Least favorite alt-history story?

A real Gary Hart masterpiece, that one.

It's by a Norwegian fan artist on the Castalia House payroll, such as it was at the time.

Now they're publishing leatherbound volumes of public domain books they rip off Project Gutenberg. Fools and their money, etc.

The point is, Lind didn't decide that. The publisher and chief editor of Castalia House did. Guess who?
 
Surely an explanation on why it's bad would be welcome

(For the record, I've seen it, but have not read it in depth)
My apologies for the cringe post
-The Supergirl stuff is really gross
- Trump becomes a Satanist and a *Insert the Alt-Socialism from Kaiserreich here *
- The wikiboxes are awfully made
- Writing is very uh bad
-The timeline is bad
- People start calling Trump "Comrade Donnie"
- David Duke gets 12% of the vote
- David Duke talks about how the holocaust was a work of art and uses hard slurs(uncensored ones at that) in The debates
- Millions of Americans are Maoist
-Real actual far right murders are used as Trump assassins
-Mitch McConnell is always described as "Moscow Mitch"
-"Moscow Mitch" hires an assassin to kill the President
-The Writer is a ass and a poopie head
I know this is the big kid Alternate History website but I don't think I need to write a few paragraphs on why the Trump SI is bad

I literally bought an alternate history book because I knew I would hate it, Franz Ferdinand Lives! By Richard Ned Lebow. I bought it because I flicked to a page that said ‘and then Winston Churchill joins Labour because Protectionism’ and I was like ‘Hahaha, oh that’s fucking awful’. I hope I don’t have to explain why Churchill joining the Labour Party would be incredibly unlikely.

I will read the book with all the spite I can muster.

To be fair, Syndicalism was a legitimate ideology/economic theory and it isn't just alt-socialism. The only reason it's more prominent than socialism in Kaiserreich is cause of the failures of the Russian Revolution iirc.

I'm not gonna lie, even with how implausible it is for Duke to get enough votes to be involved in the debates, this does seem very on-brand for him.
 
On an unrelated note, one timeline that I sort of like in theory but also actually enjoyed reading a bit of was Losing the Peace. The only issue I had with it was because I was reading it years after the fact, some of the more plot-important chapters were seemingly deleted by the writer, which made it hard to read for obvious reasons.
