Warbucks indeed opposed the New Deal in the original comic strips. However this bit is inspired more by the Broadway version where Warbucks supports the New Deal seeing no alternative. My outlook is that he supports the New Deal early on due to believing it’s regrettably necessary, but after Windrip’s regime turns on it arguing it led to his rise. Warbucks also very likely could’ve aligned with Galt during Thingmaker’s term and perhaps serves as a propertian movement founder a la Henry Hazlitt or Ludwig von Mises
Yamaoka didn’t reveal that publicly as he had enough to deal with as it was.

2023-2025: Tammy Baldwin / Corey Johnson (Democratic)
2025: ??? 2024: Tucker Carlson / Bill Lee (Republican) v. Tammy Baldwin / Corey Johnson (Democratic)
Against all odds, the "meme" candidacy of venture capitalist and businessman Andrew Yang wins out against Senators Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, as well as former Congressman Beto O'Rourke. Yang's stunning opposition to the Operation Venezuelan Freedom won him many plaudits from voters. Nonetheless, Senator Sanders secured a win by getting one of his endorsers on the Democratic ticket. Despite the fact Yang won the nomination, Businessman Howard Schultz pressed ahead with his abysmally unpopular candidacy, selecting terminally awful pundit David Brooks as his centrist running mate. The campaign pitted two businessmen against eachother, however the fallout from Trump dumping Mike Pence as his running mate would incite much controversy and push many Republican voters towards staying home. Yang triumphed, promising peace abroad and prosperity at home.
Skepticism from left and right alike proved both correct and unfounded as Yang unceremoniously withdrew America from the quagmire in Venezuela and finally took the radical step of ending the filibuster, using the special time he had in the majority to appoint two Supreme Court justices, enact a carbon tax, reverse the Trump Tax Cuts, push for a public option, and announce a referendum on Puerto Rico's statehood to coincide with the 2022 midterms. His main fight - the program of "Yangbucks" - or UBI - would be a tricky one indeed. While many were indeed enticed, the prospect of replacing a number of welfare programs wholesale struck many Democratic officials as suspect. However, Yang fought hard for what he wanted, and he didn't want his trademark policy falling by the wayside. After a remarkable swing upwards in the economy manifested itself in 2022, resulting in a victory for the President in the midterms, he finally had the capitol to make one last push on his program. The Future Dividend Act of 2021 passed narrowly, and Yang ensured his legacy as a transformational president.
Something was bubbling underneath the surface. Many in the "alt-right" movement, even those who had once ironically supported Yang, were ever so incensed at an Asian man and a lesbian enacting leftist policies (one exception was immigration where Yang was especially mum, having allegedly been reigned in from his more conservative leanings by staff and his VP). The growth of far right terrorism, allegedly bolstered by the rhetoric of former President Trump and talk show host Tucker Carlson, became a point of worry for many. President Yang was not immune. He, along with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and many other figures in the Democratic party, became targets of ire. The summer of 2023 was particularly violent, culminating with the assassination of President Yang.
Tammy Baldwin never expected to be the one at the top, contenting herself to working within the role of Vice President. She nevertheless made herself a prominent figure, promising to crackdown on the threat of fascist violence, selecting the Mayor of NYC who had already dealt with a failed terror attack. A backlash would obviously follow. Tucker Carlson, having spent several years promoting the language of white nationalists and racists, decided it was time for a job promotion. He ran in the Republican primary on an outsider campaign lambasting elites and globalists, beating back Senators Matt Gaetz and Tom Cotton, as well as Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., who proved to have the charisma of wet clay. Carlson's general election campaign would be staffed by volunteers from not only Maxime Bernier's People's Party in Canada, but also Tommy Robinson's UKIP and the National Front in France. While Baldwin had a clear and consistent lead throughout, last minute reports of a fake "bombshell" scandal sunk her numbers enough in a number of battleground states that Carlson could legitimately be in contention. On election night, Baldwin won the popular vote by 8%, but Republican governments in Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, Texas, and Georgia made voter registration much more difficult and suppressed minority turnout. Recounts continue a month after the election, and many wonder if the nation will ever recover from this split.

The Second Constitutional Convention was convened in 1998 in President Perot’s second term. It concluded in 1999 having ratified a series of amendments that repealed birthright citizenship, mandated a balanced budget, banned flag-burning, created an option for federal ballot initiatives, expanded Congress's ability to regulate campaign financing, and changed the system of government to one where the president is elected by the House. Elections for president were to occur at the same time as the presidential elections, with the option of calling an “emergency election” (a snap election in any other country’s parlance).
Pat Buchanan (Reform): 2001-2002 2000: Reform (250), Federalist (177), American Labor (8)
Buchanan emerges triumphant from a knock-down primary against other factional leaders within the Reform Party, which wins a substantial majority in the 2000 election. He is able to secure the votes needed to make him president only by assuring his members that he would not pursue a course of governance outside the party mainstream.
In June 2001, Buchanan signs the first ever authorization of a national ballot initiative, which seeks to raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00. It fails, but an attempt to raise it to $6.50 passes in July 2002.
Immigration is reduced from 600,000 per year to 100,000. Buchanan also redoubles enforcement and reduces the number of illegal crossings to nearly zero, finishing the work Perot began in fully halting illegal immigration.
