They might do the cliche and easy thing and make it THE SOUTH SHALL RISE AGAIN.

Awesome. I hope they make the Spanish civil war a little more flavorful!
And give the three factions their own unique focus trees.Awesome. I hope they make the Spanish civil war a little more flavorful!
Maybe but I don't remember that really being a central theme of the AUS. They don't actually want to be "the South". They want to be America.

Exactly. I wasn't advocating for it. But so many people shoehorn them as "Neo-Confederates" and such, so I very well can imagine something like that happening even if it is thematically correct.
I can possibly imagine that being a chant used by Pelley and his followers.
Pelley was born in Massachusetts. He's no Southern Neo-Confederate either.
Then perhaps this chant would only be used by his followers? Considering how horribly racist Pelley is, I imagine that quite a few of his followers must be Neo-Confederates.
Doubtful. Pelley's goal is not to rebirth the Confederate States of America. Pelley's goal is to rule over a pure Christian Commonwealth of America. Consider the terminology. Commonwealth. Not Confederacy. Not Federation. But Commonwealth. I believe this suggests a unitary government which is the complete opposite of a confederacy. No. Pelley leads a faction of occult Christian Zealots, not Neo-Confederate insurgents.
You're making the mistake that all white supremacists would be friendly with each other, which is as erroneous as assuming that all communists would get along. Pelley is a white supremacist, but his preference for unitary government and his Yankee origins make him toxic to neo-Confederates.
Also, it's great that KR strays away from easy tropes like a reborn Confederacy, a reborn Texan Republic, Deseret, etc.
I've seen different AUS rework proposals, none of which I'm 100% onboard with, but I think ultimately the AUS should be more of a South + parts of the Midwest faction, it shouldn't be thought of exclusively southern. I'm glad that currently Texas is solid Federalist to prevent the AUS from being a new Confederacy.

I haven't been playing much lately, but I think it's not. It's either split or goes with the AUS, AFAIK.
It's generally split between MacDaddy and Huey. Unless you play as Huey in which case the ass-backwards way the states are apportioned out now screws you over.
Oh, and the Midwest would be extremely unlikely to go to Huey when they could have Reed. The Midwest only started to track more even in vote totals once the Democrats abandoned the New Deal and evangelicals began to spread into the region and became more prominent OTL. TTL, the region will be staunchly Socialist.
I would partly argue against; from the events it appears Farmer-Labor and the Progressives have some hold in the Midwest. If the Coalition does not form or collapses, the Midwest drifts further into the Socialist camp (partly because Farmer-Labor drifts towards the Socialist camp), but if the Coalition holds, that does not happen (according to the events' description; obviously the anti-player apportionment makes things different if the USA under Olson is player-run). Of course, if the Midwest goes Olson (native son for Minnesota and that) they still don't go Huey.
The anti-player apportionment is literally the WORST part of USA rework version 2. It is fucking annoying and I hate its guts.
Umm... no. The Midwest is (and since the very being always has been) an agrarian populist region. I submit my own state of Kansas as a perfect example. Before the Democrats and Republicans swallowed up the party, Kansans came out in droves to vote for the Populist Party. Any party perceived as an "Urban Party" such as the SPA and other labor parties has never done well in the Midwest. The Rustbelt and industrial sectors around the Great Lakes is where Reed finds his base, not the rural Midwest. The Midwest falls to whoever presents himself as more of a man of the people, and like it or not, Louisiana Small-town boy Huey Long is more likely to be that populist man of the people than "Limousine Socialist" John Jack Reed. Now on the other hand, if we were to put forward say... Big Bill Haywood as the Socialist candidate, well that's a whole different race altogether.
As for this, I just use the mod that gets rid of the antiplayer element.
