RFK Lives, and his work for the Democratic ticket allows Humphrey to narrowly defeat Nixon:
37. Hubert H. Humphrey (1969-1973), D-MN
38. Ronald Reagan (1973-1981), R-CA
39. Robert F. Kennedy (1981-1989), D-NY
40. Lloyd Bentsen (1989-1993), D-TX
41. Jack Kemp (1993-2001), R-NY
42. Rudy Giuliani (2001-2009), D-NY
43. John McCain (2009-2014), R-AZ
44. Tim Pawlenty (2014-2021), R-MN
For some clarification: Giuliani, who loved RFK and worked for his '68 campaign, remains a Democrat in this ATL. McCain succumbs to ill health in his second term.

2032 Election Results deemed invalid by Supreme Court; President Haley (R-SC), serves as Acting President from January 20, 2033 to July 4, 2033 when Vice President Tucker Carlson (R-VA) is declared the winner by order of the court. The court also invalidates the ballots cast for any candidate who received less than 10% of the vote.
2033-2035: Tucker Carlson (R-VA)/Ivanka Trump (R-NY)
2032 candidates: Tucker Carlson (R-VA)/Ivanka Trump (R-NY), Joe Kennedy III (D-MA)/Eric Garcetti (D-CA), Rand Paul (Libertarian-KY)/Mark Zuckerberg (Libertarian-CA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Green-NY)/Ilhan Omar (Green-MN)
A bio-terror attack against targets across the country leads President Carlson (R-VA) to declare a nationwide state of emergency in 2035. By act of Congress, the President is empowered to deploy National Guard units wherever he deems necessary in defense of the homeland.
2036 election is heavily contested, and allegations of voting improprieties are levied by both sides. President Carlson (R-VA) alleges mass voter fraud in Democratic controlled states, while Senator Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) decries voter suppression and intimidation by National Guard forces under his command. Following a lengthy court battle, the Supreme Court once again declares Carlson the winner. An attempted coup, believed by some to have been a false flag attack, leads Congress to outlaw any parties considered "insufficiently patriotic." This leads to the Libertarian and Green parties (among others) being illegalized outright, while many members of the Democratic Party are arrested, gutting leadership and leaving the Republican Party as the de facto national party. Shortly thereafter, the 22nd Amendment is invalidated by the Supreme Court. The People's Liberation Army, a guerrilla army composed primarily of radical Communists and leftist agitators (though loosely operating with other anti-government dissidents) is formed in response. Despite initial success in terror operations against the government, the PLA is ultimately crushed by right-wing paramilitary forces acting as the President's secret police.

2014 - present : Mary Cheney (Democratic/Conservative)
Congressionalist:
- National Republicans--social conservatism, American system, non-interventionism
- The National Republicans have existed since the 1820s and are, with the Democrats, one of the oldest two parties in America. Since the time of their constitution, they have supported congressional supremacy over presidential power and were formed to counter President Jackson’s frequent use of executive order, the veto, and impoundment to shape policy in subversion of Congress’s will. It was the leading Congressionalist party during the American Civil War and elected two presidents, Fish the Elder and Fish the Younger. Fish the Elder’s term was notable for the gradual abolition of slavery in a settlement whereby the federal government would compensate slave owners for their slaves and pay for their repatriation to Africa (most went to Liberia) and states were enticed with federal monies to expedite the process of manumission. Fish the Younger was notable for cooperating hand-in-glove with National Republican-led coalitions in Congress to pass legislation restricting American involvement abroad, simplifying the tax system and moving it towards tariffs and taxes on consumption and wealth and away from taxes on income, and introducing national high school standards. Nowadays, the National Republicans are socially conservative and appeal in large part to families, Christians, and blacks and support protectionism, infrastructure and educational investment, streamlined bureaucracy, low taxes, the free market, and business-government-church synchronization.
- TQs (Tertium Quids)--libertarianism, federalism, conservatism, states’ rights
- The Tertium Quids were a faction of the Democratic-Republican Party that only formally constituted itself as a federal political party in 1903, such was its aversion to formalizing its role in the party system. Among all the three parties that have existed roughly since the beginning of the congressional-presidential divide, the Tertium Quids’ beliefs have changed the least. They are economically conservative, opposing virtually all government intervention in the economy beyond light-touch regulation, and they are doctrinaire advocates of returning powers to the states. They espouse a strict interpretation of the Constitution, support closed borders, seek to maintain the smallest military necessary to defend the nation, and have supported, to one degree or another, all of the Neutrality Acts, which restrict the federal government’s capacity to enter conflict abroad unless the United States is attacked. The party has had high points under presidents who are National Republicans, the TQs’ traditional allies, and achieved the apex of their political power when they led a coalition elected in 1988 only five months after Antonin Scalia, the first and only TQ president, came into office and during that time reduced the regulatory burden by a fifth and returned numerous powers to the states. The TQs (so branded in the 1990s in order to trade the obscure Latin phrase “Tertium Quids” for the modish abbreviation “TQs”) draw their support less from specific social, economic, or geographic cohorts than other parties do; instead, they have a base united by ideology instead of interest, and this has made the TQs a powerful force in advancing their platform.