An amendment is passed banning gay marriage nationwide.
A mounting recession dents Buchanan's popularity little, since Americans had made up their minds for him or against him early in his term.
Mounting splits within the party lead to de facto splintering in summer 2002; Buchanan's faction being too small to command a majority of the House, Buchanan resigns in November 2002, prompting an election the next month.
The Constitution is amended so that redistricting is the responsibility of a federal nonpartisan committee that submits a proposal to Congress.
The size of the House is expanded to 717, effective as of the 2004 election.
A nationwide carbon tax is implemented.
Hemp is legalized.
The United States raises tariffs.
An attempt at a Canadian-style universal healthcare system proves terrifically unpopular as it moves through Congress and fails narrowly in the Senate. Instead, Nader compromises with members in opposing parties and factions and passes a bill mandating employer coverage and instituting various free-market reforms like allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines, repealing the deduction for employer-provided health insurance, and mandating rate-reporting by hospitals.
E-Verify is implemented nationwide, and the H1B visa program is eliminated.
Along with the healthcare bill, a ban on handguns and an attempt to severely restrict logging and mining in the west prompts a rebellion among congressmen from the Reform strongholds in the West, which brings Nader down.
Bilingual education and ballots are banned and English is made the official language via amendment.
Nader-era gun laws are repealed.
Social Security is put on firm footing as a package is passed lowering the retirement age, implementing a one-time wealth tax, and raising the payroll tax by 3%.
The economy enters a small but persistent recession in 2010 as bubbles deflate without popping.
A massive new infrastructure bill is passed that includes money for high-speed rail and repairs of existing roads.
Chafee’s proposal for metrication fails within the first month of the new Congress, but he recovers eventually.
The death penalty is banned nationwide, but the Supreme Court rules that states may choose for themselves which effectively confines the law to the federal death penalty.
Marijuana is removed from the federal drug schedule along with other drugs not deemed dangerous.
A law to legalize abortion until the third trimester passes narrowly.
Washington, DC is granted statehood but a similar proposal for Puerto Rico fails.
Chafee barely survives a challenge from Greg Orman in 2015, and then another the same year from Rocky De La Fuente.
The gay marriage amendment is repealed, but a referendum to legalize gay marriage fails by a margin of three to two.
A series of high-profile rapes and murders by MS13 in the Southwest, Long Island, and Maryland highlight the Chafee administration’s lassitude on border security.
The Buchananites nearly obtain an outright majority over anger at the ongoing recession and the unpopular pushes of the Chafee administration.
Early on, Congress passes a law legalizing gay marriage, which Carlson and a minority of his caucus vote for. Carlson is able to convince otherwise socially conservative Congressmen to vote for the law by appealing to the legacy of Perot, who favored gay rights early on, and by assuring them that a subsequent bill would hash out the details of religious liberty. The latter bill took a long time to pass, but it enshrined sexual orientation as a protected class for federal discrimination and protected the free-speech and free-practice rights of employees, business owners such as bakers and florists, and churches.[1]
Abortion is banned after the first trimester nationwide.
Affirmative action is banned as well.
Passed by commanding majorities of all caucuses, a bill outlining a national industrial policy, complete with tariffs, tax breaks for development in depressed areas, and retraining programs for laidoff workers, is signed by Carlson.
Puerto Rico is put on the path to independence by 2021.
President Carlson is currently working on a bill that would expedite the process of drug approval by the FDA and cap the amount of money the federal government would spend on drugs that expensive but commonly prescribed.
His most recent State of the Union also outlined a promise for new funds for AIDS clinics and HIV research, which members of all Reform Party caucuses have called for and on which he hopes to make good.
Current leaders, in order of seats in the House:
Buchananite faction: Tucker Carlson
Naderite faction: Jon Tester
Federalist Party: Bill Haslam
Perotite faction: Ed Case
Davisite faction: Tom Perriello

1804: def. George Cabot (Mercantile)
1808: def. Harrison Gray Otis (Mercantile) Alexander Hamilton (Mercantile) 1812-1815
1812: def. Jared Irwin (Citizens') Oliver Hazard Perry (Citizens') 1815-1817
1816: suspended Treaty of London signed 1817
"The Rebellion of 1776 was always headed to failure from the start. The Janus-headed revolution of Northern mercantilism and Southern agrarianism breeding starkly different views, once left alone revelled in its contradictions. The Northern mercantiles created the Merchant's Association, aka the 'Mercantile Party'. Due to trade interests still pinned with the mother country, the Mercantiles was always arguing against war with Britain, instead casting scepticism on America's relationship with the now unstable and revolutionary France. The 'Assembly of Citizens', aka the Citizens' Party, was direct from the Southern elite. Those people were the ones who saw France as a role model and was deep in Enlightenment thinking despite the sheer contradiction their words of liberty had with their acts of slavery.
With President Irwin authorising war against Britain in an incredibly divisive move in 1811, the stage was set for the most bitter election in the young republic's history, and by a slim hair Alexander Hamilton won. Hamilton was known to be a staunch opposer of allying with the 'barbarous' French and for a peace with Britain. The Citizens got antsy and paranoid talk of Hamilton 'signing away American liberties' spread. With the war turning shaky and John Jay sent to London to negotiate an amiable peace, many became convinced that Hamilton was a British spy came to undermine America. So Oliver Hazard Perry made his move.
