He died in September '96 IOTL and it was never hinted that he lived any longer in the timeline. There was a fan-made "ending" to it that had Nixon get elected unopposed in 1992 with Agnew as his VP again in fear that he would lose a challenge to him and then Agnew loses re-election after Nixon's death. I just moved up his death date a couple years. Could move it up to Sept. 2009 since the furthest we've seen in that timeline was a 20-year remembrance ceremony in June 2009. I mean his wife did outlive him by a while, dying in 2012 at 91 years old.

Drop everything and start reading it now. Rumsfeldia has excesses but FLaG is the best timeline I’ve ever read.
Looks pretty good to me. I remember reading a timeline where the Tunguska Event occurred in London on June 30, 1908 destroying the city and most of parliament and leading to the early ascension of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister of the Labour Party at 34 years old.
I'm not familiar with Tunguska but if London was mostly wiped out with Parliament I'd imagine there'd be a descent into anarchy. I may post some more in this series, however I'll try to keep them grounded as possible
I wonder how this happened. A very novel use of the H-man
Possible timeline when I'm done with Camelot Is Just A Fantasy?

Interesting. Why did FDR go back to his former VP for the Veep slot in '44?
Sir Adolph had a point of departure from our time line of while he was living in Manchester and was working as a waiter. He hung around some German/Yiddish speaking "Bohemian" artists, and one got into bed with him/he got into bed with her. Eventually, she got knocked up. Her family actually accepted him and they more or less made it . She was a UK citizen, which made him a UK citizen by marriage. So he worked in the restaurant and painted and actually learned how to paint people and she also worked in the bar. Then World War I started, and he was drafted. The Army didn't trust him to fight against Germany, but someone noticed that he was very persuasive to other Germans. So they stuck him in recruiting among the German and Jewish immigrant communities of England. As a result, his mental health and people skills were actually better after WW 1 than before.
While he was fairly happy in England, he still had ambitions of grandeur. After the War, he got into politics and as they say worked his way up from there. He despised the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic religion, but had nothing against the religion of his wife's family. Therefore, he spoke as a Christian against anti-Semitism, persecution of immigrants and oppression of the poor. In a poor, immigrant area, he actually became politically well known in the 1920's. The rest, as they say, is alt-history.
I hadn't thought of that yet but perhaps FDR gets desperate for a Southerner to replace Wallace that he offers Garner who accepts. That might not make a whole lot of sense but hey it's mostly just a thought experiment for now.
More to follow today
Edit: This will continue up to 2025, at what point does it go into the current politicians thread? @LAHistorian15

33 at time and not Labour- to get technical. I think that Britain would have held together better.
Oh right, his birthday is in November so he'd be 33 in June 1908. And I got the Labour and Liberal Parties of Great Britain confused. I also think the UK would've held together and it would certainly be cool to see all the new architecture in the rebuilding of the UK's capitol, London. There are trends all throughout history of entire city's being destroyed by fire or wiped out from disease and leading to better living conditions after rebuilding.

George Stanley McGovern (D-SD)

United States Senator from South Dakota (1963-1977)
Vice-President of the United States (1977-1981)

McGovern doesn't run in 1972 and instead is pegged as Carter's running mate in 1976. Once he loses in 1980, McGovern waits until Reagan's term is over and then runs himself
Not intended to be entirely realistic, just been on a McGovern kick lately lol
