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.

I voted other because of Nixon and his silent majority. I think a right wing coup "to restore order" is just as likely, if not more so, especially after the Great Society. Just send the Tea Party movement back a few decades, have them lose their s**t over Medicare and Medicaid (SOCIALISM!!) and boom.

I wonder what becomes of the USSR ATL.
 
Probably asb but somehow voting age is younger than otl in 1968. Somehow a competent campaign gets Dick Gregory 38% and he wins the 4 sided elections