The coup of 1815 destroyed the last facade of American 'democracy' and established that might made right. With President Hamilton rotting in an unknown cell, his faction was outraged and in London, William Pitt made his move. Declaring that Perry's regime was illegitimate, the British Government would 'welcome prodigial sons back into the fold'. As Perry and the Citizens' Party became more authoritarian and implemented 'Atrocious Acts that would blanch even the most dyed-blue Patriot', the Mercantiles shifted more and more towards Pitt's Promise. In the end, with little Vermont being the first to declare that Perry 'has made our whole Revolution all a Farce' shortly after the 1816 election was suspended 'in the Interests of national Order', many followed.
And with many states including his native Rhode Island (by a bitter and slim margin) defecting, Perry found that winning the war became impossible. And as British forces surrounded the White House, President Perry glumly realised that the cause was lost.
The Treaty that followed only recognised the inevitable - the United States was no more."
Decided to try an early 19th century USA list for the fun of it.
Here is the list of presidents of the United States in my crossover timeline The Worlds We Weave from 1897 to just past the present day (to 2021) and a summary of their terms. I made a list of presidents from 1789 to 1897 already which can be read here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...ossover-timeline.452759/page-24#post-18392076.
[SNIP]
And here's the presidents from 2021 to 2101 84. David Jefferson Adams (Republican) 2021-2025 (Killed in office)
Adams quickly became one of the most reviled presidents in American history. Wilson refused to accept the election results, aligning with Native American separatists in the Ghost Dance War which saw the Pacific Northwest gain independence. While briefly cutting government and empowering corporations to set the surnames of their employees, Adams would deescalate some of the rampant privatization Nolan and Winters had pursued, seeing it as detrimental to his own goals of suppressing dissent. During Adams’ term, the US was briefly occupied by the extradimensional Combine Empire. The Federated Nations set up a Lunar penal colony that Adams used to exile certain dissidents over the course of his term. The world would also be ravaged by a mass sterility epidemic that Adams did little to nothing to combat despite rapidly declining birthrates. Adams used the courts to disqualify almost all of his potential rivals from Elle Woods to Alex Keaton. Media outlets were subject to censorship, with only lunatic conspiracy theorists in the vein of Dale Gribble being given continued freedom to operate. Tensions with Greater Hun Chiu continually escalated under Adams’ administration. Adams encouraged the public to integrate into digital worlds such as the OASIS and the World Seed in the hopes that this would prevent unrest. Ultimately Adams was easily reelected thanks to the lack of opposition, but on inauguration day 2025, over twenty nuclear devices were detonated in various cities across America, killing Adams, Vice President Tracy Flick and the whole line of succession.
85. John Shaw (Independent) 2025-2027 (Assassinated)
Shaw had served as Secretary of State to Hammond, Whitmore and Kane in the 1990’s, but had been retired for many years. He was selected as the leader of the interim US government as a consensus pick owing to his generally apolitical nature on domestic policy. When Shaw took the reigns, America was in chaos. Shaw’s Columbus government was one of six governments claiming legitimacy amidst the collapse of the central US government. The European Union, under the leadership of Felsenburgh, had occupied the ruins of Washington and Alaska by Russians who refused to withdraw after their homeland was nuked by Hun Chiu while the western Allied States of America’s decision to bomb Hun Chiu and Asran led to Hun Chiu launching an invasion of the West Coast. The US was attacked by hacked drones along with China by Raul Menendez, with the goal of delaying organization in pushing back against all these threats. Large swathes of the country were overtaken by the Project at Eden’s Gate, the Christian Marines Corps and other cults and fanatical groups. Shaw, in order to restore order, accepted the proposal of Metropolis Mayor Norman Osborne to suspend major civil liberties, launching the ‘street judge’ system and cryogenically freezing criminals found guilty by these judges. Thanks to Shaw’s leadership, most of the eastern US was quickly reunified and, when the Allied States and Hun Chiu attempted to invade Texas, Texas aligned with Shaw’s government. By the end of his term, Shaw had pushed out Hun Chiu, collapsing their sphere of influence. However, Shaw would be assassinated by the aged mercenary Anton Chigurh at the behest of the Allied States’ rump government.
86. Sean Rathcock (Independent) 2027-2029
Rathcock was an anti-Adams Republican and a veteran of the Blutarsky era’s wars. Rathcock would thwart an attempt by an Allied States-aligned billionaire named Luther Voz to spark worldwide nuclear war. Rathcock also legalized marijuana and helped sponsor the First Hundred’s mission to Mars. He provided amnesty to illegal immigrants willing to assist in mopping up the remnant warlord factions from the Third American Civil War. He also would legalize human augmentation after anti-augmentation terrorists were blamed for a widespread software virus. Rathcock’s administration helped sponsor rebuilding efforts for the cities destroyed on Inauguration Day with the help of the Scarlet Witch and helped spread the antidote to the sterility plague created by Martha Jones and Robert Chase. Earth was visited by a spaceship shaped like an icosahedral from another universe during Rathcock’s term and Nevada astronauts training for a later Mars mission were threatened by the Radical-6 virus. Rathcock also thwarted the invasion launchd by the parasitic 'masters' that resided on the moon Titan, although he was forced to use a Venusian bioweapon to eliminate them on Earth. Rathcock declined to run for reelection.
