I'm not sorry.

What happens here in the last election, to bring back the democratic party? Otherwise pretty excellent list!

That's the joke.
Basically there's a running joke on the other place that a poster who shall not be named finished every list with Obama being elected in 2008, no matter how much it had diverged before that. I wanted to do a reference to that, and because I will always put way more effort into things for the sake of a joke than warranted, I ended up doing a scenario which changed the US political landscape beyond recognition as much as possible to emphasise the silliness of it.

Eggs on my face and all that :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't mind hearing more about that scenario, it looks pretty interesting.

POD: A meteor doesn't hit Earth and dinosaurs survive to the present day. The list ends with Barack Obamasaurus becoming President of the United Saurians of America.
 
Car, Where's My Dude? Are you a Bad enough Duke to rescue the President?
Exactly. In the latter case I even had to completely throw out a whole section of continuity because I accidentally wrote two different multi-post lead-ups to that joke and duplicated a character bio.

Nah, never your fault if you don't know an obscure running gag!

I kept it deliberately vague, but it's playing on ideas others have previously posted about the Republican/Progressive split coupled to the OTL Republican dominance of the 1920s reducing the Democrats to virtually a southern-interests party only, and then a Huey Long Depression dictatorship discredits even that while empowering the Socialists as a third force. (I was thinking of how the Communists in France benefited from being seen to be a major force of opposition to Vichy/the Occupation). Then the scandal in the 1970s happens because, after one Socialist victory, it turns out the Republicans and Progressives had been conspiring to force every election to the House and vote for each others' candidate in turn (hence the Turno Pacifico comparison to 19th century Spain) in order to deny the Socialists another victory. This predictably ruins both of the right-wing parties and leads to a period of Socialist dominance. (I went for a bit of irony where Nixon is the idealistic outsider who almost manages to keep his party viable in the wake of a 1970s scandal that robs the public of confidence in politicians...) The other bit of irony, inspired by real events in places like Maine and Australia, is that as soon as they implement a French two-round system, the country turns into a two-party setup so it never actually needs the second round anyway. As of the end of the century, the US has an economic consensus that lies to the left of OTL's, in part because the former Progressive strand of thought has tended to dominate over the Republican one in the New Conservative party, and the Socialists are a credible party of government. However, the states are also more powerful relative to the federal government due to lingering suspicion after the Long dictatorship's centralisation of power.

That sounds pretty cool. There's no socialist/communist split to create trouble for them? How much are the socialists able to do in government and do they end up drifting to the center like socialist parties who did in Europe? I could see them doing so less quickly with no communist to their left.

I'm always fond of interesting alternative approaches for the left. The US had a lot of potential for that which was lost around the 2&3 internationale split and the various wartime repressions.

One of the things I was keeping vague is exactly what happened with WW1 and the Russian Revolution, which somewhat gives one a get-out-of-jail-free card to handwave things like the socialist/communist split. I was thinking they become a bit more establishmentarian in power but the bigger effect is being hamstrung by the federal government being weakened in reaction to the Long dictatorship. (I guess this was slightly inspired by @Meadow 's description in The People's Flag of how the ability of revolutionary leftism to change a state was inherently weakened by it usually being combined with a desire for decentralisation).

I wonder, though... Could you get some solidly socialist state governments and exploit how much power they have in the US system (doubly so here) to do quite a bit? OTL they never reached that critical mass, but a lot of socialist support was geographically concentrated.

On the other hand, US state borders tend to be monstrosities with a bunch of rural lands tacked onto cities and balancing them so that could make for some interesting internal opposition.

1947, the year the Saucers came and attacked.

Chaos ensued as all the capital cities were consumed by alien death rays. The saucers would be defeated not long after, once the surprise wore off they would be defeated using a mixture of nuclear weapons in America and conventional artillery elsewhere. In the aftermath it’s about rebuilding yet again.

The folksy Progressive charm and Anti-Alien rhetoric allows Glen H.Taylor to dominate the 50s, the National Unity coalition becomes the party of choice for Britain with it’s Third Way, Reformist, Technocratic and Corporatist charm against the Libertarian Christian Socialism of the Peace Democrats and the Bevanite Democratic Socialism of Socialist Labour during the 50s. The Soviet Union deals with the death of Stalin and his chosen successor Zhdanov as Malenkov, Kosygin and Zukhov spend the 50s bickering between each other and in America and Britain the rise in Protectionist, Social Credit influenced and determined to take the fight to the Aliens in the SPACE! and PROTECT parties.

Now it’s twenty years since the random saucer attack. Britain has slid into the Non-Aligned Pact under Frank Allaun and the Democratic Labour Party with the plan to send a Non-Aligned Alliance into Space to fight the aliens, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr is planning to bring America into a Space age with there own vessels and the Soviet Union had plans for a fleet for nuclear power shuttles to take the moon and Mars. All whilst cool gaze of the alien’s looks upon of Earth and plans for a second go around.

Simple idea this; reversing the polarity on Europe between Labour and Conservatives. It is basically an analogue list in many respects, I deliberately aimed for Labour and Conservatives to alternate power in a many similar though not identical to OTL.

Unseen in this list, due to its lack of parliamentary presence, is No2EU - the locus of Eurosceptic feeling in Britain following the implosion of the far-right in the 1980s. The party's surge in the late '00s led inexorably to the 2018 referendum. Since then the party has sank into the doldrums, under succeeding increasingly irrelevant leaders. A second life of sorts exists in Douglas Carswell's GO! Coalition, which has been credited with laundering once firm Tory voters in the Shires into Labour voters in 2021.
