Context

Of the 2072 presidential election

It was the end of an era.
         The "Northern Strategy" that the Republican Party had opted to adapt, instead of adapting to the changing political climate of the 21st century, was crumbling in front of the elephant's eyes. Yes, the Democrats had incorporated populism of sorts into their 2072 platform, but it delivered them several "blue wall" states that the GOP took for granted as guardians of their brief hegemony - Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
          A decade ago, this map would have been laughed at.
They said that Ally would never win. She was "too liberal", they said. Murdock was over-qualified for her position. She had the positions of vice president, senator, governor, and representative under her belt - what more could the "real Americans" of the Upper South and Lower Midwest ask for? But she wouldn't have it. She would go to great lengths to unearth all of their scandals, their weaknesses, and lay her plan for a "brighter America" for all on the table, bright as day, for all to see.
          And then, there was Dylan. The pseudo-technocratic businessman from the West Coast, who had dared to defy allies in his own party, dismissing them as hypocrites, two-faced corporate shills who gave not a care about the average, hard-working American. This won him California - the first time a third-party candidate had carried even a singular states in a century.
          Another decade, another realignment, it seemed. The Republicans would have to change their ways, or risk losing the entire Midwest and being locked out of the presidency for a generation. The Democrats, fond of their newfound strategy, were poised for another era of relative dominance.
          What happens next? Ask the history books of the future.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Try and guess what this map is.

[Politician]

Try and guess what this map is.

Green: Voted for both parties between 2000-2016
Light red/blue: Voted for same party all five elections, but within 5% in one or more of those elections
Dark red/blue: Voted for same party by 5%+ margin all five times

Dark red/blue: Voted for same party by 5%+ margin all five times

Close, its actually 6% for the threshold between light and dark, not 5%.

Otherwise, Arkansas, Georgia, and Washington would be dark.

The real map

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Apportionment if only Clinton voters mattered. Trump still wins with 276 EVs.

Same thing but with Trump voters. Trump wins with 344 EVs.

And of course, third-parties:

Trump wins 285-253.

Comparison. Light colors are two-way-ties, colored for which party it doesn't break for. Gray is three-way tie. Three guesses as to why the third-parties overperformed in Utah (and to a lesser extent, New Mexico and Vermont).

1940
The 1940 election took place in the shadow of the late president Smedley Butler, who had presided over nearly eight tumultuous years of national reconstruction and the introduction of some aspects of socialist economic policy. While many on the left saw his presidency as the end of America's "Weimar" era spanning 1918-1932, many others viewed him as its apex. After all, expropriations had been violent and often backed with vigilante "Labor gangs"; in the South, the implementation of "fair voting" practices had resulted in multiple insurgencies as extra-state groups of all orientations lined up against each other. Nevertheless, in the hearts of many working Americans, Butler had left a lasting legacy that the administration's opponents would be hard-pressed to fight and the administration's supporters hard-pressed to live up to.

The inaugural American convention served to unite a litany of interests--primarily right-leaning--around opposition to involvement in the wars in Europe and Asia then raging. Despite strong support for Burton Wheeler, Joseph Kennedy, and Robert Taft, the convention chose celebrity and aviator Charles Lindbergh, the movement's godfather, as its nominee. For Vice President, in order to appeal to Eastern voters, former Republicans, and those who saw in Labor's machine the stalking horses of organized crime and corruption, crusading New York DA Thomas Dewey was selected.

Despite an energetic and charismatic campaign by the newly inaugurated president LaGuardia, he was unable to inspire the enthusiasm his predecessor had generated. Labor would come to blame its (later vindicated) "preparedness" campaign, centered around the idea of aiding the liberal and socialist states of Europe and Asia in their war against fascism and militarism. America was still then deeply isolationist, and despite several conservative voting disadvantages, the American Party took the day.

Mr. Charles Lindbergh (American-Michigan)/District Attorney Thomas Dewey (American-New York) 277 electoral votes, 48.9% of the popular vote
President Fiorello LaGuardia (Labor-New York)/Secretary of War George Dern (Labor-Utah) 254 electoral votes, 48.7% of the popular vote
Others: (Communist, Peace, States' Rights), 0 electoral votes, 2.4% of the popular vote

I just took out all the major party (Clinton/Dole/Perot votes) and calculated the %s of what was left.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Similarly to MB's map, I took 2000 and got rid of the top vote getters (Gore, Bush, Nader)

Pat Buchanan/Ezola Foster (Reform): 41.47%, 306 EV
Harry Browne/Art Olivier (Libertarian): 35.51%, 224 EV
Howard Phillips/Curtis Frazier (Constitution): 9.05%, 8 EV
John Hagelin/Nat Goldhaber (Natural Law): 7.73%, 0 EV
All others: 4.73%, 0 EV

Unrelated to the content, that color scheme is beautiful. At most I would make the blue ever so slightly lighter or the yellow darker.

Honestly, it would probably be even worse for Republicans that that map has it if McCain was president.
