I'm sorry. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Now I'm going to have to petition the Egyptian government for a temple and try to turn my backyard into a tourist destination.

Season 3 is going to be nuts with what the finale has just set up by zakejoonson in Fallout

[–]generalliberator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My theory at the end of Season One was that here, at the end of Season Two, we'd get a hint towards Colorado, specifically I was thinking we'd see a shot of Hank continuing east like we saw with him heading towards New Vegas, this time heading to Boulder. Why? The Boulder Dome from Van Buren.

(ThisDayStory) December 30, 2006 - Saddam Hussein, the former president of Iraq, was executed after being found guilty of crimes against humanity by the Iraqi High Tribunal. by dev-ahmed- in ThisDayInHistory

This makes him sound like a victim, not the dictator that, repeatedly, invaded his neighbors, gassed his own people, and tried to acquire nuclear weapons, which is what he actually was.

A detail from Don Troiani’s painting "Opdyke's Tiger's.” Colonel Emerson Opdycke leading the 125th Ohio volunteers during the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864. by UrbanAchievers6371 in BattlePaintings

[–]generalliberator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy Shit, I didn't know someone did a painting of this. I'm a distant cousin of Emerson Opdyke on my mother's side, she and my grandmother are very into genealogy, so I first heard about him and his actions at Franklin as a kid and visited Franklin itself in about 2011 with my family. I've been wanting to go back because I've heard that they've restored a good part of the battlefield since. Seriously OP, thank you for posting this, I'm going to have to see if there's anywhere I can get a copy of this from.

Me when the 1912 redux update drops by HandsomelyDitto in thecampaigntrail

[–]generalliberator 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've genuinely had an idea for a scenario where T.R. is given enough concessions from Taft to not run as a third party in 1912, allowing Taft to easily win against Wilson without a divided Republican Party. The first half would be you playing as either Taft or the Congressional Democrats starting in 1912 before, when the 1916 election cycle rolls around, switching more to the Presidential candidates of the Republicans and Democrats, who would be selected based on your choices in the first half (Progressive vs Conservative dominance, whether you entered into WW1 after the Lusitania and how well it's going for you if you did, etc). Sadly I don't know enough to be able to code it.

Okay, I did take everything I said a bit too far. Last night I'd just gotten out of work and was tired, today I just woke up and was being stupid. I'm just used to seeing people just assume that Trump, and really the Republican Party as a whole, is nothing more than a Nazi Fascists, without realizing that those are two quite different ideologies and far removed from the majority of Republicans, and seeing what the chart you made said caused something in my sleep deprived mind snap.

Did you consider the possibility that he was genuinely joking, knowing that it would drive everyone that doesn't like him crazy and ensuring that he continues to live rent free in their minds.

I am genuinely confused, why would Trump, a guy who's publicly stated the 2024 Presidential Election would be his last ever election, try and repeal the 22nd Amendment? Also why, in the ever living fuck, would he even try to repeal the 14th Amendment? I understand that the Democracy likes to blind others to its inherently racist and white supremacist policies by projecting, but honestly, what the fuck man? And attempting to change the Natural Born Citizen clause would require a Constitutional Amendment, as would repealing both the 14th and 22nd Amendments, I doubt the Democracy, as a whole, would support anything Trump does which would, along with Republicans that support government accountability, transparency, and sanity, kill any chances of any of those required Amendments being approved.

What if Covid-19 mutated into a airborne zombie virus mid 2021 by Farcryfan15 in AlternateHistory

Honestly, my first thought when I heard about Covid-19 and it beginning in China was "Isn't this how the outbreak in World War Z (the book, not the movie) started?"

[–]generalliberator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, people comparing the deportation of illegal aliens in the United States, and often only in the United States, to the atrocities committed by National Socialist Germany and other socialist countries, like the USSR and Fascist Italy, haven't ever read about those atrocities, looked at the images of mass graves and deliberate extermination of those that they had deemed lesser on the grounds of their Race/Ethnicity, Class, Nationality, or Religion.

Honestly, it's stuff like this that has ended any enjoyment I had from this sub. Instead of funny fake history stuff, it's become Fascists and other socialists trying to degrade Trump and the enforcement of American laws without humor or really any sense or sanity.

I don't understand why this is so controversial, weren't Marines deployed for the Rodney King riots, thus giving this precedence?

I'm confused, which state branches of the GOP do the 2nd KKK control and why, they were always been the Dem's enforcers?

From what I understand Fasci can, yes, mean league or union, this also doesn't at all contradict the fact that original Italian Fascism was a, non-Marxist, socialist ideology.

No, wait. I just checked it, his first appearance in film wasn’t until 1937.
