What are you saying/asking here? This?With a 1917 POD under either Democratic or Republican rule.
What are you saying/asking here? This?
A far worse Great Depression leads to the GOP being permanently discredited and FDR managing to get some of his more authoritarian measures (I'm looking at you, court-packing) passed?
Nice! I like this already.Continental Europe goes Communist in the 1917-1923 revolutionary wave, President Henry Ford sweeps in to save western civilization from "Judeo-Bolshevism". I'm working on this story right now.
Idk man trying to pack the Supreme Court and incarcerating an entire ethnic group in concentration camps seems pretty not democratic to me.Except FDR isn't a dictator nor will he be one the US has the advantage of a century of Democratic governance and tradition will Russian democracy had exactly squat

Putin isn't a dictator either. He just has a government that follows him. FDR would have had every branch obeying him practically totally. That's a managed democracy.Does Nixon at Watergate does Bush and the Patriot Act seem very democratic to you does Wilson who more or less passed legislation that made America into something like a police state in WW1 does Lincoln suspending habeas corpus seem very democratic? War is war and we always do un-democratic things in a war so please find me some evidence that proves FDR would overturn congress and declare himself dictator Bush wasn't a dictator neither was Nixon nor Wilson nor Lincoln find a better argument.

The US has never been afraid to crush dissidents. Look at the Black Panthers.Putin has served as prime minister or president of the Russian Federation since 2000 and actively suppresses dissidents and journalists FDR wouldn't have every branch obeying him totally because there is an actually opposing party that can do shit the GOP FDR would eventually be voted out the Republicans would eventually take control FDR would never have the level of control Putin would have.

Well, the scenario presupposes the GOP got permanently discredited by an even worse Great Depression (perhaps Andrew Mellon became President)Putin has served as prime minister or president of the Russian Federation since 2000 and actively suppresses dissidents and journalists FDR wouldn't have every branch obeying him totally because there is an actually opposing party that can do shit the GOP FDR would eventually be voted out the Republicans would eventually take control FDR would never have the level of control Putin would have.
A system in which the people vote one way, but the small group which actually gets to decide who becomes president votes another way?With a 1917 POD under either Democratic or Republican rule.
Where would a "Red Scare" fall into this and fully national Jim Crow fall?Would it be close enough to have Hughes win the Presidency in November 1916? Because then his Party would get the blame for the peace being a complete mess, allowing for President Alexander Mitchell Palmer in 1920, who'd continue and expand upon the authoritarian WW1 war measures with the assistance of J. Edgar Hoover.
