North, who gets appointed by Singlaub to lead the JCS but ends up turning on him for power.
  • North's coup is nearly forced out by public revolt until he promises a constitutional convention, which occurs in 1996 after proper election of delegates.
  • The United States draws to a close.
  • Mike Gabbard gets to be the last VP of the United States for vibes.

graham i gotta stop dming you my best ideas :mad:
 
Had an insane idea where France and the US's two biggest anti-""""""""""""""Israel Lobby"""""""""""""""""" advocates got elected and the Cold War ends but after it comes a bunch of incredibly stupid neocolonial wars between a Franco-American-Libyan alliance and a Sino-Anglo-Israeli alliance.

Other Shit That Happens:
  • The Brits, who OTL were nervous about the idea of a united Germany begin to support Bevarian secessionist parties.
  • Canada and France have beef with Barre pulling a De Gaulle.
  • Brazil becomes an anti-imperialist leader with Quadros returning to power in 1989.
  • Simultaneously Brazil gets a UN security council seat.
  • Russia/The UIS/Whatever and Brazil are nonaligned powers.
  • The Gulf War never happens ITTL and Iraq and the US are better pals.
  • Biafran secessionism returns in full form.
  • American liberals continue to be pro-United Ireland, especially behind speaker Mario Biaggi's advocacy.

Some wholesome OTL quotes/polls:

"They will tell you that a good and faithful Muslim can also be a good and faithful American. Sorry, but I don’t see how"
-John Andrews

"[Islam is a] totalitarian political and economic system, not subject to reformation, set forth in a holy book not subject to revision..."
-John Andrews

"If someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn’t say that was freedom of speech, we put him in a camp, they were prisoners of war.”
-Wesley Clark

“If these people are radicalized and they don’t support the United States and they are disloyal to the United States as a matter of principle, fine. It’s their right and it’s our right and obligation to segregate them from the normal community for the duration of the conflict.”
-Wesley Clark

"A poll conducted shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, echoes this line of argument when it found that about one-third of Americans thought it was acceptable to detain Arab Americans in camps reminiscent of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.[37] A 2004 poll by Pew Research Center found that almost half of Americans were willing to exchange certain civil liberties for the cause of national security.[38]"
-Wikipedia

Nice to see some French politics, even if it is quite awful.

Might be worth highlighting who got into the second round, that tend to matter a lot in French elections.