- Liberal--social liberalism, environmentalism, progressivism
- Lest all congressionalists have to vote for conservative parties, the Liberals are the option for center-left supporters of congressional supremacy. Though the Congressionalist cause during the Civil War was broadly on the right, there was always a distinctly left-leaning voice among its ranks, and with the war’s conclusion and the assortment of parties along the axis they presently occupy, the Liberal Party came into being as that voice’s political conduit. They have always favored more transfer payments but have never endorsed a cradle-to-grave welfare state as Progressive Labor has, and like other American center-left parties it is, broadly, interventionist in foreign policy. The party came into its own around 1960 with the advent of the environmental movement. It was the first party to support federal regulation of pollutants, and its scheme for classifying and giving companies emissions credits was made the law in 1969 and remains in place today. In presidential elections, it is known for neither fielding nor endorsing candidates, instead allowing its voters to vote for right-wing congressionalist parties or left-wing presidentialist parties.
- National Republicans--social conservatism, American system, non-interventionism
- Democratic--expansionism, interventionism, progressivism
- The Democratic Party has for its entire existence been the political vehicle for presidentialism. From its inception in the early days of national expansion and its crystallization under Andrew Jackson, it has consistently advanced the cause of presidential power at home, especially with regard to the veto and impoundment, both of which Jackson used extensively, and the cause of imperialism and territorial expansion abroad. During the Civil War, which lasted from 1892 to 1898, the skeleton of the Democratic Party was used to organize and coordinate food and munitions transfers to Presidentialist forces. Since the war, however, it has often failed in presidential elections to elect a candidate on its own ticket, but it has dutifully gotten behind the presidentialist candidate in every election except for 1971, when many Democrats broke ranks and voted congressionalist out of dissatisfaction with the presidency of William Eckert. Ideologically, the party is a bit of a hodge-podge: its membership can be rather hamfistedly separated into a protectionist, anti-socialist, anti-communist, social liberal wing and a redistributionist, anti-banking, internationalist wing (right and left, roughly), but the internal divisions of the party evade such convenient bifurcations. Promising to protect American interests abroad and unite the American people, the Democrats portray themselves as the party of the common man or woman and young strivers (in contrast to the National Republicans, who brand themselves as the party of the middle-class family).
- Progressive Labor--social democracy, non-interventionism
- The most-left wing party in American democracy, the Progressive Labor Party grew out of the union movement that supported the Presidentialists in the Civil War but split from the Democratic Party after President Fuller reneged on his promises to sign federal laws complying with the unions’ demands after the war. They elected their first president in the next election, albeit from amongst a divided field, and have elected two presidents since. They have had some luck in passing their agenda during these periods, but they have often coincided with congressionalist control of Congress. Notably, Progressive Labor piloted through, under President Knell, the Ourselves and Our Posterity Accounts, a plan for the federal government to open up an account for every child born in America to American parents in a bank of the parents’ choosing and to deposit a lump sum in that account that will be inaccessible (except in unforeseen emergencies) to the child until the age of eighteen. Otherwise, the party supports a federal ban right-to-work laws, mandatory union representation on boards, and old-age pensions.
- Conservative--social conservatism, economic libertarianism, pro-business
- Conservatives are to the presidentialists as the Liberals are to the congressionalists. Their philosophy of neoconservative internationalism is familiar on their side, but their embrace of libertarian economics is alien to its partner parties and for that reason it has grown in recent years as presidentialists who favor the free market and balanced budgets realize that no other presidentialist parties have been catering to their interests. They have a great base of support among the middle class and especially the upper class and compete with the Pro-Life Party for religious voters. Founded in 1977, they had no success in electing their own president but were nevertheless faithful to other presidentialist nominees. It was perhaps due to this loyalty that the Democrats agreed to a joint endorsement of Conservative candidate Mary Cheney in 2014 to forfend against the victory of the National Republicans, whose candidate was until then leading decisively in the polls.
- Indian Federation--Indian rights and interests
- There is little to say about the Indian Federation other than that it was founded in the 1940s to protect Indian interests in national politics. There was a spate of murders of Native Americans on Indian reservations in the 1930s and 1940s by non-tribal citizens, and the federal reaction was seen was as lackluster among other reasons because the federal government refused to render the accused parties to Indian reservations to be tried in tribal courts as had been the custom. Consequently, many Indian leaders gathered and founded this party, and in time the government’s response became came to be seen as so ill-considered that it formally apologized in 1972. Though the party has had its greatest allies in presidentialist parties, it has joined two congressionalist coalitions in Congress; due in part to its picayune stature in politics and in part to its formation as a reaction to race-based crimes, no presidentialist party has raised a fuss.
