This is from Monsieur Z about if JFK survived. To sum it up tensions between the US and USSR would rise until it is discovered that Oswald was not working with the USSR and was just trying to focus attention from them. The US withdraws from Vietnam. The Hart Cellar act is never signed and the McCarran Walter act stays in force. McCarthyism appears again. Segregation takes longer to abolish. The counterculture never takes place. And the biggest change is that the space race is increased and the US lands on the moon three years early and manages to establish a base however it not inhabited after JFK's presidency finishes yet is ready to be. The 1968 election is between Robert Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Monsieur Z does not say who he thinks wins. He does say that social conservatism is popular yet there is lot of support for the Kennedys although presidential dynasties are not popular. I am wondering what would the rest of the twentieth century and twenty first be like if either won. What you think?
