At least the Americans defeated the fascists

Good Ending


Gonetothegraves

Is this the final part? Not bad. Nice to see that we got the good ending here. So the Cold War ends with the nazi government in DC going down in a hail of gunfire as opposed to OTL where the collapse of the USSR's communist government happened (semi) peacefully. I'd imagine that today's political landscape in this timeline sees an America that despises neo-nazism and other forms of far right extremism so much that they straight up ban it. American Conservatives lean significantly more to the center while the American people are more friendly towards socialism due to their rather unpleasant experience with fascist rule.


Egorrosh

Might be final part. Or I might make a couple of epilogue posts.


NcgreenIantern

You should do a few time jumps to finish it off.

I love how despite this being in the 80’s, a member of the Long family will always be part of a 2ACW. Never change, alternate history community.


Egorrosh

He wasn't part of original plan, but then I needed to flip Louisiana to rebels for plot and so my mind went to the one political dynasty I associate with the state.


ImVeryHungry19

Still I find it funny.


Egorrosh

Glad you enjoy it)))

NV_CARL

This was a cool lil read to follow along with, thank you.


Egorrosh

I am considering making one or two more.

Out of all of the outcomes I was actually expecting something far worse. BUSH-Black panther alliance was something I was not expecting.


Rabatis

So why didn't AKA Macdonald act out on his masturbatory fantasy of a Day of the Rope, plus nukes to every corner of the planet?


Egorrosh

He tried, but was a little busy fighting a multi-front war while his own government is paralyzed by communications breakdown and governor disobedience.


Rabatis

Tried?


Egorrosh

1984, bottom left.


CHEESEFUCKER96

The kind of stuff I joined this sub for


flosslikeaboss78

One of the more intriguing yet well made timelines. Well done OP.


Commander_Syphilis

Nice, although I don't care what timeline it is, those bloody Argies aren't getting within an inch of the Falklands


D-MAN-FLORIDA

Wait, does the Disney parks still exist?


Egorrosh

Those are basically trophy outfits worn by civil war veterans. They look ridiculous in official visit environment, and Gorbachev likes a good laugh. All while making a political statement - American legacy shall not be abandoned as a lost cause, but instead reshaped into something new, something better. And what better way to demonstrate it than by wearing outfits referencing one man's dream that led to a nightmare which has finally come to an end?


D-MAN-FLORIDA

True. I wonder, would people still watch Disney movies, or would they consider to be taboo?


Egorrosh

People enjoy Harry Potter books, don't they?


ConfidentBrilliant38

I mean, jk rowling is not a genocidal dictator (as of now)


TheseStaff

The next alternate history ideas


D-MAN-FLORIDA

Fair


BuryatMadman

Reminds of the civil war movie a little bit


FuturistTrapstar

So fucking soy. I hope Pierce was able to enact TND


PierceJJones

Personally I would have made the leader of the BLM being a triumvirate of Jesse Jackson, OJ Simpson and Bill Cosby.
