What happens to the east coast? There’s similar sensibilities as the west coast but no Rocky Mountains separating them from fallout and madness and death.
Thinking about it I kinda like the idea of the cabal being smashed with relatively little “collateral damage” and all the financial prospects working out. Because then you have an objectively kinder, more peaceful, more equitable, not racist world...at the cost of an entire content and millions...
I really do love the added bits and context; they help flesh out this world. Please do so!
I’ve been thinking about the “nanny” question in regards to this timeline for a while. I’ve got a surprisingly pragmatic and interventionalist streak for someone as liberal as I am, and I’ve become...
Critical Role?! Im a huge fan and I’ve been thinking about that show in this world!
Also everyone on the show really is an incredibly kind and empathetic person.

I’m with everyone else—you wrote a gripping and chilling tale. And then there’s the philosophical question afterwards about peace at the end of a sword. I feel, personally, that if I lived in this timeline I would agree with then A4. This world war 2 was so horrible that it basically proved that...
I’ve been thinking about it, and I don’t think the east and west would even want to rejoin the United States. The middle of the country and the south has screwed then and oppressed them and finally destroyed themselves? And now they have the gall to ask to reunite? No. Let them rot.
I think...
Maybe Israel will be the one to squeak out of a massive violent civil war like South Africa did iotl. An influx of furious Jewish refugees might be enough on top off all of this to turn the tide. And truth be told there is a ton of religious precedence for a truth and reconciliation committee...
