DBWI: No MacArthur's Coup

As we all know, General Douglas MacArthur launched a coup d'etat on March 3, 1935, which overthrew the US government and led to the creation of a Fascist regime in the United States which joined the Rome-Berlin-Nanking-Washington Axis in 1940 with said Axis crushing the Allies during the Second World War. So, how could MacArthur's coup been averted? The Great Depression being less severe? A less powerful Socialist movement in the US? Also, how would the lack of a MacArthurist America affect the Second World War?
 
And no I am not grateful for the UK allowing a handful of refugees into Britain and the dominions before the war started. They sent thousands of my people back to the fascists they were fleeing from and Hitler's tender mercies. The Canadians were more generous, but that turned out to be futile once the Yanks crossed the border.
 
not to mention the revenge of the Chinese and Americans on the japanese for their acts in china.
Unfortunately they made good on their promise that japanese would only be spoken in hell when they were finished (OTL quote)
 
We'd probably avoid the age of Imperial blobs and the Cold War. Between the Greater Sino Sphere, Eranshahr, the Greater Indian Republic, the Afrikaner Bund, the American State, the Neo Roman Empire, Grossdeutschland, the Lusotropic League, the Platine Union, the United Kingdom of the Antipodes, and what remnants of the British and French Empires that were permitted to continue, there aren't a lot of small states left.
 
It would be interesting to have an American State with civilian politicians for a change (like in many other countries and the AS prior to MacArthur's reforms in the late 40s).

Admittedly, "electing" unfit people like the cripple Roosevelt is what led to the financial distress that caused the Great Wars in the first place. Marshall MacArthur was a hero by removing the old system and replacing it with one that makes more sense. I know that's a little tough to say these days after the coup of '62, but his name has been rehabilitated by the current Marshall, and we should follow official PR guidelines on this issue.

The United States would probably still exist today.

It still does you daft fool. just because they don't control Canada anymore doesn't mean that the United States collapsed into dust. You must have been drinking the Afrikaner Kool-Aid.

The people who wrote the constitution certainly wouldn't recognize the U.S without New England and New York.
 
Had the coup been averted, there never would have been a Black Holocaust. We all remember that, right? When the southern states declared all African-Americans were afflicted by a disease that made their skin dark, that it was contagious, and that, for the safety of all whites and Asians, they were to be quarantined? But they weren't quarantined. They were exterminated. Eichmann came to the US to assist in working out logistics.

This was the prime cause of the Second American Civil War in 1964, the war that ultimately caused California, Texas, and Alaska to secede.

Here in the Republic of California, they still haven't done anything about those roaming marauders out in the San Joaquin Valley. Perhaps the new president, Steve Wozniak, will finally address the issue, because I don't wanna have wear kevlar and carry an M4 and a Javelin every time me and my family drive through. Yeah, that's what's great about California. Lax weapons laws.
 
What if Roosevelt had done what he wanted to do and send MacArthur out of the country ether as a Ambassador or maybe to command all of the Philippine forces ??

that might of got him enough time for his New Deal programs to work. New Deal Socialism works its what we used here in the New England Confederacy.
