Light of the Nations - Part 14: The WhirlwindLight of the Nation - Part 13: Galloping Towards Victory
The 1984 election started close. Vice President Jimmy Carter facing off against Senator Bob Dole, it was anyone’s game. But it would not stay that way for long. Several factors were at play. Firstly the Mondale connection buoyed Carter more than was expected. As the economy began to grow, and Mondale’s term wound up, many Americans liked the President more than ever. And that quite naturally led to folks looking at his Vice President favorably.
Carter may not have enamored Democratic elites, but he was acceptable and benefited from a strong apparatus. Meanwhile, Dole saw campaign staff turnover quickly, the campaign muddled. He lurched from a Southern strategy to a Northern strategy and back again. The initial plan of “make the election a referendum about Mondale” had to be scuttled. Ad buys did do some work portraying Carter as weak, but Dole was an imperfect messenger. He could play the stable statesmen, but he wasn’t exactly a tough macho man.
Carter meanwhile, benefited from a clearer campaign vision. Let Jimmy by Jimmy in the South, and let Jimmy be Mondale’s Vice President in the North. It was a strategy that left the west and plains adrift. But it was a sound one. The debates, a rematch of the ‘76 VP debates, were something of a draw. Dole proved less plodding than expected, and got off a few “zingers.” But Carter acquitted himself well against all attacks. A similar dynamic played out in the VP debates.
The end result was a solid popular vote performance, accompanied by a stirring electoral college one. Carter took the East by storm and Dole the West. They split the Northeast, but Carter took the big prizes. And he ran away with the South and Midwest.
For the first time since 1948, the Democrats had managed three successive terms in office.
For the first time since 1836, a Vice President had been elected directly to the Presidency.
For the first time ever, a woman would be Vice President.

I take either the Civil War didn't happen, or the Supreme Court said that West Virginia is unconstitutional.View attachment 907073
little lore, feel free to ask about it
They have, I just didn't want to do all the math of figuring out plausible population figures for all their territories (including extraterrestrial territory).If it is Habsburg Empire in 3024, haven't they done any census in over 1000 years?

Why is Dakota not split in two and still has Wyoming? What is the name of the fusion between Utah and Nevada? When were Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Puerto Rico admitted into the Union? Is DC a state?an alt-civil war happened, with virginia remaining in the union. slavery was still abolished though

Does this mean that aliens have embraced human religion and can reproduce with humans or that homo sapiens born off-world are regarded as something other than human?View attachment 907228

Yes to the former. Catholicism is the single largest (and majority) religion of the Milky Way. (Fun fact: First contact occurred when the Kingodm of Ruttia, the local galactic power at the time, observed Earth as part of some xenological studies and became convinced that Jesus Christ was the Saviour spoken of in their major prophecies and that the Catholic Church was the one that He founded. Humanity was quite surprised when the King of Ruttia landed in Rome and requested baptism from the Pope.) Most extraterrestrials are also of the humanoid variety and can produce viable offspring with humans and each other. Due to this and the universalising influence of Catholicism, your species has become increasingly less important except for e.g., medical reasons and the like, which is why the census is more generic than species-specific. As separation between species declines, interspecies marriage has become increasingly more common and the lines between different ones become more blurred. This is especially prominent on Earth which is one of the most cosmopolitan worlds as the home of the largest religion, the capital of the Galactic League, and one of the few intersections between multiple hyperlanes. The Habsburgs for example have married into multiple extraterrestrial royal families by now (and still have their signature luck in inheritances) and there's hardly a place left on Earth where a human isn't at least acquainted one or more extraterrestrials and/or mixed species people.Does this mean that aliens have embraced human religion and can reproduce with humans or that homo sapiens born off-world are regarded as something other than human?
