This story so far is incredibly well-written and unique, I look forward to seeing it's future!

Also it's interesting that the Populists are basically usurping the Democrats role as opposition to the Republicans. It kind of reminds me of how Labour usurped the Liberals as the main competitor to the Tories in Britain.

Another option for a bloodier war would be no Teller Amendment and the US attempts to keep Cuba which devolves into a bloody struggle for Independence. Not sure how possible that is though, it didn't really have too much trouble passing OTL and I don't think the Populists would be supportive of annexation of Cuba.

Yeah but that is a good sample how the rest of nation feel of their northern bully, even emiliano and villa were mexican nationalist first, they would hold away any effort of the USA to shallow their nation

Amazing story. The Democratic campaign was so sad it circled around to hilarious. I was kind of hoping the Bryan would win, but alas, the revolution is not destined until later

He's right. Zapata and Villa would welcome a socialist USA, but would never let Mexico be conquered by it. The US helping them to create a "Socialist Brother" in the south is more likely, and better story-wise

I think we'll see a whole bunch of "fraternal republics". In addition to Mexico, and depending on the outcome of the Spanish-American War, I could see Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Liberia, and the Philippines.

If that's the case, I could also see the US spinning up an organization of American leftist nations.

Trolling.

Not really. I really don't see how Glory2Cabinda is trolling. "So when do they eat the rich?" really doesn't seem disingenuous or mean, he's just engaging with the plot and excited to see the US move into Socialism, or at least that's how I see it. I apologize if there's something I missed, like a particular bit of nuance.

Where Villa and Zapata leftist I know very little about them though but from what I heard they seemed to be run of the mill populists