- Pro-Life--opposition to abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty
- The Pro-Life Party is a most curious creation of the ecumenical movement of the 1950s. Founded by members of all Christian denominations, including Catholics, evangelical and mainline Protestants, Mormons, and Jehovah’s Witnesses, the party was firmly opposed to ongoing efforts to legalize abortion, contraception, and euthanasia but was divided over foreign policy between an interventionist, almost neoconservative faction and a pacifist and internationalist faction; though the party’s manifesto has always opposed the death penalty, there is nevertheless a sizable minority of Protestants in the party who support the death penalty for murder, rape, and the like. It draws its support, naturally, from religious families and has negligible purchase among more secular people. Historically, it has found itself in the presidentialist coalition because it supported President Kefauver’s repeated vetoes and executive-branch sabotage of the pro-eugenics and pro-contraception policies that Congress attempted to pass in the late Fifties and early Sixties, and its role in the coalition has been a comfortable one since then. The election of Theodore Hesburgh in 1971 and the subsequent passage of a bill banning therapeutic abortions nationwide was the party’s high-water mark electorally, and his unifying, placid presidency is a great point of pride for the party and its membership.
- Democratic--expansionism, interventionism, progressivism
Hey! Once I was really tired & reading about the Dred Scott case, & wondered what would happen if Roger B. Taney ran for President. Numerous edits & a missing paper later, I hereby present:
1853-7: Franklin Pierce/William R. King (Democratic)
def. DECEASED/William A. Graham (Whig) [1]
"I wish I could indulge higher hope for the future of our country, but the aspect of any vision is fearfully dark and I cannot make it otherwise."
Franklin Pierce was never going to unite the nation. He only won the nomination because all the other candidates were able to push against the party’s power blocs. He only won the general election because Daniel Webster died a week before Election Day. He was brought into office through forces beyond his control, & those forces would grow to haunt his term as President.
The signature piece of legislation would be the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which blew a hole in the Missouri Compromise & made slavery into a state-by-state decision. Pierce had hoped to focus on building a transcontinental railroad, but the situation in Kansas became an issue too violent to control- a civil war writ small, where settlers from across the nation waged bloody battles with the balance of power on the line. Pierce struggled to keep the peace in Kansas until the tail end of his presidency. Weighing his options, Pierce decided it was best he depart the Presidency & spend more time with his family. [2]
1857: Thomas J. Rusk/Jacob A. Westervelt (Democratic)
def. Charles Sumner/Edward Bates (‘Northern’ Whig) [3], Millard Fillmore/John W. Crockett (‘American’ Whig) [4]
“This Union deserves a leader who can commit all of his attention to affairs of state… I am not that leader.”
With the obvious choice taken off the table, the Democratic Convention of 1856 was open to serious competition. The Northern Democrats oscillated between Stephen Douglas & Lewis Cass, with an indecisive New York delegation clinging to Daniel S. Dickinson. James Buchanan & William R. King both tried to coax each other into running, while both refusing the nomination for themselves. [5] In the end, Rusk’s entering himself in late & the party’s complicated relationship with Sam Houston gave the Texan senator the nomination. With the national Whig party breaking into state conventions, victory seemed assured.
The race soon stiffened, though. The Democrats were found trailing Sumner even in New Hampshire. The Americans unloaded rumours about the Democratic ticket that put the loyalty of the ticket in question. Then Rusk’s wife died. Despondent, he considered withdrawing at once, but the party told him they would surely lose without him. He stayed, & sure enough the outpouring of sympathy obliterated the mudslinging Americans & the PTSD-ridden Sumner to open a blue sea from Massena to Miami.
But after taking office, his past as a fighter for the rights of the Texan state would come back to bite him. His agenda would soon be disrupted by ‘obstinate’ Northern Senators and Southerners demanding federal protection. The nation was becoming more polarized by the day, and the President was growing a tumour in his neck. Despondent & hopeless, Rusk would shoot himself before completing a year in office.
1857-61: Jacob A. Westervelt (Democratic)
“No matter how many laws I sign, I will always regret not acting more in office... So act I shall.”
When choosing a running-mate, it is seen as wise to find a good foil. If you’re nominating, say, a Southwestern frontiersy Senator, it would be best to find a Northeastern urbanite with executive experience. However, if your nominee is an outsider, make sure that your running mate be an outsider as well. This was the logic behind choosing the reformist New York Mayor & acclaimed shipbuilder Jacob Aaron Westervelt.
Before his ascension, Westervelt had given little to the ticket other than some Know-Nothing opposition & some foreign policy advice. Upon his swearing-in, though, he made big plans that most would find not befitting an unelected President. He made a noble stab at reforming the Civil Service. He loosened trade, opened immigration and even tried to purchase Alaska. But, as with most Presidents in this era, he is most remembered for his slavery policy.
According to sources close to him, Westervelt spent months crafting a policy to diffuse the debates around the nature of slavery. It would act as a series of legislative guard rails, to stave off the extremes of either side. The most compelling evidence is in two simple congressional resolutions: The North or South was not going to secede. Slavery was not going to be nationally allowed or abolished. Many believe there were more to come: measures outlining the Fugitive Slave Act, the Slave Trade, even the nature of slavery in the territories.
Whether Westervelt’s plan to “constrict the fire of the slavery question” would have worked we will never know, because his careful machinations were disrupted by a slave revolt. Slaves from the Mississippi river killed their masters, stole a boat & gathered momentum while steaming towards New Orleans. Their plan was simple: the core of the slaver’s economy, turned into an exporter for slave rebellion. The battle in New Orleans was ferocious, with the port being briefly captured by rebels before the front widened to the entire city.