87. Lisa Simpson (Democrat) 2029 (Killed in office)
Simpson was a childhood prodigy who was always a socially conscious, environmentalist sort of person. Upon taking office, Simpson faced many problems, such as China seeking to collect on the US’s enormous national debt, mass explosions of experimental anti-matter reactors, flooding and riots in Sarkhan and a major drought that led to some regions such as Australia not experiencing rain for a decade. Simpson was president when America’s mutant population was wiped out following the deaths of Charles Xavier and Logan Howlett and the flight of most of the nation’s mutant children into Canada. The biggest disaster of Simpson’s presidency was the Moonfall, where the Moon was hit by an asteroid, moved closer to the planet’s surface sparking major flooding and caused chunks to rain down on it as well as mass insanity often documented in broadcasts (which provoked the airing of a video urging civilians to commit suicide that had been made by the Norcross administration). Simpson would ultimately die during this event when Air Force One was struck by a chunk of debris from the Moon’s collapse.
88. Charles Haskell (Democrat) 2029-2030 (Killed in terrorist attack)
Haskell was tasked with repairing the damage from the Moonfall, which was widespread and cost billions of dollars to deal with. Flood risks became increasingly common and Hawaii was threatened by a Trioxin outbreak when some of the flooding washed some infectees from the Banoi Archipelago to the state. Haskell backed the intervention of the Global Headquarters to restore order to Japan, which had been ravaged by a deadly Trioxin outbreak in the early 2020’s. Haskell would attempt to deal with these issues, but would ultimately be killed in a terrorist attack during his first State of the Union address that also claimed the lives of most of the line of succession.
89. Thomas Kirkman (Democrat) 2030-2033
Kirkman served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to Simpson and Haskell and was the designated survivor for the State of the Union. Kirkman would have to contend with the fallout from the attack, which included attempts by Michigan’s governor to suppress civil liberties and restoring the composition of Congress. These weren’t the only issues Kirkman would have to tackled. He had the US support the war effort against the Invid invaders and the efforts to reverse White Chlorination Syndrome. The biggest issues Kirkman faced was the increasing radicalization of large swathes of the right wing, whom had grown disgusted with what they decried as degenerate Bartlet liberalism. Even Republicans like Grant, Adams and Rathcock were condemned as sellouts to cultural Marxism and many members of the public began listening to the ultraconservative ideals of folks like Jake Rivers, Maryanne Bryant, Peter Petrawicki and Norman Arbuthnot. Amidst the loss of major urban centers and multiple invasions of the US, it seemed as though God was punishing the country. This attitude led the Republicans to nominate the demagogic preacher Nehemiah Scudder for the presidency. Scudder openly called for America to become a theocracy and suppress everything he deemed to be sinful. Initially it seemed as though Kirkman would manage to stave off this challenge, but in 2032, Los Santos was hit by a severe earthquake that rendered the city and surrounding communities like Angel Grove and Neptune into a devastated island. As Scudder had warned that God would judge Los Santos as a den of sin, this led many to conclude Scudder was right and he would emerge triumphant in the elections that year.
90. Nehemiah Scudder (Republican/Son of Jacob) 2033-2038 (Died in office)
Scudder, upon taking the presidency, quickly plotted to solidify his power amidst mass protests against his rule and his more unpopular policies. He had a cabal of his allies, known as the Sons of Jacob, carry out a massacre on President’s Day targeting numerous other politicians. By doing so, he secured his hold over the country. Scudder subsequently declared the dissolution of the United States and reformed it into the totalitarian Republic of Gilead, with himself as its First Prophet. Scudder rewrote the calendar to define the beginning of his rule as Year Zero, banned non-Christian faiths and exterminated mutants, aliens, wizards, magical beings and LGBT people en masse. Large swathes of the country broke off from his rule, ranging from the Native American Nations (whom embraced a near-Pengist ideology at this time to the point of burning almost all books) to California (which had broken away as megacorporations turned on Scudder). Scudder would seek to solidify his hold on power using technology, having allies like OCP and Cyberlife create machines capable of carrying out key functions of society. Cyberlife androids would ultimately rebel and flee Gilead in 2038, prompting Scudder to purge the company’s leadership. Scudder would contend with an unfriendly global situation, as old US allies eschewed his regime in favor of various rebel groups (Britain in particular despising Gilead for attempting to restore the Shepherd Party regime that had collapsed the previous decade with the help of PetroFex and Japan worked with California and the NAN to combat the Pacific kaiju problems) and old enemies ended up being more radically against Scudder’s regime, such as the Second Jihad movement and neo-Ushiites in Russia. Scudder also reduced women to second-class citizens, rendering large swaths of the female population sex slaves including a large number for himself. He would end up dying amidst intercourse with some of these ‘Virgins.’
