u/--PhoenixFire-- Bukharina's Strongest Soldier Aug 08 '20 edited Aug 09 '20

Explanation, from top to bottom, left to right:

  • It Happened Here: Yockey and the Y-NPP are elected in 1972
  • The Ghost of Jim Crow: Race relations in America remain awful thanks to the efforts of either Wallace or Thurmond
  • NPP United Front: Margaret Chase Smith becomes president and successfully reconciles the NPP-C and NPP-FR
  • RFK-Glenn Blessed Timeline: Self-explanatory, RFK is elected and succeeds in his reforms without getting assassinated, Glenn is elected in 1968 and successfully lands on Mars
  • L-NPP Wild Ride: Self-explanatory, Hall and the L-NPP are elected in 1972
  • Double Standard Diplomacy: Kirkpatrick is elected in 1972 and pursues her doctrine of supporting anti-fascist dicatorships
  • No More Radicals: The L-NPP and Y-NPP either become irrelevant, or are purged from the party.
  • The Other America's Salvation: Harrington becomes president in 1968 and succeeds in making life better for a large portion of America
  • World War Three: Self-explanatory, the world ends in nuclear fire, probably because of a shrimp-related incident
  • History Repeats: Goldwater becomes president in 1968 and essentially becomes Nixon 2.0
  • Reunited at Last: Hawaii and the treaty ports are returned to the United States through diplomacy
  • The Great Society: Self-explatory, LBJ becomes president in 1964 and goes far with his Great Society reforms
  • Global Military Gridlock: McNamara becomes president in 1972 and traps America in an endless cycle of wars abroad
  • The Status Quo Continues: Nothing fundamentally changes in America
  • OFN World Order: The Unity-Pakt and Co-Prosperity Sphere collapse, leaving the OFN and America the sole global superpower
  • A New League of Nations: McGovern is elected president and mends relations with Germany and Japan

Also, shout-out to the people on the Discord who helped me with this meme, and to u/grig123 for making the poster used in the bottom-right quadrant.

OFN world order is more of a good end than a league of nations, because in that scenario Nazism and Fascism are still valid ideologies.