The revolt was suppressed, but would last in an insurrection in Florida that would last a decade. Westervelt took the opportunity to secure slaves with federal troops, while acting as a watch against Southern peppiness. In the end, the situation was worse for everyone: the slave economy was in shambles, the price of slaves was shot, & many slaveowners took out their anger on them. To many, their slaves had become more trouble than they were worth, while others had only grown more furious. Westervelt would not seek a term of his own, instead returning to his work as a shipbuilder.
1861-65: John W. Geary/Nathaniel P. Banks (Republican)
def. Joseph Lane/Robert M. T. Hunter (‘National’ Democratic) [6], Sam Houston/Andrew Johnson (American/‘Western’ Democratic) [7], Edward Bates/William G. Crosby (Whig) [8]
"I desire to know no party, no section, no North, no South, no East, no West; nothing but my country."
John Geary was the man who brought peace to Kansas, & the first former Democrat to be nominated by th newly-renamed Republican Party. His nomination was seen as the Party finally outgrowing the Whigs, & with the opposition breaking in two, it seemed that Geary was destined to change American history.
Yet Geary saw his role was to make certain that he didn’t change history, to bring his party kicking & screaming into the mainstream. The only thing stopping half the country from rebelling was the federal troops stopping their slaves from rebelling. Instead, in exchange for the presidency, the South prepared to extract every concession every slaver ever dreamed up.
The first major bill placed into consideration was one formally paying for any slave to “move” out of America. The bill included a remarkably cheeky provision in suggesting that the slaves be deported to “territories of future interest to the United States, such as Cuba.” The idea of the prospective crown jewel of the Golden Circle becoming a haven for freemen was enough to reduce every Southern aristocrat into a seething rage. Yet some wheeling-dealing with the western Democrats & a Herculean effort from the Vice-President led to the Compromise of 1862: the slave bill plus a Homestead act that Geary was going to work on anyways. After this, the slavery debate was again declared ‘solved’.
The rest of Geary’s term would be marked by a shared outpouring of national pride as the future of the Union was restored. Not much in the way of national initiatives came from the Oval Office, or anywhere else, as the Republicans wished to see the issues of the past melt away into a second Era of Good Feelings. Yet this best-laid plan went the way of all best-laid plans- scuppered by Ben Butler.
1865-7: Nathaniel P. Banks/Cassius M. Clay(Republican)
def. Benjamin Butler/Robert C. Wickliffe (Democratic)
“…and as our forefathers reached the shores of America, their solace was in the fact that they had found free soil.”
Nathaniel Banks was just where he wanted to be: by the side of a popular president who only planned to serve one term. His nomination for President was a given, & his election was certain. There was no way for the Democratic Party to stop him.
Or so he thought. Ben Butler, a northerner & supporter of Jefferson Davis, earned his party’s nomination by appealing to the only base left- slavers. But when Banks unveiled his platform of ‘National Unity,’ Butler scrapped his own party’s plans & tapped into popular resentment. He decried ‘boss politics,’ ‘crony economics,’ & ‘The endless stream of half-measures that serve to halve the nation’s potential’. Though he only won eight states, he is credited with saving the party from oblivion.
Undeterred by one man’s quixotic scramble for the Presidency, Banks set to work restoring national prestige. His first major act was to announce his formal support of a National Railroad, “in whatever form it may take.” He continued the Westervelt-era plan to purchase Alaska, bought off the Danish West Indies, & quietly ignored the French intervention in Mexico after they threatened to create an immigration package no Southerner could pass up. Nonetheless, the Banks administration showed real promise, & it seemed as though they could never live up to it.
Unfortunately for Banks, he wouldn’t have to. During his second State of the Union address, after a line appealing to the Republicans’ anti-slavery roots, a man named Benjamin Flanders stood up. He had been a Unionist before the slave revolt, where he led a crowd of civilians in a charge against the upstart Negroes. After the experience, he left the Union Party & was reëlected as an independent promising to ‘champion the cause of the South!’ And so, he stood up & became the first person to kill the President.
[1] This is the PoD, of course. Webster wins the nomination, & dies on schedule. In hindsight, Pierce was likely to win anyways, but TTL doesn’t know that.
[2] On the upside, the fateful train accident that killed Bennie Pierce never happens. At least this President gets a happy ending.
[3] The North’s newest hero was widely known for his fiery anti-slavery campaigns before he was nominated by the Northern Whigs. Yet when the race came down to the wire, the Senator underperformed, suffering from splitting headaches & often having to leave mid-speech. He resigned from the Senate upon losing and briefly retired, beginning what wits called the ‘Year Without a Sumner’.
[4] The former President, though denied renomination by the Whigs just four years ago, suddenly became a source of nostalgia for many Americans. He was chosen near-unanimously, but was slammed for his vicious tactics. The image of an embittered Fillmore retreating from public life is a mostly accurate one.
[5] Yeah, King survived too.
[6] There was a long line of Democratic candidates for President in 1860. The least objectionable, Joseph Lane of Oregon, would end up taking the torch. Garnering at least tacit support from all factions & allowing only minor defections, Lane’s main weakness was a party and a base that was just too tired to go on.