91. Henry Jarrett (Son of Jacob) 2038-2040 (Overthrown)
Jarrett had technically been president of Gilead, a largely ceremonial position owing to Scudder’s iron grip on the government’s functions. Jarrett was slightly more level-headed than Scudder had been, toning down much of the rhetoric even as he maintained the same policies. The proclamations issued by Stephen Colbert were less outlandish than they had been under Scudder and he attempted to negotiate normalized relations abroad. This attempt failed however. Jarrett was also president when the Ganymedans temporarily conquered Earth. Gilead was easily crushed by the Ganymedans, but easily beat the flintlock-armed Roxolani and helped defeat the Evoluder. However, Jarrett’s regime proved not to be long-lasting, as a mass revolt broke out in 2040. Jarrett was murdered by his own Virgins and the Gilead regime came to an end.
92. Leslie Knope (Independent) 2040-2041
Knope had served as governor of Indiana during the Third American Civil War and helped facilitate the support the state gave to the Columbus government headed by Shaw. Knope had been a presidential candidate in 2028, but lost out to Simpson and ended up as Secretary of the Interior under Kirkman. Knope, however, would rise to prominence during the Gilead era for being a symbol of female resistance to the regime. Using a network of safehouses across Indiana, Winnemac and Michigan, Knope coordinated resistance activities and managed to avoid being captured by authorities. She also made many visits to Canada, where she was in essence treated as a representative of the US government in exile and negotiated what was in essence a unification agreement. Canadian forces would help liberate the United States and she would easily be selected as the interim president of the new United Canadian and American States. Knope would seek to curb megacorporate power amid Maximum Inc.’s attempts to take over Metropia and supported Susan Calvin’s robotics research and efforts to expand some rights to androids, although these plans ultimately fell through. Knope in essence marked a return to normalcy for the country and left office after not contesting the 2040 election.
93. Robert McCalistair (Independent) 2041-2049
McCalistair was an anti-Adams and later anti-Scudder Republican—that is to say, a moderate in the vein of former President Grant. McCalistair failed to win the Republican nomination owing to being seen as too moderate, with the party instead selecting the more conservative, but still anti-dictator Alex Keaton for the nomination. McCalistair nevertheless managed to win as an independent. McCalistair’s term in office marked the beginning of the ‘Second Renaissance’ as technology and prosperity reached new heights. Robotics advanced greatly during his administration, as McCalistair supported the development of companies like RobCo and Delos Industries. McCalistair would have to contend with the Chtorr incursion during his presidency, successfully preventing an alien ecosystem from overtaking Earth’s. Municiberg was destroyed in a terrorist attack during his administration and controversy erupted when McCalistair was found to be romantically involved with his Vice President. McCalistair was also president when the warlord known as Grandmaster Meio attempted to conquer the Earth, though Meio ultimately was defeated with little help from the president. McCalistair also contributed to the multinational XCOM force sent after the Tarsians following their 2046 invasion attempt. McCalistair also bolstered the space program during his time in office and left the presidency generally liked if not particularly loved.
94. Dunkelzahn (Democrat) 2049 (Assassinated)
Dunkelzahn was the first nonhuman confirmed to have held the presidency, being one of the dragons to reemerge during the Awakening of Magic. Dunkelzahn had helped defend the supernatural community during the Gilead era and won much of his support from said community. Dunkelzahn’s presidency proceeded uneventfully due to ending up being even shorter than Atchison’s, as the dragon was assassinated within six hours of taking office.
95. Gerald Keith (Democrat) 2049-2053
Keith was an anti-Gilead preacher whom entered politics during the McCalistair administration and had been selected to reassure moderates Dunkelzahn wouldn’t render them slaves or food. Keith would fend off an invasion by the Hing and deal with the outbreak of a modified Rage strain known alternately as the Gray Death, the New Plague, Mad Human Disease, the Flare Virus or the Green Flu. While successful in containing the spread of this disease, Keith was widely seen as struggling to deal with it, often sending troops into harm’s way doing what many believed robots could achieve. Speaking of robots, Keith would also launch a war against the machine-ruled city of Zero One in Basenji, fearing the sentient machines could pose a threat to the country. Keith would join the Federated Nations-sponsored World Space Patrol and help fund the Unity mission to colonize Alpha Centauri and also launch the ill-fated Jupiter 2 and Event Horizon spacecraft. Keith’s presidency unfortunately continued to empower megacorporations, allowing for the rise of the cannibalistic product Soylent Green and GeneCo to harvest organs that were not fully paid off. The Statue of Liberty would also be decapitated during a terrorist attack. In 2052, Keith would go up against the neo-Corpo Republican Paul Deutscher and be widely expected to win. However, following a recount and scandal surrounding the Federated Nations due to the revelation of it being manipulated by secret societies such as the Illuminati, Deutscher would end up being declared the winner.
96. Paul Deutscher (Republican) 2053-2057
Deutscher had been a part of the American Socialist White People’s Party during the Third American Civil War and only became accepted to the country due to his personal heroism in resisting Gilead. Deutscher still remained thoroughly committed to core fascist ideals. Deutscher would redefine the spelling of words and imprison dissidents during his presidency. He increased the power of unelected leaders he appointed over megacities. Deutscher nevertheless maintained solid relations with Europe, sponsoring their involvement in the Resource Wars. Deutscher managed to save the planet thanks to launching an expedition to prevent the sudden failure of the Sun. Deutscher also authorized the creation of the PreCrime system by the Judges, whom he also expanded the powers of. Deutscher also began planning for a future military confrontation with China, creating the SkyNet artificial intelligence system. However, Deutscher would decline to seek a second term due to ill health, which allowed for a crooked, but less evil, candidate to take the Republican Party into 2057.
