And thus, in this timeline, the phrase "That man is a real Dick" takes on a different meaning.
Heheh. Yeah, I guess it does.

Is Japanese American internment worse here, or is it mostly OTL? What happens to them after the war?
The Pacific War is a lot less drastic, as you can see; America vs. Japan and puppets, but it is rather worse than OTL. And Rockwell...
So, no WW2 as we know it and the Pacific War was the US vs Japan alone, starting around 44 till 46 (approx).
For starter no Tizard Mission or base for destroyer accord as the Anglo-French will not be so desperate and relations with this USA will not be so good.
This mean that in general the US will have much less glamurous toys and capacity of power projections and naturally the A-Bomb will be more a Commowealth project (with French support) than an american affair; even because a lot of scientist know in the US will probably soon find the general atmosphere a little too...oppressive.
And without the Big Bomb...well Japan will be an hard nut to crack.
The initial performance of the US armed forces will not be stellar, if there is no reform and funding the army will be little, ill-trained and ill-equipped, with officer too old to effectively lead in a modern warfare enviroement.
I'm starting to get A World of Laughter, a World of Tears vibes from the TL.
Please continue and show us some more Nixon.

That does raise the question: How is good ol' Walt doing?
All very astute. The main advantage the US has over Japan, one on one, is the great populace of the States, who could easily overcome an archipelago.
He's just fine in Social Populist middle America. I'll write some more about his movies, which include a 50s-era Snow Queen and biyearly Fantasia sequels.
thanks for the astute...a very Obi Wan comment
Regarding Japan...well easily is relative; ok there is the plus that Mac is not with the living, so the philippines have much more possibilties of hold.
Still the Japanese will fight to the bitter end and it will make pay to the americans every inch of territory gained.
The big problem will be how deal with the Home Island aka Operation Olympic or the Siege? Both option will make the Japanese suffer a lot.
Well, that's at least one good thing...
I wonder how Ernest Hemingway is faring in Long's America. He always did have a grudge against ancien regimes. In OTL, he was even friends with Fidel Castro.
Also, I would like to see an update on international reactions to the Long Presidency and Long's stance on important international players.
Is it? Long and Coughlin have cracked down on jazz. It's just the SAME CLASSICAL MUSIC OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
.
Really? Even Gershwin or Copland? Huh....
But Louisiana is known for Jazz and Black music.
I've tried to find anything comparable to that. All I can find seems to indicate Long was perfectly happy with jazz.
Yeah, I also couldn't find anything. In fact, when I put in "Huey Long Jazz", it brought up an unrelated singer.