[7] All parties tried to take advantage of the realignment to create bipartisan tickets. While the Democrats nominated a converted Whig, the rump Americans (mostly just Sam Houston at this point) nominated a Democratic contender. It wouldn’t do them much good in the Electoral College, though.
[8] Whigs, Unionists & wishy-washers of all stripes were ecstatic to learn that the Whigs would hold a National Convention for the first time in almost a decade. In honor of Henry Clay’s Missouri Compromise, which was forty years old that year, the Convention would nominate one candidate from Missouri & one from Maine. Then Bates had an eleventh-hour change of heart & endorsed Geary. Crosby shrugged & withdrew, while the Whigs descended into infighting. Bates still received a few thousand votes, all from Kentucky.

So I saw this in one of the memes threads and was inspired to flesh out the scenario:
Presidents of the United States:
Joe Biden/Beto O'Rourke 2021 (Died in office)
2020: Def. Donald Trump/Mike Pence, Justin Amash/Mark Sanford, Jesse Ventura/Tulsi Gabbard
In the end, for all the twists and turns of 2020's primary cycle, the results went as most had expected before they happened. Former Vice President Joe Biden was selected as the nominee. However, his big mistake was in his confidence all he had to do was not be Trump. Thus he selected former Congressman Beto O'Rourke as his running mate, a move which angered much of the party base and pushed some (*cough* Gabbard *cough*) to leave the Democratic Party and support Ventura's more progressive campaign. Fortunately for Dems who feared this would lead to a guaranteed Trump reelection, the Libertarian ticket of Justin Amash and Mark Sanford was significantly more appealing to Trump-skeptic Republicans than the last Libertarian ticket had been and was bolstered by support from Trump's primary challengers Bill Weld and Larry Hogan (as well as long-speculated challengers who never materialized like Jeff Flake and John Kasich). In the end, in 2020, despite the still-decent economy, people decided they were tired of the Donald and sent him packing with surprisingly few Twitter outbursts.
Biden's actual presidency would prove surprisingly uneventful, as Biden himself would die in office less than six months in, becoming the second shortest serving president in history.
Beto O'Rourke/vacant 2021-2022
Beto O'Rourke/Cory Booker 2022-2026 (Assassinated)
2024: Def. Mike Pompeo/Nikki Haley, Justin Amash/Glenn Jacobs, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/John Eder
O'Rourke's presidency went remarkably poorly all things considered. The economy tanked shortly after he took office, costing him control of the House and securing Republican control in the Senate. His policy stances happened to exist in the exact spot where the right saw him as a closet socialist who wanted to destroy freedom and the grassroots left saw him as a neoliberal corporate shill who was too wishy-washy to take the bold steps necessary to make the country great. For much of his time in office, radicalizing views began to take root among much of the country, which he sought to prevent. O'Rourke would narrowly win the 2024 election but would lose the popular vote, earning the ire of many Republicans (ironically) as well as from progressives who still opposed the electoral college on principle. O'Rourke, rather than reckon with growing unpopularity, sought to frame most opposition to his administration as the result of Russian interference and in 2025 would be accused of using the FBI to monitor prominent opponents to his administration for 'ties to foreign powers.' O'Rourke would seek to defend this stance, but the controversy would be ongoing on the fateful March day that a terrorist (of unknown origin) launched an attack on the White House, killing O'Rourke and most of his administration. A near-simultaneous attack on the Capitol would kill most of Congress as well on this day.
DISPUTED 2026-
In addition to the below factions, the Second American Civil War has territory under the control of Hawaiian nationalists, Native American tribal governments, drug cartels and the Cuban government. These are not listed due to lacking nominal statehood.
Alliance for Progress
Presidents of the Central Emergency Government
Kamala Harris/James Mattis 2026-
2028: Def. John Kasich/Charlie Baker
Harris was the Attorney General in Biden and O'Rourke's cabinet and was the highest member of the line of succession to survive the DC attacks. Harris would face a rapidly unraveling situation across the US as much of the country's political factions began to form their own enclaves. Her efforts to utilize the Armed Forces to deal with the problems were stymied after reports came out that several CEG soldiers had committed war crimes pacifying New York and Philadelphia. While Harris promised to hold the troops accountable, this sparked mass desertions from the Army's ranks and the National Guard (most of whom ended up siding with their state governments rather than the feds). It got to the point Harris' government was forced to form an alliance with criminals to maintain her forces' manpower advantage. Harris' government overall bases its claims on its status as legitimate successors in the line of succession and is more moderate than the allies the CEG has made elsewhere.
Heads of the California People's State
Gavin Newsom/Elena Kounalkis 2026-2027
Libby Schaaf/Kevin De Leon 2027-
2026: Def. Elena Kounalkis/Eric Swalwell, Catharine Baker/Neel Kashkari
California's breakaway faction is well to the left of the Central Emergency Government, though comparable in general temperament. Less purge-happy than some of its neighbors, the People's State is nevertheless very left wing and the Republican and Libertarian Parties are outlawed as seditious (though the milquetoast 'New Whig Party' has largely absorbed the moderate Republicans native to California). Schaaf's administration is continually on-edge regarding enroachment from right-wing factions on the border and she is rather fearful of her own allies as well (particularly the more radical ones). The California People's State is largely credited for creating the Alliance for Progress as a popular front between progressives, liberals, socialists and communists in order to defeat 'reactionaries' and is responsible for most alliance-wide propaganda.
