Later: 1944 - FDR keeps Henry Wallace on the ticket. Wallace does well eliminating Facism, but he's not as hard on Communism and actually appoints closet-Communists (and Soviet spies) to cabinet positions. This spells doom for the Democrats in 1948. Dewey is easily elected and America falls under the spell of Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy runs in 1952, is elected out of fear of the Communists and doesn't relinquish power til his assassination by Vice President Richard Nixon. (complicated murder plot, Nixon then becomes dictator until 1974. Again, more complications.)
