    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    The US never declared war on Finland during WW2, and only broke off diplomatic relations due to heavy lobbying from the Soviet government. The US government reopened diplomatic relations pretty much immediately after Finland stopped overtly cooperating with the Nazis. Probably only a few people...

    A Duty to be Done

    So, one could think of this as the 2016 election, but in the midst of the social tensions of the 1970s. Fun.

    A Duty to be Done

    It'll be interesting to see the effects Carter losing has on the Democratic Party ITTL. 1976 was the second Presidential race after the McGovern-Fraser recommendations and the first in which primaries (rather than caucuses) dominated the primary process, so Carter was in many ways a test-run for...

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    So, Algeria is working on getting out of the war, while Libya has decided they REALLY want to fight the United States. I guess a UNSC resolution isn't needed when your opponent did you the courtesy of triggering NATO's Article 5.

    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    It will be interesting to see how Western leftism (especially more moderate social democrats and non-revolutionary socialists) interact with syndicalism. Even more so when (if?) the environmental movement starts up. I could easily see environmental syndicalism becoming a reasonably-sized...

    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    So, I'm guessing the Cold War is over now? And with China still recovering from all the crap they went through, there really isn't anyone to be the US' geopolitical rival. East Austria actually has a higher population (and presumably a bigger economy) than West Austria. If you divided them up...

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    Whoops, got it in my mind that it was 2014 in-TL for some reason. *shrug* Maybe the affects that the different state governments are having, especially Florida and Ohio.

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    I'm not complaining. The fact that the rest of the world gets ignored aside from a few brief mentions is also something I've found to be frustrating with a lot of US political timelines, especially given that the US is the world superpower and as such minor changes in domestic US policy should...

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    Oh you clever bastard, you got us hooked by getting us thinking this was an Americal politics timeline, when in fact it's about a major war in North Africa and the formation of a Pan-European Military. :p

    Is Syria still collapsing into Civil War per OTL, or has that been butterflyed away?

    Helter Skelter: A Timeline

    So, we've got George McGovern's rant about how the system is rigged against him, Ed Muskie being coy with the voters, and Gary Hart being...Gary Hart.

    I would've paid anything to see a three-way primary race between Trump, Gary Johnson, and Herman Cain.

    Twilight of the Red Tsar

    Forgive me for forgetting this, but what happened with Vienna? Did it remain divided like East and West Berlin, or did all of Vienna get incorporated into the Soviet Zone (and thus into East Austria)?

    Pres. Nixon, preparing for some Judas-killing.

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    So, we've got Muammar Gaddafi backed by Algeria vs. the Libyan Rebels backed by Egypt-in-turmoil. With the assumption that Syria is going to play out roughly along OTL. Medditeranean Refuge Crisis three years early, anyone?

    Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive: An Alternate 2010 Midterm TL

    So, fewer people died (four rather than six), and Giffords was shot in the chest rather than the head. So Giffords might recover quicker, and not resign her seat?

    The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    So, over the past few days, I watched all of Season Two. I enjoyed it, a great deal more than Season One, which felt like it had no idea where it was going. Still, they could have probably made Season Two five one-hour episodes instead of ten, cut out 50% of the stuff they put in there, and it...

    Demwank timeline? Demwank timeline, sure why not. I need the escapism right now.
