I wonder what becomes of the USSR ATL.Come on guys it's an AHC.
Be imaginative
I'll take a crack:
Charlie Manson murders (which occur earlier in 1969) are never linked back to him and his group while the LAPD in and around Hollywood pin the crime on black revolutionaries they want to lock up
The resulting crack down causes an early Watts and LA riot, which then snow balls into Black Panther stoked revolts in Detroit, New York and Newark.
The National Guard is called in starts to fire upon them.
Anti-War groups and leftist anarchists join the fray as the violence spins further and further out of control.
Public officials start getting assassinated forcing the federal government to suspend habeaus corpus.
By 1975 martial law is declared and mass incarceration follows.
Hippie communes become refuges for insurrectionists and state power erodes
What's left of the US Government becomes a police state effectively collapsing the republic.
