*Assasination

In 1929 the Great Depression occured, causing millions and millions of people to lose their homes. Many had lost all hope, having no one to turn to. As a result many turned against each other, they blamed their fellow man for the hell that wrought them. Which is why in 1933 Oklahoma Governor William Murray beat the liberal Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the Democratic nomination for president. One of Murray's first acts as president was to further and further segregate the federal government, a process begun under President Woodrow Wilson arguing that it was the "negro effect" that had caused the Great Depression. As the Depression worsens he raises racial fears among the white majority against the minorities, arguing that it should be on the white man's terms that they should live in this land. Thus began the death of freedom and sanity in America. As the years went by more and more tyrannical laws were passed by Congress limiting freedom of expression and the right to vote. The Democratic Party had become the party of super racist bigot segregationists and the Republican Party had become the party of super power hungry corporate militarists obsessed with the idea of American Empire. Not a freedom lover was to be found among the two party oligarchy of America. But the people were not blind to this climate of evil, as throughout the age many attempted assasination attempts against the would be dictators, it should be noted that in the last half of the 20th century more presidents were assasinated than all of the previous eras combined.
However, freedom it seemed was forever doomed as in 1980 the two party system dissolved itself into one party as the Democrats and Republicans united into the United America Party in their mission to "Unite the White American Race in it's mission to establish a powerful empire like none other on this earth". At first they began with the children, establishing a National Youth Corps, and then things went to sh*t. First they deported all the minorities to secluded parts of the country, specifically in the Mountain West. Later on as they gained more and more control they started throwing people into "internment camps" to make room for White American settlements in the region, and then lastly there was extermination!
Now here we are in 2009, 80 full years since the Great Depression only to find that we are indeed still in a Great Depression of freedom!
Take up arms my brothers and sisters and let us usher in a new era!!!!!!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

The Great Depression and the End of Freedom:

Yes, thanks for revealing presidential list before you really started your TL

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

While I hate this crappy TV series (only character worth to watch is the one played by Donald Sutherland), there's a hypothetical RL commander-in-chief:

43rd: George W. Bush (R-TX), 2001-2009
44th: Pete Wilson (R-CA), 2009-2010
45th: Olympia Snowe (I-ME), 2010-present

With lack of good candidated for Bridges role, I go with Wilson, and with a lack of good candidate for Republican-Turned-Independent Allen I go with Snowe.

[Mechaman]

The Great Depression and the End of Freedom:

Yes, thanks for revealing presidential list before you really started your TL

How do you think I get most of my What-If ideas?
Staring at a wall? Sniffing glue?
No, it usually starts out with a list of alternate presidents.
Usually that's how I get the idea for the story, however the presidents (once I start writing the actual timeline) are subject to change.

Notes:
32. Died in office on December 25, 1937

33. First impeached President removed from office by Senate vote on corruption charges, July 2, 1940

34. Advances to Presidency from Speaker of the House. Died September 15, 1940

35. Speaker of the House and candidate for re-election to his Congressional District when President Bankhead died; returned to Speaker’s chair after completing his 4 months as President.

36. Died of heart attack on November 24, 1943

37. Vice President and former Rhode Island Governor (1939-1941) celebrated his 41st birthday when he learned the news of Roosevelt’s death. Youngest to become POTUS

38. FDR was Governor of New York (1929-1935) and US Senator (1935-1949), becoming Senate Majority Leader when Democrats won back control of Congress in the 1946 elections. As President, FDR continued Vanderbilt doctrine of Lend Lease to countries fighting Communist rebellions. As a result, the French captured Marxist Ho Chi Minh and defeated the Communists in Vietnam, Chiang Kai Shek and the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War, and Korea was united after Kim Il Sung’s compound was destroyed by hydrogen bombs. Roosevelt would enjoy 60 percent job approval ratings entering 1952 but the stress of fighting the Cold War took its toll and he suffered a fatal stroke on March 14, 1952.

40. Assassinated November 22, 1963 in San Francisco. President Goldwater traveled to California to raise money for the Republicans. The GOP was caught in a tug of war between its conservative wing led by Governor William Knowland and liberal wing led by San Francisco Mayor George Christopher.

41. Warren’s legacy as President was the numerous anti-poverty legislation and creation of Social Security for the elderly, which was opposed by conservatives. But his failure to defeat Communist rebels in Cuba resulted in his decision not to seek reelection in 1968.

42. Once LBJ was sworn in as POTUS, he did what Warren would not do in Cuba. After withdrawing 10,000 Marines from Cuba, Johnson dropped hydrogen and napalm bombs on the Sierra Maestre Valley where the Commies had their headquarters. The bombs killed over 20,000 people (mostly innocent civilians) including Ernesto “Che” Guevara and brothers Fidel and Raul Castro. The remaining Communists surrendered and the war was over. In 1972, Johnson would defeat former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller in a 49 state landslide. While celebrating Christmas at his ranch in Texas and preparing for his second term, LBJ suffered a fatal heart attack.

43. First Roman Catholic President. Died of complications from Addison’s Disease on August 8, 1974

47. Inaugurated at the age of 37, making him the youngest POTUS to date. Killed during bombing of Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995

48. Did not run for POTUS in 1996 and retired.

Neocon Democrats

POD: Henry Jackson is elected President in 1976, and what we refer to as neoconservatism becomes a tenet of the Left, leading to a 'neolibertarian' Democratic Party and a populistic Republican Party.  On Jackson's coattails, Elmo Zumwalt is elected to the Senate from Virginia in 1976.

39. Henry "Scoop" Jackson/Jimmy Carter (D): 1977-1985

How is that dystopia?

Well in the beginning Presidents of the list, they are fairly balanced, but in the coming presidents that I couldn't specify but with radical republicanism in power, it sends shockwaves through the nation, the moderates in the Republican party loose their fight against the Radicals. Humphrey isn't OTL Humphrey, he's somewhat like Nixon, some wiretapping, spying on the other party and power corrupts him quite a bit to the point he wanted to continue to run but his death in 1978 only stopped that. His "lackey's" are elected after his death as the US becomes more and more "undemocratic" as a ever powerful and ever growing fanaticism in the Radical Republicans has a solid grip on the nation.

It's only when Agran is elected on a National Unity ticket is there some hope of a true two party nation, but both Agran and G. J. Humphrey is assassinated, some allegations put it with radical republican support. With that, it ushers in Nader, who would serve out Agran/G. J. Humphrey's term. After that, Newton Augustus McPherson would rise to power on a mound of charisma, fiery spirit and nationalism and would be elected in 1996, reelected in 2000, 2004 and 2008 and would be talked about running again in 2012 and beyond. Under McPherson, there's is a much stricter electoral commission, usually disqualifying more popular candidates that want to run against McPherson and showing in 2008, there is practically no opponents.

McPherson also gives evermore aid to the massive "Church of Lincoln-ism" and continues the occupation of the former Confederate states. McPherson also would whip the nation into a fierce nationalistic fervor against the whole "Cold War" against Brazil and it's allies. So basically the moderates are defeated, the Democrats and the National Democrats collapse as corruption grows and grows in the Republican Party, to the point that it begins to erode the liberties the US was founded on, only to be replaced by boogieman fear and nationalistic fervor and hate for non "True Democratic Believers" and a mounting undemocratic system.

(Yes I know that this is probably hackish but just wanted to have some wonky fun)
