List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

[Comrade Izaac]

When you decide to throw the election by going third party with an unqualified running mate, thus splitting the liberal vote, and giving us four more years of American concentration camps and a war with Iran in the process...

five bucks says it was because Biden got caught doing some dumb shit

 

[Steve Brinson]

Soviet Russia Liberates Western Europe Part II:

"Liberates"

 

[EricSandwich]

A weird little future presidents timeline I made for fun. I have my obvious political biases, but I do try to temper it with a sense of humor. Also other then the two big names on this list everyone here is unknown to national politics (although they are real people!). I like the idea of unexpected figures suddenly finding themselves in the historical spotlight.

45: Donald J. Trump, R-NY (2017 - 2020) †
With the economy teetering into recession after the student loan bubble burst, congressional inquiries into the botched strike in the Persian Gulf that left an entire aircraft carrier and its crew hostages to Iran, unemployment protests paralyzing major cities, and the mass resignations of most of his staff (including the vice president, who was caught with a male escort), President Trump faced a perfect storm. Establishment Republicans demanded he appoint their sitting RNC chairman as his vice president to give some semblance of control, privately they begged prominent conservatives for a primary run. His debilitating stroke early december the previous year left half his face paralyzed. Unable or unwilling to appear in public slurring his words and drooling, the President was left frantically tweeting defences as a Entertainment Weekly released a grainy video from 1997 of a much younger and happier Donald groping then sixteen year old actress Danielle Fishel. After a particularly cryptic and grammatically baffling tweet, secret service heard a gunshot and broke into the oval office to see the president dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. To this day ardent Trump loyalists believe it was a plot by his wife Melania and a secret service lover, and conspiracy theorists continue to hound her.

46: Tuckerman Babcock, R-AK (2020-2021)
An utter nonentity, Tuckerman Babcock was the perfect party loyalist. A little known apparatchik from Alaska he was unambitious, unintelligent, and possessed the rote conservatism of a country politician instead of the cruelty of a fanatic. He was, in short, the perfect empty vessel for RNC leadership who propped him up to be their chairman. Crisis after crisis saw his promotion to vice president and then violently hurled into the presidency.

47: Bernie Sanders, D-VT (2021-2024) †
The democratic socialist won his election in a landslide and immediately set to work hammering through dramatic and far-reaching reforms through congress. Resistance came from the expected quarters: organized business, violent reactionaries, what was left of the republicans. But more often than not he faced recalcitrance on the part of congressional democrats. The old man collapsed of a heart attack literally in the middle of hectoring a Colorado senator into voting for his jobs guarantee bill.

48: Jean Ross, D-MN (2024-2029)
Sanders' initial vice president Tulsi Gabbard had resigned after the Modi affair, going behind the president's back for backdoor diplomacy with India. She was replaced as VP with the Secretary of Health, former national nurse leader Jean Ross and the public face of the signature Medicare for All program. After Sanders' death she found herself the second of two accidental presidents in a decade. Her presidency was less combative than her predecessors', by the election of 24 many of Sanders' reforms had gone into effect. She comfortably won reelection and a healthy majority in congress. Whether subsequent legislation, the Green new deal or the comprehensive voting reform for example, were leftover from the Sanders agenda or were products of her own initiative is still hotly debated, it is widely believed she is not given enough credit as a politician on her own.

49: John Fetterman, D-PA (2029-2033)
The bulky and tattooed former lt gov and gov of Pennsylvania boasted union credentials and projected a certain exaggerated "manliness," making him the ideal vp for the first woman president. Fetterman won the presidency after Ross's decision not to run in 2028, but discovered a populace souring on working class populism and had a harder time in office. His global climate bill arguably saved the world, but at the cost of his popularity at home.

50: Dwayne Johnson, R/Administration-FL (2033-2041)
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had been a beloved governor of Florida after an unusual career of wrestler and actor. He is credited with saving the republican party, merging business interests with comparably liberal social values and presenting it with a thousand kilowatt smile. The perfect centrist! The election of 2032 was something of the battle of the big tattooed guys, but while fetterman was dour and pessimistic, "The Rock" projected confidence and hope. Naturally Johnson sailed into the presidency with ease. Critics maintain he was just a smiling face for business interests to try to dismantle the "new new deal" of the previous decade. In the choice between maintaining a sterling public persona and keeping his conservative donors happy he erred on the side of the public, halting any given privatization effort that had become publicly controversial and dramatically firing whatever official was foolish enough to get caught by the media. By the end of the "golden thirties" a series of climate crises collapsed the two party system into as many as seven competing coalitions.

51: Patrisse Cullors, D/Left Opposition/Labor-CA (2041-???)
Black lives matter activist turned radical California governor, turned first black female president. So far her presidency has seen two different assassination attempts, a wave of climate refugees and the nearly constant breakup and reformation of political parties and coalitions. "May you live in interesting times" is not necessarily a blessing...

It is an Alternate History, If Soviet Union Liberated all of Germany and Western Europe instead of Western Allies for Example if German Reich makes peace with UK in 1940-1941 or Pearl Harbor Attack never happened?

Germany is analogue to Poland and Hungary in OTL.

Looking at your lists, there is a distinct lack of butterflies. Take Finland, for example: to say nothing of the leaders of the Finnish SSR, the listed post-1990 Finnish leaders are all people who would have been born after the POD and would likely not exist at all ITTL. They are also all major OTL politicians from the last 30 years.

IMHO it would make the lists more "lively" as well as arguably more realistic if at least the post-Soviet leaders would be entirely alternate (ie. fictional) people, or then ATL counterparts to OTL people who did not go into politics IOTL but instead became known for other things. You could have, say, the Finnish Prime Minister Touko Laaksonen, President Tamara Lund, or the Chairman of the Finnish Council of National Salvation Antti Kaurismäki.

