AHC: Spain 1930s - US 2008

I have recognized some similarities between the Events leading up to Fascist Spain, and the Events leading up to Obama's Presidency.

Your challenge, should you accept it, is to have something along the lines of the Spanish Civil War to occur in America over Obama's election.

You'd need a more conservative (and I mean REALLY conservative) element of the military. Basically you'd need the Oathkeepers, only a hundred times more radical (to go beyond just pledging to disobey an illegal order like the OTL OK's do). It's ASB unless you go back at least a century to change things.

You'd also need a Tea Party with way more power than OTL, and willing to actually use violence to achieve their goals instead of elections.

Let's put it this way - the last time democracy came anywhere close to total subversion was that failed coup in the early 30's, and even that failed miserably.