97. Graveney Westwood (Republican) 2057-2061
Westwood was a largely apathetic man who ran for president largely out of vanity than genuine convictions. Westwood’s ambivalence to the struggles of working-class Americans led to him being nicknamed ‘The Beast,’ though he argued that as long as over half of America wasn’t starving or homeless he’d done his job. Westwood was at one point targeted for assassination, but saved by a collection of young spies in training. While not an outright fascist, Westwood maintained socially reactionary policies pursued by Deutscher and helped solidify the 2050’s revival of 1950’s era social norms and aesthetics. Westwood presided over the capture of the KVA leader Hades during his term and sent aid to Zheng Fa after it experienced a massive earthquake. Westwood’s term also saw tensions increase with China and Russia and saw the revival of the ONAN with all the nations of North America to prepare nationwide defenses. Despite his accomplishments, he was defeated in 2060.
98. Gary Callahan (Democrat) 2061-2062 (Impeached)
Callahan was a slick charmer nicknamed ‘The Smiler’ by the media. However, behind closed doors, he was far more corrupt, power-hungry and sociopathic than his predecessor, believing himself to be above the law. Callahan’s term saw income inequality reach new heights, with the wealthy often dwelling in literal towers while the masses were forced to live in squalor on the ground. Callahan backed the FN suppression of a revolt on Mars and supported the GDI alliance with the revived Brotherhood of Nod to destroy a resurgence of Tiberium. The government-sponsored AI known as MULTIVAC would become useless during Callahan’s term as it began to calculate a way to reverse entropy, making the country rely more on SkyNet. Callahan’s shady activities would ultimately be revealed by Spider Jerusalem and force him from office in 2062.
99. John Romero (Democrat) 2062-2065
Romero had been a filmmaker and largely was seen as a placeholder VP. Upon taking the presidency, Romero would have to contend with the alien Phantoms beginning to infest Earth, causing major social disruption. To curb this, Romero backed the formation of the organization International Rescue, sometimes also known as the Science Special Search Party. Romero also commissioned Vault-Tec to create Vaults to house US citizens in the event of a global war, though he also plotted with high-profile figures both in America and China (who formed the so-called Anglo-Sino Alliance) to get some individuals offworld due to distrusting Vault-Tec’s right-wing leadership. Romero nevertheless would be defeated in 2064.
100. Cesare Appleton (Republican) 2065-2071 (Killed in office)
A veteran, Appleton’s first act upon taking office was to blow up the White House and declare himself Emperor of America. While assuming an iron-fisted rule that had no place for elected leaders was controversial, much of the country was fed up with the results of democracy, he had the backing of the military and Judges and was fairly light-touch to begin with. However, that all changed in 2066 when the US launched Freedom Star space station was destroyed by Russians. Despite Federated Nations attempts to broker a deal, Appleton would align with the European Federation and launch a war against Russia and China. Tensions had been rising for years, especially with the advent of the Optimum movement in China that also led to Britain breaking away from Europe and America. The war would see the US invest in developing new technology such as power armor and phasers and caused Australia to collapse into warlordism. To distract from wartime rationing, Appleton channeled Rome by having ‘Naturals’ compete with various engineered mutants in a battle royale. Appleton enjoyed widespread popular support, but would end up dying of a stroke in 2071, shortly after liberating Britain from its Optimum dictator Philip Green.
101. James Dale (Republican) 2071-2076 (Killed in office)
Dale was a mild-mannered, inoffensive career politician whom had been selected due to not being seen as a potential challenger of Appleton’s rule. Dale continued to prosecute the war effort against China and began gaining ground against Russia and China. Additionally, Dale was president when the Tri-Optimum Citadel space station was wiped out, weakening a major neutral power. He sent naval forces to occupy Huffman Island alongside its allies after a conflict in the region and began fighting against rogue war machines known as the Gears that were emerging from Zero One, supporting the formation of Overwatch afterwards to deal with the problem. The US moonbase was also damaged following a failed test of the Tandem Mirror Drive in 2075, an incident which ultimately provoked the next year’s Lunar Revolution. However, Dale would not live to see this revolution occur, as in 2076 he would perish along with many other political leaders in the US and Europe during an invasion by the ‘bigbrain’ Martians that had evolved from mutated Barsoomians and sought revenge for the invasion of the 20th century.
102. Taffy Dale (Independent) 2076-2077
The president’s daughter, Dale assumed the presidency amidst a major crisis for the country. While the bigbrains were defeated, the Lunar Revolution greatly slowed down the country’s rebuilding effort. The US Supreme Court, the only branch of government to survive the bigbrain invasion, was taken hostage by a terrorist using a cold fusion device capable of destroying the Eastern Seaboard, though this outcome was avoided. Dale controversially cracked down on protestors in Canada, Opium and Aztlan (formerly Mexico), which even many Americans felt was disproportionate. Dale would ultimately not be allowed to pursue reelection, despite China coming to the negotiation table during her term. Instead, vote hacking efforts led to the triumph of a president who would usher in catastrophe.