Yeah I know but, sorry to say that, it still looks to me like you've randomly taken some German politicians from today for your list. Joachim Gauck, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Horst Seehofer, they're all people who were important on the German political stage from the mid-2000s on, or still are. But I might be wrong and you have their alternate biographies laid out before you so that it all makes perfect sense for them to hold high office in the 90s with all the PoDs. Perhaps it's a phenomenon of post-soviet democracies to recruit their leadership from a relatively young generation? I don't know about that.
I just don't like alternate lists that look like nothing but name-dropping to me. But again, I might be misjudging.

You're Right, But why they won't exist in ITTL?

The fact that I had to google most of them just made the experience so much greater! I seem to share most of your biases, so you're welcome. Also, the odd sense of humour in your list is fantastic.

How does a guy from Fort Bend County end up president of North Texas?

Shenanigans.
Real answer: due to militarisation of the southern border, there's a quiet migration of most folks further up towards Oklahoma.

 

[DrakonFin]

You're Right, But why they won't exist in ITTL?

If the POD is during WWII and Finland becomes an SSR after 1945, then the lives of pretty much all Finns would change at least to some degree from the OTL. As the existence of each individual person is dependent on a certain woman and certain man finding each other and hooking up, many people that were born IOTL would simply not be conceived ITTL. Say, the man who IOTL returned to his home village after the war to marry his sweetheart goes to the gulag instead, and meanwhile the woman marries someone else. The birth of several OTL people would be averted, and new, different people would be born. In case of Finland being incorporated into the USSR, we would be seeing a lot of voluntary and involuntary migration and even forced population transfers, and this would play merry hell with the genetic makeup of the postwar generations, comparative to the OTL. Even if by some quirk of fate the same two people as IOTL still become an item ITTL, they will necessarily have children at a different time, and the children will be different people, even if a small number of them would have the same names as OTL people (due to family traditions, and cultural preferences, etc). Those children would also have different lives and different career options, etc, to look forward to in comparison to their OTL "counterparts".

Many if not most politicians active during the last 30 years were born after WWII. Logically, we would not have those exact same individual people existing in such a changed world as you are envisioning, at least not in a country that goes through such a major political and social upheaval as being incorporated into the USSR would be for Finland.

Alphabetical Post War Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom:

1945 - 1950 : Clement Attlee (Labour) (2)
1950 - 1951 : Nye Bevan (Labour) (2)
1951 - 1955 : Winston Churchill (Conservative)
1955 - 1957 : George Darling (Labour) (3)
1957 - 1958 : Walter Elliot (Labour/SUP Coalition) (4)
1958 - 1959 : Eric Fletcher (Labour) (5)
1959 - 1964 : Jo Grimond (Liberal) (6)
1964 - 1966 : John Hall (Conservatives) (7)
1966 - 1970 : Tom Iremonger (Conservatives) (8)
1970 - 1974 : Roy Jenkins (Labour) (9)
1974 : Elaine Kellet-Bowman (Conservatives) (10)
1974 - 1979 : Alexander Lyon (Labour) (11)


(1) Attlee contracts pneumonia seventeen years earlier than he did IOTL and is the first PM to die in office in a long time.
(2) Bevan becomes Acting PM and an abbreviated leadership contest sees him ushered into Downing Street. But even his stewardship of the NHS into being three years earlier can't stop Churchill walking back into office the following year.
(3) But Churchill is old and is quietly shown the door after a disastrous General Election in which Labour returns to office again, under George Darling who pushes the idea of a European trade partnership by joining the European Economic Community in 57 with the Treaty of Rome.
(4) The sign up to the EEC proves to have been a gamble that other parties are not willing to retract, but willing to blame Labour for which leads to a confidence motion, and a General Election which sees Labour holding a minority and forming a coalition with the SUP which sees an SUP MP, Walter Elliot, become Prime Minister.
(5) Elliot becomes the second PM in ten years to due in office, leading the senior Labour politician in the Labour/SUP coalition, Eric Fletcher, calling another General Election to try and gain majority seats. The gambit fails.
(6) In a campaign that pointed the finger for everything going wrong at the Tory/Labour political establishment, Grimond brought the Liberal Party to its first and, to date, only time in power. However, his positions on nuclear disarmament and Scottish home rule all but saw their vote share erased at the next election.
(7) Hall's premiership is, for the most part, unremarkable, and a leadership challenge saw him replaced within two years.
(8) Thomas Lascelles Isa Shandon Valiant Iremonger to use his full name, was rather boring but he used his military background to command a tight and loyal Cabinet. It was only his defeat in the 1974 General Election that saw his removal as (at that point) Leader of the Opposition.
(9) Jenkins had previously supported the decriminalization of homosexuality and the relaxing of abortion laws, and continued his work to create a liberal society. However, his tight fiscal policies didn't win votes and Labour left office in 1974s first election ...
(10) Kellet-Bowman was a pro-European MP and continued her pro-Europe policies during the eight months she was in office. Unfortunately a vanity General Election and her somewhat questionable views on homosexuality being outed in a public debate with Jenkins reversed the Conservatives narrow majority in the years first election.
(11) Roy Jenkins had resigned weeks prior to the second 1974 election, and a brief leadership contest saw elder statesman Alexander Lyon parachutes in as leader, and eventually Prime Minister. Lyon was a radical, and managed to pass amendments to a finance bill which allowed those with moral objections to their taxes being spent on defence to pay that part of their tax to overseas aid instead ...

To be continued ... Maybe ...

Given that the Scottish Unionists were essentially a more independent version of the modern Scottish Conservatives, a coalition with Labour is unlikely to say the least.

Are there any Conservative politicians with surnames starting with F?
