With the last, wouldn't this, in the long term, cause said conservatives to face collapsing support in regards to foreign policy? Especially since, unlike with Pinochet, where one could, with many problems, perhaps make the argument he improved the country's economy, I don't see any particular...

You're probably right. Spiderman might actually benefit a lot from this change, because some of the... less than good stories we saw him from him in OTL might be averted entirely here. Magneto might indeed become insanely popular, especially as yet another angle here is that the UIS being...

One thing I want to ask: Do you think D.C. could have done that idealism without it being campy? As I think people will get really tired of campy stuff from elsewhere, especially as it could start getting undertones in some instances that could get uncomfortable. If they can do that, we...

Oh, I know, disturbingly enough with Stalin for example. Just... this TL is going to have it be a lot worse than OTL with this.:(

Very definitely, all things considered. Although, would 24 even work here? I don't see a, "tough times, tough decisions," TV show, if you will, being very popular here, as there's already enough of that crap in real life. Throw in that things like torture are going to be way more disturbing...

Oh my...:eek: Yes, quickly! And please, let this be something that more permanently works out, this TL could really use some optimism. Additionally, you could actually use it for irony. What almost doomed the world before is now saving it because it's preventing a long term ecological...

Especially since this TL could REALLY use some long term optimism of some type. Otherwise... lets just say I wouldn't be surprised if this TL eventually did end in an apocalypse of some type.:eek::(

Hmm. That actually works pretty well, although I seriously hope he avoids screwing up as often as Churchill did, as I'm not sure the TL could take it.:eek:

Not only have you doomed international politics, caused numerous atrocities, and massive economic collapse, but... you've possibly doomed human civilization in the long run from ecological problems.:( Just... damn. We need to create a prize named after this TL for impressive dystopias, seeing...

Increase drilling where? Alaska and National Parks? Also though, that's begging for an oil spill incident for you to take advantage of.:p More seriously, what happened to Nuclear Capitalism?:( But finally, I really do think it'd be interesting to have some kind of... epilogue post, where...