103. Robert L. Booth (Republican) 2077 (Removed from office)
Booth was a radical who served as a regional administrator over one of the 13 commonwealths created under Deutscher. Booth ran on a platform demanding unreasonable peace terms from China and Russia and even concessions from the allied European countries and some neutral powers. It is unclear how serious Booth was to begin with, but close to the deadline he imposed for acceptance of his terms, Tokyo in the neutral nation of Japan was destroyed by the godlike Akira. Both sides in the Great War blamed each other and ultimately SkyNet convinced Booth to launch a preemptive strike. Booth’s decision would spark a worldwide nuclear war that devastated the planet, ushering in the Cursed Earth period. In the immediate aftermath, as millions died, Antarctica’s ice caps melted due to the impact of an ‘angel,’ and the Judges seized control of the remnants of the megacities, Booth fled to a secret bunker and was arrested and sentenced to cryosleep for his crimes.
104. Hugo Allen Winkler (Republican) 2077-2081
Winkler assumed the presidency as the US faced its greatest crisis in history. SkyNet overtook much of the West Coast with a robot army, forcing those humans it did not outright exterminate into simulations of past times. SkyNet additionally unleashed a modified Trioxin strain on the South, causing all who died in the Great War to rise and feed upon the living. The presence of ley lines released extradimensional and cross-temporal threats onto the world, furthering the devastation. Various warlord states cropped up across the nation, such as PanAm, the New California Republic and many more. Winkler largely only maintained authority over Mega-City One and had to push out hordes of low-bloodline vampires and sentient apes to solidify his hold over New England. Winkler was largely a public face for rule by Judges and was seen as an empty suit by many under his rule. However, he over time became more charismatic, possibly due to being replaced by a robot. However, Winkler would lose in 2080.
105. Jim Briskin (Democrat) 2081-2088 (Overthrown)
Briskin ran as the first African-American president since Shaw and was the first one elected since Palmer. During Briskin’s term, recovery along the East Coast picked up significantly thanks to aid from Japan, which following the defeat of God-Emperor Raoh and several other petty warlords had managed to restore social order and created the nanotechnology dubbed the Japanese Miracle, which it sold to Briskin to clear away fallout from various exclusion zones. In return, Briskin provided assistance to the Japan-based SEELE organization in combatting the deadly ‘Angels’ that emerged following the Great War. Briskin also provided covert support to resistance movements in Norsefire-ruled Britain, though this ultimately backfired when the government’s collapse caused Britain to be overrun by genetically engineered predators. His term also saw the Laplace Incident destroy the Edenist habitat of the same name and Martian rebels overthrow the Federated Nations-backed ruling authority descended from the Kwan Do family. Briskin engaged in a standoff with PanAm over establishment of a series of genetic experiments in the Midwest designed to counter radiation, which led to his administration supporting the First Rebellion that led to the secession of PanAm’s District 13. During Briskin’s term, a pair of aliens would visit Earth offering technology for interstellar travel in return for aid against a corrupt monarch. Briskin declined the direct offer, but the blueprints they provided ultimately paved the way for Zefram Cochrane’s experiments. Briskin would become interested in interdimensional travel after a rift opened to a seemingly empty parallel Earth. His administration helped form Crosstime Traffic to acquire resources from other timelines. However, problems ensued when a temporal rift led to the ‘virgin Earth’ advancing a century and then invading the main timeline and some attempts at colonizing other worlds led to contact with timelines dominated by Nazi Germany or alien lifeforms. Briskin’s war with interdimensional forces ultimately led to a military coup against his government.
106. Andrew Harrison (Independent) 2088-2099 (Overthrown)
Harrison was a general whose administration set up a military-dominated police state where the powers of the Judges drastically increased and the right to vote was limited to veterans. During Harrison’s reign as president, Huffman Island was reoccupied by American forces and the Marduk invaded the Solar System. Harrison’s term saw the geopolitical situation stabilize across North America as territorial control was more firmly established. He re-exerted total control of the Eastern Seaboard by his government. Harrison’s presidency also saw him forge close alliances with megacorporations such as Weyland-Yutani and Alchemax, in many ways making Mega-City One evoke the worst excesses of the 2020’s. Ultimately, however, Harrison would as a result find himself ousted, though he maintains the status of longest-serving president even to this day.
107. Victor Von Osud (Independent) 2099 (Overthrown)
Von Osud had been the infamous dictator of Latveria, a rival to the Fantastic Four and an enemy of the United States in the 20th century before he mysteriously disappeared in the 1990’s. As it turned out, he had been temporally shifted to America in 2099, amidst numerous ongoing crises and inequality. Von Osud would end up launching an uprising against the corporations and government dominating the country and many would come to regard him as a lesser evil. Von Osud ultimately pushed out Harrison and declared himself president. During his term, mass flooding occurred in what had once been Metropolis, making the former city in essence an archipelago. While proclaiming himself to now be a man of the people, Von Osud soon turned to his old authoritarian ways and found himself on the receiving end of another uprising, spearheaded by the frozen superhero Captain America.
