If thats the case where President Edwards signs the housing regulation bill mitigating the recession how would the Christian Right even get into power where Millenial voters don’t share the same views?
Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?
- Thread starter Iwanh
- Start date
Ehhhhhh, I feel like Obama would pick someone a bit more moderate.
I think there would be a different energy behind Obama in the Geronimo TL, it would still be something on the level of OTL 2008 campaign, but less safe and less mushy moderate, more radical and progressive, promising a true shift in the Overton Window and to secure the hard-fought victories that now seem to be on the cusp of being pulled away by Republicans.
I don't see why not, people are still gonna have anxieties with or without 9/11
What’s al-Zawahiri been up to lately since the short lived Afghanistan operation pushed Al-Queda completely out of the county? Is he trying to take over Egypt since Mubarak’s asassination by Atta?
I couldn't get this out of my head
Seems everyone here had forgotten about this message
I don't
Looking forward and exciting
@Iwanh I wanna ask some pop culture things which didn't mentioned in previous pop culture chapters
Does these existed still ?
Madagascar (2005)
Smack that by Akon (2006)
Everytime we touch by Cascada (2006)
So sick by Ne Yo (2006)
Patience by Take That (2006)
How To Save A Life by The Fray (2006)
Fergalicious by Fergie (2006)
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day (2004 in American idiots )
Holiday by Green Day (2005)
Holiday I pretty sure that it would be butterflied, because according to Wikipedia, this song is as an outspoken "Fuck you" to George W Bush
As for Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, despite American Idiots never made, but I still wonder would Green Day still makes this song as a single?
Just wanna make sure

With counter terrorism and counter insurgency a low priority for the US Military how does it affect is military development programs like the F-35 or the F-22 production like does it continue to be produced beyond 2009 as originally as intended and would the US government lift the ban on Lockheed Martin on selling the F-22 to its allies like Japan and Australia which are the most likely customers for the Raptor?
Once this timeline is finished it'd be neat to have it published as a book. I'd 100% buy it
The problem imo it was it would miss out on the extra content (ATL videos and the more article like sections)
Will address in Culture 07
Putin (at least pre-2014) was a very transactional figure, we'll see what transactions he tries to make
While Edwards doesn't have a confirmed history of affairs, what he did is highly suggestive of a deep character flaw. The topic will be addressed one way or another.
I'm obviously going to be doing a lot of writing on this come 08, but it's important to remember that on the surface 'subprime mortgages' were politically popular, who wants to be the guy that makes housing more expensive?
Isolationism just won't be a legitimate political policy, it's expected that the United States take interventionist stances now, the question is how high it jumps.
There's always a backlash, the rejection of W might lead evangelicals to double down
Correct, but there are also lots of studies (and articles, books, TV shows movies etc) that the 9/11 attacks was an act of collective trauma that literally gave the nation PTSD, so perhaps everyone's brains are less broken ITTL
Eh, but Mission Hill aired from 99-00, so I think the message would still be relevant, because it was meant for pre-9/11 world
Oh I agree, people will always be anxious about the future and the dawn of the internet, and full globalization amplified this, but ITTL it's without that buzzing fear of a fiery death
"Oh well, life sucks, might as well eat something fancy at Windows of the World and then look at the view at the observation deck."
-People ITTL (2007 idk)
I wanna see in a world where 9/11 doesn’t happen — the 2000s start around 2004 before ending sometime around 2009/2010.
Y2k ITTL would likely last a bit longer but begin to slowly fade away starting around in late 2005 before being supplanted by Fruitger Aero by mid to late 2007 with the release of the Iphone. If the Edwards administration manage to mitigate the effects of the housing bubble successfully then Smartphones and flatscreen tvs would become common by around 2009-2010 rather then 2013-2014 like in OTL.
