Could have gone with Optimates for "Trump" and Populares for "Obama" instead, just to be authentic.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!
Inspired by Danderns' American Neil Kinnock, here's Kinnock from my in-development Socialist UK timeline.
The Enclave movement was really only significant in the 20s and early 30s, and was essentially dead by the 40s. While the movement organizers were able to set up dozens of towns in Idaho, Montana and North Dakota, namely due to the intense fears inspired by the Second War on Terror, the leadership fell apart in the late 30s. The places still exist, and it's pretty easy to tell if you're driving into an old Enclave. Street names like "Lee" and "Trump" or "Beford" and "Rockwell." Worn and aging Confederate, KKK or Nazi insignias. Plenty of old and collapsed homes that were put together by amateurs. Lots of intense poverty, due to the isolation and artificial nature of the communities. The people who grew up in these areas don't really care about the whole white nationalism thing anymore, they aren't that much more racist than the average rural american on the whole. Most of the old art and statues and imagery are just a cultural relic at this point. The type of person who go out every other November to vote for Rodarte doesn't really take his ravings seriously, but they know he's one of them and they know voting for him is just what's done around here.
As for other white nationalists, you have few here or there. Not a lot of neo-pagan inspired stuff, as that part of the movement lost popularity in face of the "rationalist, militant atheist" alt-right sphere.
As for the signature, I wasn't able to do it myself, as I'm at the folks and don't have access to a scanner. Rather, I used this app. It will probably last a couple of characters, but I do plan to start making them myself, in order for them all to be unique from one another.

Here's another infobox in my "Strasserist East Germany" series.
Why the Korean and Japanese?
REMARKABLY DEEP IN FACT
Jennifer Winters was a popular actress, in both television and film roles.According to her biography, she overcame a difficult home life and a learning disability to gain admission to the prestigious UL Vandenberg, and then a long skid into depression and a struggle with addiction after her academic career collapsed, a casualty of the social unrest in Libria in the early 1990s. She credits her new found religious faith for helping her turn her life around, and her husband for helping with completing her degree, raising a family, and introducing her to many of his friends in West Coast entertainment.
She had a number of small roles before being cast as the recurring character of Nurse Kellerman on Mercy's Hospital, which granted her a national audience and opened up her career. She was seen as a relatively versatile actress, competently handling both serious and comedic roles. She was also remarkably able as a character actor, winning the Shimerman Drama Award for her performance as Marybelle in the 2004 remake of the classic gangster film Button Man.
She was the co-host of the reasonably popular daytime talk show Lately, which usually discusses current events with a focus on women's issues, generally from a 'soft feminist' perspective, as well as celebrity interviews and segments often relating to motherhood and parenting.
Backwards in High Heels, more commonly known by the shortened form High Heels is a highly controversial tapcast that ran weekly from 2009 to 2015. Hosted by the enigmatic Sam Summers, the show was sponsored by the Lone Star Media Project, a civil advocacy program concerned with the problems of gender relations, especially in the Western and Southwestern United States. Drawing from the symbolism of the title (from a quote about a famous dancer's female partner, who 'did everything he did, but backwards and in high heels'), Summers addressed issues from a 'gender realist' perspective, highlighting the important and unique roles of women in modern society, and trying to provide guidance to those seeking their proper place in life. Mainstream feminist groups, like the National Organization for the Advancement of Women, have condemned the program as reactionary and bigoted, but it still enjoyed as many as 50,000 downloads a week at its peak.
If I'm understanding what you're trying to imply here, that's one heck of a double life

Hmm, that seems like such an obvious one but I don't recall it having been done before, so nice work.
Was there ever a TL where Rudolf survived?
I forgot the name, but I believe there was one.

I have discovered a number of errors with it though, such as him still dying in Sarajevo... they shall be fixed.
(Quit tipping my hand to the crowd before I'm ready, dammit! I've got like nine boxes to make before that one's good to go and you know that, because you're the one in charge of making sure they describe things that aren't terrible!)
This plus a million.
Kinnock and Biden are basically identical. Both were born into hard-scrabble backgrounds, although middle-class in their teens, went into left-wing politics, achieved great success in the legislature but made minimal impact at executive level. The areas where they were born and brought up were rainlashed coalmining&ironworking areas, primarily white working class, with an extraordinarily hard-bastard culture, a distinctive accent, with verdant grassland and deciduous trees cheek-by-jowl with coalmines, ironworks and railways that by the standards of today were off-the-chart life-threatening polluting.
Here's some examples:
- Out of the Furnace trailer (Pennsylvania): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PloUyDnnFY
- Miner's strike (South Wales Valleys): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPXq1ekhtVg
Here's some pictures:
- The plant in the former trailer was the disused Carrie Furnace near Rankin, Penn. See here for images.
- The plant in the latter YouTube clip is the demolished Phurnacite plant in the Cynon Valley. See here for images.
The places are damn-nearly identical.
Having an alt-Kinnock based in California (multicultural, sunny, wide spaces, whitecollar workers) is exactly wrong
I'm trying!
(No writeup at this time because like I said there's like nine things between here and there that have to be done; you'll see this one again in the fullness of time- but if you want to know more between now and then, ask Georgepatton.