Heads of the Ecofront of Cascadia
Jay Inslee 2026-2029
Josiah Dean 2029-
Cascadia's nationalism that surged during the O'Rourke years also manifested a strong environmentalist streak. Installing former governor Jay Inslee as the first Cascadian Ecofront leader, Cascadia's armed forces are a mix of Oregon and Washington's former National Guard and various eco-radicals. While the governing officials are moderate, members of the Ecofront rank-and-file tend to be rather radical, believing in radical forms of environmental protection such as population reduction and deindustrialization. The Ecofront's leadership is on good terms with the rest of the Alliance, but fears they may not be able to restrain their supporters going forward.
Antifa Union Triumverate
Scott Crow/Yvette Felarca/Chelsea Manning 2026-
By far the most radical member of the Alliance, the Antifa forces run the gamut across socialist, Marxist and anti-capitalist ideologies and are extremely hostile to those outside of that band of views. Antifa 'black bloc' forces have been responsible for launching major insurgencies across the nation and territory held by Antifa forces features rampant prosecution of dissidents from the broadly socialist worldview including liberals, centrists, libertarians and conservatives as well as actual fascists. Antifa, while it joined the Alliance, has not taken more than token steps to dissuade antifa members from fomenting unrest in other parts of the Alliance and many opposing factions leaders worry that, if the Alliance wins, Antifa will seek to seize control of the country as a whole via revolution.
Alliance for Freedom
Presidents of the Free States of America
Glenn Jacobs/Thomas Massie 2026-2029
Adam Kokesh/Thomas E. Woods 2029- (also head of the Reorganzied Force for Freedom)
2028: Def. Glenn Jacobs/Thomas Massie, Brian Sandoval/Raul Labrador
The Free States of America are an umbrella libertarian force that consists of a mix of minarchists, classical liberals, anarcho-capitalists, paleolibertarians and such. The Free States government is rather decentralized and at times it is arguable that it even qualifies as a government so much as a network for communication between numerous militia groups, to the point that the Reorganized Freedom Force, prior to Kokesh's election in 2028, was almost a separate faction given that it was, in essence, a voluntarist network (as much as a militia grabbing territory could be considered 'voluntary'). The Free States generally are hands-off within their territory, with almost no laws beyond the Non-Aggression Principle (although if one expresses left-wing views, those laws tend to not be enforced in your favor by local privatized security). This government does not issue a set central currency, which is actually an asset in terms of allowing them to acquire weapons as Bitcoin and gold have proven more stable than the dollar or any new currency during this conflict. Despite the near-total privatization, the Free States are one of the nicer factions in the ongoing conflict.
Presidents of the Texas Free State
Ted Cruz/Rand Paul 2027-
2026: Def. Julian Castro/Wendy Davis
While possessing many similarities to the Free States and a strong ally thereof, Texas' more conservative views led them to become a separate state, something handled amicably thanks to the pro-secession tendencies of the Free States' leadership. Texas' government is slightly more robust than the Free States', being empowered to enforce immigration control and a ban on abortion, among other things. Texas is largely on the defensive compared to most other factions, largely seeking to maintain a distinct Texan identity blending liberatarian and conservative beliefs rather than secure more territory for the motherland (though they continue to fight to retake Austin and Houston from the CEG).
National Union of Patriots
Presidents of the New American Patriotic Republic
Mike Pence/Josh Hawley 2026-2029
Josh Hawley/John James 2029-
2028: Election suspended
The New American Patriotic Republic is the most traditionally conservative member of the NUP. Pence and Hawley largely are orthodox conservatives overall, with the only real differences being more Trumpian rhetoric regarding trade and immigration and suspended elections (in the name of national security, being one of few nominally democratic factions to have had no election since the war began). The NAPR is dominant in the Midwest thanks to the aforementioned pseudo-populist rhetoric, but faces manpower shortages thanks to the persistence of libertarian rebels (a large number of whom used to be on the city's football team) in Green Bay and Antifa holdouts in Detroit and Chicago. This has forced the government to enlist the Crips and right-wing militants led by Steven Crowder to prevent the CEG from enroaching. And of course, making unsavory alliances...
Presidents of the New Confederate States
Roy Moore/Brian Kemp 2026-
2026: Def. Charlie Crist/Mike Espy
The South has risen again, because who doubted for a second they wouldn't? Led by a theocrat and an autocrat, the New Confederacy is surprisingly tolerant compared to what one might expect from a new CSA, in that they didn't bring back Jim Crow but simply ramp up profiling, overlook higher police brutality and align with the Ku Klux Klan privately to prevent uprisings. The faction is considerably more theocratic than racist in terms of formal policy, with same-sex activity being illegal, abortion being prohibited and the Ten Commandments being put up in front of every courthouse (to much taxpayer expense). The New Confederacy is also in a far weaker position compared to its historic predecessor, only holding parts of the Deep South. The dream of one day being able to set up the capital in Richmond remains as distant as ever, despite its best efforts.
