Challenge: Just like in the UK and Australia, have the words 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' become synonyms in the USA.
Actually, its not the same in the UK. They're distinct parties.Challenge: Just like in the UK and Australia, have the words 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' become synonyms in the USA.
Neuter the Progressive movement in the Dems and GOP would be a good start to encourage the rise of Labor.Repeat what happened in the UK, have a trade union party arise, forcing them to either work together and/or have one of the factions collapse over time.

We need one where the Liberals and Conservatives are in the same party.You're going to need a stronger Labour movement besides that.
Of course there is that TL that had the rise of a Labour Party in the early Nineties...

Doesn't present day Reds have the Democrat-Republicans who are basically this? Although still pretty left-wing by OTL's European standards let alone Americas...
I like this idea very much.1. Have the Democrats collapse after the Civil War, and be replaced by the Liberal Republicans, later just the Liberals.
2. Have the OTL Bourbon Democrats be the ones in control of the Liberal Party.
3. Have the Progressives take control of the Republican Party, driving the conservatives of their party toward the Liberals. With progressives controlling the Republicans, they will never take control of the South, so the Southern Conservatives will also stay with the Liberals.
With that, the Liberal Party will be controlled by the conservatives, making the two terms synonymous in the minds of the people.
