  1. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Thank you much for that, I will check it out.

  2. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    You are absolutely right, no I don't think he would but we have seen stranger cases of political alliances/bedfellows/secret agreements so one can never say never. Dole was a party man and if the GOP elites told him he MUST extend the olive branch then I don't know. Anyhow I was really just...

  3. WI: Zyuganov wins 1996 Presidential Elections

    "Putinism" gets an earlier start in the former USSR.

  4. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    The Old South has some beautiful culture and history to it too, and it's also the birthplace of slavery, the heart of Jim Crow and lynchings, and all sorts of horrors that didn't end (on paper) until 1968.

  5. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    (go to timestamp 7:46, but I'll quote Buchanan for you here: ) (The context here is that host Bob Schieffer is calling Pat on a memo he wrote about Rep. Pete McCloskey, a primary opponent of Nixon in 1972, in which he accused McCloskey of being funded by "big Jewish money", and apparently also...

  6. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/nazi-past-lingers-ambiguously-in-culture-of-bavarian-capital-1.2012310 It's pretty well known that Bavaria was the heart of NSDAP support and the most Nazified part of Germany and the agrarian estates of East Prussia the least. This is plain...

  7. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    It seems we're on two different pages here or that you're not grasping this AHC. You are challenging me to prove that Buchanan tried to make segregation a continued reality in our real-life. This is an alternate history challenge. Of course Buchanan couldn't try to pass segregation--he lost all...

  8. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    I think some of this was Buchanan's heritage and upbringing. Buchanan's mother was Bavarian and Bavaria was known as being the most hardline, "redneck" part of Germany, something like our own Deep South. His father was Scottish and Irish and presumably not a great fan of Great Britain and all...

  9. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Thank you for adding that. I wasn't even aware of that, but that fits in with what we already knew of Wallace--he represented the most reactionary end of the Southern political spectrum in the 1960s, but was still within the Southern Overton window of his day. While deeply troublesome, his...

  10. Could Germany reach a stalemate in the east if they were not distracted by west

    With strategic bombing of the Third Reich being stopped or mitigated, maybe. Without L-L, and a much less effective strategic bombing campaign, almost surely. Otherwise, it's one way or another a matter of time until the Russkies march on Berlin.

  11. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Hi Strategos' Risk, I don't have the time to do a proper pull-apart quoting right now so I'll just hit on what I bolded. I can attest from personal experience that both Buchanan and Keyes (more so the latter, albeit the former was more prominent overall in the American right) had some following...

  12. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Yes I rather thought so, but the affair thing was out of place with the real historical Pat which is why it stood out more, but definitely Pat would have at least wanted to do everything else,

  13. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Wallace was way before my time but from what I know of separatists like that, he may well have found some "collaborator" that served his purposes. The apartheid regime in SA appointed friendly indigenous to run their bantustans. The Nation of Islam and KKK had at least an informal alliance...

  14. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    I can believe all of that easily except for the part about Buchanan having an affair (and the Epstein thing which I assume was a joke on your end). Buchanan was an ultra-fundamentalist Catholic who vehemently opposed any kind of relations outside of wedlock. In fact didn't he oppose pretty much...

  15. AHC: Pat Buchanan Carries US "Bible Belt"

    As they damn well needed to, but unfortunately, Buchanan was a respected intellectual voice in parts of the American hard right well into the 2000s. It's really only within the past 15 years or so that philo-Zionism has been pretty firmly baked into the right wing of US politics. Prior to 1980...

  16. AHC: Pat Buchanan Carries US "Bible Belt"

    From all that I have read, learned, experienced, and my gut hunch, an average 1985 far-right Mississippian Protestant would much rather vote for a politically like-minded Catholic than a more progressive or more center-right evangelical.

  17. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Every racist hides behind "I have (black, Jewish, Asian, fill in the blank) friends." Yes I know who Ezzola Foster was and according to Wikipedia people at the time saw through the blatant tokenism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezola_Foster Segregation was gone and settled in the 1970s also...

    This TL takes place between 20 and 30 years ago, not sure how that is "current".

  19. AHC: Pat Buchanan Carries US "Bible Belt"

    Even among these, I would think that with the rise of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority which was a major driving force in electing and re-electing Reagan and ushered in the modern religious right, even the most radical, Bob Jones-type evangelicals care about your public policy platform much more...

  20. AHC: Most Odious Moves of a President Pat Buchanan?

    Good response Thisisnotausername. I have some things to do and will reply specifically later on today. In a nutshell, the reason why I fear the dystopian worst out of a Buchanan Administration is his entire career's worth of nakedly racial agitating was on full display for some 30 years...