Directors of the National Force for Civilization
Richard Spencer/Jason Kessler 2026-2028 (Killed in office)
Jason Kessler/Matthew Heimbach 2028-
Commonly called 'the Nazi faction' by literally every other faction (yes including their allies). The National Force for Civilization is by far the most barbaric faction in the conflict, seeking to perpetrate ethnic cleansing to make the country an ethnostate, as well as killing all political opponents (though for now they don't define non-Nazi right wingers as such). For all the rhetoric about 'combatting cultural Marxism' and 'upholding western values,' the National Force is little more than an ad hoc coalition of sexist thugs, racist thugs and psychopaths (and yes, the overlap is enormous).
Presidents of Utah
Spencer Cox/Mia Love 2026-
2028: Ran unopposed
Presidents of Deseret
Mike Lee/Thomas Lee 2026-
2028: Ran unopposed
The Utah vs. Deseret dispue is pretty much simply a conflict over which direction the seceded Utah should go. Cox represented the moderate right while Lee proposed more conservative stances, including possible alliances with the Free States. The decision over who would lead Utah by the State Legislature was decided by a single vote who may or may not have been bribed into picking Cox. This sparked a regional civil war between Cox and Lee over control of Utah, which has left them vulnerable to incursions.
Emperors of the Heavenly Empire of Florida
Ronald Dion I of House DeSantis 2026-
Nobody expected Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to gain the sort of memetic following the likes of Ron Paul, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders had received, but it occurred nonetheless. DeSantis had begun this trend when he quoted the 2020 Dune film in the middle of a primary debate, when he declared 'The sleeper has awakened!' in response to Ben Carson agitatedly shouting at Mike Pompeo onstage. This led to a vast number of memes declaring DeSantis the God-Emperor, something that DeSantis would recognize only increasing his following. While it began as memes that failed to get DeSantis the 2024 nod, DeSantis increasingly internalized the mindset of these memes and became a center of several new ones during the rest of his term as governor. When the Capitol and White House were destroyed, DeSantis took it as a sign that he was to become emperor of Florida and declared himself such, arresting the 2026 gubernatorial candidates of Andrew Gillum (whom had declined a rematch in 2022 believing he would be tough to beat) and Matt Gaetz. The now-Emperor Ronald Dion I's declaration was accepted surprisingly calmly by most Florida residents, who embraced him much the same way San Franciscans of the 19th century embraced Emperor Norton. However, the civil war led many to go even further than Norton's fans did, taking up arms against the Emergency Government, white nationalists, Cuban invaders and communist militants seeking to enroach on Florida's territory. The Heavenly Empire is not too heavenly to live in thanks to the numerous invasions, but despite the Emperor's clear lunacy, isn’t too horrible
Presidents of New Afrika
Malia Obama/Cornel West 2026-
Formed as a result of the persecution of the black population by the New Confederacy, New Afrika exists to form an African-American society free from the oppression of whites. Granted credence thanks to the role of the former First Daughter of the United States, New Afrika has become largely racially homogenous thanks to white flight from their territory and refugee movement by African-Americans outside of New Afrika. However, New Afrika has refrained from persecuting those whites who remain behind and some hold positions in the New Afrikan government (although many distrust them as New Confederate and National Force spies have been an issue). New Afrika is largely on a defensive footing owing to alienation from all major factions but thus far has managed to hold their own. Elections in New Afrika are scheduled for 2030.
Presidents of the United States:
Joe Biden/Beto O'Rourke 2021 (Died in office)
2020: Def. Donald Trump/Mike Pence, Justin Amash/Mark Sanford, Jesse Ventura/Tulsi Gabbard
In the end, for all the twists and turns of 2020's primary cycle, the results went as most had expected before they happened. Former Vice President Joe Biden was selected as the nominee. However, his big mistake was in his confidence all he had to do was not be Trump. Thus he selected former Congressman Beto O'Rourke as his running mate, a move which angered much of the party base and pushed some (*cough* Gabbard *cough*) to leave the Democratic Party and support Ventura's more progressive campaign. Fortunately for Dems who feared this would lead to a guaranteed Trump reelection, the Libertarian ticket of Justin Amash and Mark Sanford was significantly more appealing to Trump-skeptic Republicans than the last Libertarian ticket had been and was bolstered by support from Trump's primary challengers Bill Weld and Larry Hogan (as well as long-speculated challengers who never materialized like Jeff Flake and John Kasich). In the end, in 2020, despite the still-decent economy, people decided they were tired of the Donald and sent him packing with surprisingly few Twitter outbursts.
Biden's actual presidency would prove surprisingly uneventful, as Biden himself would die in office less than six months in, becoming the second shortest serving president in history.