108. Steve Rogers (Independent) 2099-2101
Rogers was a paragon of American values and had been a participant in the Second World War and numerous early 21st century conflicts against supervillains and alien invaders. When he was unfrozen for the second time in his lengthy life, Rogers once again found himself fighting tyranny and helped overthrow Von Osud, restoring democracy to America. Rogers clashed with the authoritarian impulses of the Judges and remnant allies of Harrison, seeking to restore freedoms. However, he was stymied in this effort by the Formic invasion of 2100, which led to many viewing militarism as necessary. Moreover, the massive alien incursion (while largely the result of misunderstanding of humans on the Formics’ end) led to many regarding it as best to discard older national identities and join with the rest of the world. While Rogers was no chest-thumping nationalist, he was seen as an outdated symbol of American separation from the world at large and thus lost his reelection bid.
109. Jenny Templeton (Unity) 2101 (Folded US into unified Earth government)
Templeton was the last president of a body recognized as the United States or a legitimate successor thereof. Her first and only act as president was to subsume the country into the new Terran Federation. This government would retain many trappings of the old American government even after integrating into wider blocs such as the United Federation of Planets and the Citadel Alliance and evolve over the centuries into the United Earth Alliance and the World State among other governments. However, with Templeton’s signature, the United States as such would never exist again.

+Died in office
1. First president to be reelected to a second term after the constitution was amended to allow presidents two six year terms.
2. Resigned after news of sex scandal became public.
Gray=Non-partisan Blue=Confederate Democratic Party (CDP) Red=Progressive Labor Party (PLP) Violet=Share Our Wealth Party (SOWP)
I have some vague recollection of reading someplace that Gray Davis was Reform Party-curious during the late Nineties, so in TTL I have him leading a faction of the Reform Party that adheres basically to California-style liberalism and never really takes off. Over time, it moves to the left and becomes more straightforwardly left-populist or democratic socialist. I probably should have picked someone more definitely affiliated with the Reform Party and further to the left to name it after, though.
Presidents of the United States 40. 1981-1987: Ronald Reagan / George H.W. Bush (Republican) 41. 1987-1987: George H.W. Bush / vacant (Republican) 42. 1987-1989: Jim Wright / Robert Michel (National Emergency Unity Government) 43. 1989-1991: Joseph R. "Joe" Biden / Richard "Dick" Gephardt (Democratic) 1988: Robert Michel / Thomas Kean ("Reform" Republican), Ross Perot / Lee Iacocca (Independent), Paul Laxalt / Jack Kemp ("Loyalist" Republican), Jesse Jackson / Patricia "Pat" Schroeder (New Democratic) 44. 1991-1993: Richard "Dick" Gephardt / vacant / Dale Bumpers (Democratic) 45. 1993-1997: Ross Perot / Lee Iacocca (Reform) 1992: Richard "Dick" Gephardt / Dale Bumpers (Democratic), Paul Laxalt / Jack Kemp (Republican), Thomas Kean / William "Bill" Weld (Progressive Republican), Jesse Jackson / Patricia "Pat" Schroeder (Social Democratic) 46. 1997-1999: William "Bill" Weld / George Pataki (Progressive Republican) 1996: Ross Perot / Lee Iacocca (Reform), Dale Bumpers / Paul Tsongas (Democratic), Lamar Alexander / Jon Kyl (Republican), Jesse Jackson / Patricia "Pat" Schroeder (Social Democratic)
----- 42. Wright and Michel formed a National Unity government after the Iran-Contra scandal destroyed both President Reagan and Vice President (later President) George H.W. Bush. The Emergency Government was wracked with scandal, and Wright himself was forced from power after becoming targeted by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly giving his wife a job and perks to avoid limits on gifts, and earning speaking fees in excess of the allowed maximum. 43. Focused instead on campaigning, Biden didn't notice the slow build-up. By the time he was elected in 1988, it was a matter of when. In January 1991, Biden was struck down by an intercranial berry aneurysm. 44. Gephardt struggled to right the ship, but with a faltering economy and the shattered morale of the American people who had gone through four presidents in as many years (Reagan, H.W. Bush, Wright, and now Biden), his chances of re-election were slim. A recession that started in 1991 didn't help matters and, as many historians believe, helped contribute to his defeat. 45. By the skin of his teeth, Ross Perot managed to win the 1992 presidential election. But with a floundering economy, low morale, and a long-lasting recession until 1994, Perot's chances of re-election were not very high. The lack of legislative and executive experience for both President Perot and Vice President Iacocca helped drive matters as voters felt they did not reflect their views. 46. The Progressive Republicans, the moderate-right breakaway faction of Republicans founded by Robert Michel in the aftermath of the Iran-Contra scandal, finally won the United States presidency. But it wouldn't matter. A second recession that started in 1997, growing dissatisfaction among voters and members of Congress, and the degradation of America's standing in the world...
On Thursday, 30 September 1999, the first ordinances of secession were issued. By Friday, 31 December 1999, the United States was no more.

I mean, yeah, that’s a pretty good gag, but @Newne76 basically does the same four or five shitpost lists over and over, and while this one is better than most, it’s still pretty dull at this point.

I agree, I tend to do the same concept over and over again, like with my past lists it's been a cliche of me having multiple governments for the united states with the stability of a war torn country. I'll admit myself that I'm getting a bit tired of the same general concept with a few minute tweaks that I've seen to repeat over and over again. Maybe I could spread out to presidents of other countries or with "X foreign leader now randomly becoming the president of USA" old shtick. I mean it was fun at first, then it was tolerable, then they morphed into shitposts.
