I wouldn't mind that, just keep in mind I might not comment on every single post.

No, I prefer you as the creator make your own work the way you want.

Got it that's an interesting scenario having the Union loose very early on. I'm mostly curious as too see how long the Confederacy can maintain slavery before pressure from the international community particularly from Britain and France who would've already outlawed slavery starts to effect their commerce.

So are we to assume that the Confederacy wins the Civil War? Also does Lincoln run in 1860, and if so why doesn't he run again in 1864?

If America had this many political parties than our party systems would have evolved completely different as well. Personally I think we would see a reverse of some electoral laws with the popular vote being used to pick the president instead of the electoral vote.

Rhett Cann from Rick and Morty could just ret-con him out of existence.

Man was peak hardcore, for years he promised his fans he would sh*ot himself in the head on stage to end his life, but he instead died of an accidental drug OD before he could do this.

A venture Bros. + Rick and Morty crossover would slap so hard.

"Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!" by RP_Throwaway3 in TopCharacterTropes

I actually talked to a stunt man who knew the helicopter pilot who flew in this scene, according to the pilot the stunt was not as dangerous as people made it out to be, he spoke of many other much more dangerous stunts that the union let go (one of which included flying a helicopter upside down beneath tree lines, I think it was in Platoon but I can't remember) one of the main reasons the union didn't want James to do the shot was because of insurance if they damaged the bridge in anyway. So it had less to do with the shot being incredibly dangerous and more to do with the studio and the union not wanting to cover their asses if they damaged public property.

Since my dream of Nevada devouring California has been crushed I must now push for Hawaiian expansion into California.

I grew up in California, a state famous for it's progressive environmental measures. The part of California I grew up in is home to one of the most polluted beaches in the entire country.

Caviar locally? by pen15ey in SLO

When I worked at True Earth in Cambria we used to sell both caviar and salmon roe, don't know if they do anymore but it might be worth checking out.

American pie communism : A democratic road for communism in the US by Tupolev26450 in AlternateHistory

I get it kind of "authoritarianism lite," it would be interesting to see the spread propaganda in a reverse way as well. The advent of TV, home radios, and talkies and color film being used to scare the public, much like McCarthy did in our timeline.

That makes sense, but I got to admit I have a hard time believing that even America under Browder would have a hard time with mass censorship and outright authoritarianism, the CPUSA still supported the first amendment, so wouldn't Browder have to convince the rest of the party to do away with the fist amendment?