Beto O'Rourke/vacant 2021-2022
Beto O'Rourke/Cory Booker 2022-2026 (Assassinated)
2024: Def. Mike Pompeo/Nikki Haley, Justin Amash/Glenn Jacobs, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/John Eder
O'Rourke's presidency went remarkably poorly all things considered. The economy tanked shortly after he took office, costing him control of the House and securing Republican control in the Senate. His policy stances happened to exist in the exact spot where the right saw him as a closet socialist who wanted to destroy freedom and the grassroots left saw him as a neoliberal corporate shill who was too wishy-washy to take the bold steps necessary to make the country great. For much of his time in office, radicalizing views began to take root among much of the country, which he sought to prevent. O'Rourke would narrowly win the 2024 election but would lose the popular vote, earning the ire of many Republicans (ironically) as well as from progressives who still opposed the electoral college on principle. O'Rourke, rather than reckon with growing unpopularity, sought to frame most opposition to his administration as the result of Russian interference and in 2025 would be accused of using the FBI to monitor prominent opponents to his administration for 'ties to foreign powers.' O'Rourke would seek to defend this stance, but the controversy would be ongoing on the fateful March day that a terrorist (of unknown origin) launched an attack on the White House, killing O'Rourke and most of his administration. A near-simultaneous attack on the Capitol would kill most of Congress as well on this day.
DISPUTED 2026-
In addition to the below factions, the Second American Civil War has territory under the control of Hawaiian nationalists, Native American tribal governments, drug cartels and the Cuban government. These are not listed due to lacking nominal statehood.
Alliance for Progress
Presidents of the Central Emergency Government
Kamala Harris/James Mattis 2026-
2028: Def. John Kasich/Charlie Baker
Harris was the Attorney General in Biden and O'Rourke's cabinet and was the highest member of the line of succession to survive the DC attacks. Harris would face a rapidly unraveling situation across the US as much of the country's political factions began to form their own enclaves. Her efforts to utilize the Armed Forces to deal with the problems were stymied after reports came out that several CEG soldiers had committed war crimes pacifying New York and Philadelphia. While Harris promised to hold the troops accountable, this sparked mass desertions from the Army's ranks and the National Guard (most of whom ended up siding with their state governments rather than the feds). It got to the point Harris' government was forced to form an alliance with criminals to maintain her forces' manpower advantage. Harris' government overall bases its claims on its status as legitimate successors in the line of succession and is more moderate than the allies the CEG has made elsewhere.
Heads of the California People's State
Gavin Newsom/Elena Kounalkis 2026-2027
Libby Schaaf/Kevin De Leon 2027-
2026: Def. Elena Kounalkis/Eric Swalwell, Catharine Baker/Neel Kashkari
California's breakaway faction is well to the left of the Central Emergency Government, though comparable in general temperament. Less purge-happy than some of its neighbors, the People's State is nevertheless very left wing and the Republican and Libertarian Parties are outlawed as seditious (though the milquetoast 'New Whig Party' has largely absorbed the moderate Republicans native to California). Schaaf's administration is continually on-edge regarding enroachment from right-wing factions on the border and she is rather fearful of her own allies as well (particularly the more radical ones). The California People's State is largely credited for creating the Alliance for Progress as a popular front between progressives, liberals, socialists and communists in order to defeat 'reactionaries' and is responsible for most alliance-wide propaganda.
Heads of the Ecofront of Cascadia
Jay Inslee 2026-2029
Josiah Dean 2029-
Cascadia's nationalism that surged during the O'Rourke years also manifested a strong environmentalist streak. Installing former governor Jay Inslee as the first Cascadian Ecofront leader, Cascadia's armed forces are a mix of Oregon and Washington's former National Guard and various eco-radicals. While the governing officials are moderate, members of the Ecofront rank-and-file tend to be rather radical, believing in radical forms of environmental protection such as population reduction and deindustrialization. The Ecofront's leadership is on good terms with the rest of the Alliance, but fears they may not be able to restrain their supporters going forward.
Antifa Union Triumverate
Scott Crow/Yvette Felarca/Chelsea Manning 2026-
By far the most radical member of the Alliance, the Antifa forces run the gamut across socialist, Marxist and anti-capitalist ideologies and are extremely hostile to those outside of that band of views. Antifa 'black bloc' forces have been responsible for launching major insurgencies across the nation and territory held by Antifa forces features rampant prosecution of dissidents from the broadly socialist worldview including liberals, centrists, libertarians and conservatives as well as actual fascists. Antifa, while it joined the Alliance, has not taken more than token steps to dissuade antifa members from fomenting unrest in other parts of the Alliance and many opposing factions leaders worry that, if the Alliance wins, Antifa will seek to seize control of the country as a whole via revolution.
Alliance for Freedom
Presidents of the Free States of America
Glenn Jacobs/Thomas Massie 2026-2029
Adam Kokesh/Thomas E. Woods 2029- (also head of the Reorganzied Force for Freedom)
2028: Def. Glenn Jacobs/Thomas Massie, Brian Sandoval/Raul Labrador
The Free States of America are an umbrella libertarian force that consists of a mix of minarchists, classical liberals, anarcho-capitalists, paleolibertarians and such. The Free States government is rather decentralized and at times it is arguable that it even qualifies as a government so much as a network for communication between numerous militia groups, to the point that the Reorganized Freedom Force, prior to Kokesh's election in 2028, was almost a separate faction given that it was, in essence, a voluntarist network (as much as a militia grabbing territory could be considered 'voluntary').
