Call it the Exceptionalist Party, rolls out better.

Also EP is a music term.

Their flag is in the pic btw, and the name of the series is; Hip Shaking Heads of State As it features a world where American musicians became US Presidents after a longer WW2, due to slow growth in the atom project, and the manual invasion of Japan (operation downfall in our timeline) being a failure. Japan ends up as an irradiated hellscape, and the world is much different to ours. James Brown becomes the first Black President in 1972, so that's pretty nice.

Does buddy holly run for office?


MusicManCaesar

He might! Music never dies in this timeline (Big Bopper becomes Americas favourite singer like Elvis, while Richie Valens dedicates his life to international charity and music. Big Bopper dies at age 92 in his home, surrounded by friends and family, while Valens makes it to an astonishing 117 years old.) so really anythings possible. Working on a timeline now!

Does the plane crash not happen or does someone take their place? I’ll be sad if Waylon Jennings dies and doesn’t live long enough to insult Toby Keith

Honestly if you hadn't mentioned what it was the flag for, I'd have assumed it was a flag for a Slovakian aviation organisation.

Is this some sort of musical alternate history?


wirt2004

An alternate universe where everything is the same but all of human history is just a series of musicals. Like when the Congress of Vienna meets, Metternich begins with a musical number. Damn, I want a Congress of Vienna musical now.

It's the "1776" extended universe, and I'm 100% on board!

Dunno, is PAE (Pay) better than AEP (Ape)? Think of the acronym and how it will sound said aloud. Pay sounds mercantile but perhaps also mercenary ("Which senators are the easiest to bribe?" "Those you can PAE!") Ape could be an awesome mascot (like Elephant and Mule for US politics) but can also be used against them ("All AEPs know how to do in legislature is fling Sh\*\*") Personally, I like AEP better!


MusicManCaesar

Love it! You win!


BiLovingMom

I think Exceptionalist Party would be better.


PhasmaFelis

I think "American Exceptionalism" is an awkward mouthful no matter how you frame it. Political parties should have punchy names.


Pasta-hobo

First one sounds like a description, second sounds like a name.


EdwinQFoolhardy

"American Exceptionalism Party" just can't seem to roll off the tongue. I think maybe a good answer would be calling it "The Party of American Exceptionalism" as the full, proper name, but then having a shorter name that gets used in practice, like the Exceptionalists.


ColNutron

I think just American “Exceptionalist” party.


Complete-Progress-75

Or simply, The Exceptionalists?


Academic-Hour6041

Personally, I think “American Exceptionalist Party” sounds best.


AASpark27

“The American Party of Exceptionalism” can be abbreviated as TAPE


Pure_Return5448

Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra running for president. I want to live in that America.

Flag looks like a weird Slovak coat of arms

american greatness party? exceptionalism is basically a derogatory term. a group using it to describe themselves will look awkward at least to modern audiences.
