No since this is based off a scenario where the three western provinces join the US after Quebec gains independence, and the Atlantic provinces follow suit.

An Abstract Sort Of Hell:
(Maybe the beginning of a series?)
Noone truly expected her to be among those who went missing. She was a essentially non-existent to seventy percent of the American public for one and insane for the other. Yeah, she had run for president once, but she never even made it to the Iowa Caucuses; Probably because she was best known as the woman who planned to defeat the infamous President Donald Trump using a mixture of slavery reparations and "aggressive love". Whatever that meant. Compared to other big names who went dark, among them major opposition figures like Brianna Joy Gray, Julia Salazar, and Kyle Kulinski, she was a nobody. But, low and behold, three months after the first round of purges began, she disappeared. Most were ethier completely oblivious to her disappearance or, within circles who did know of it, shrugged it off, assuming she had just been another victim of the Federal Security Bureau's second purge, even if it was a bit odd that she of all people had gotten swept up. Even in resistance circles noone knew or cared what had actually happened to her.
But then it started happening. The raids, the cranes.
September of 2037 was a bad month for the American rigeme. Two major military figures, Director of Security Nathan Lang and General Mars O'Connor, had died within a week of eachother. The media megaconglomerates, as instructed by their state handlers, had distributed the official government press release on the issue, claiming that Lang and O'Connor had both died of unfortunately timed "heart attacks". In reality, this was a cover up for what had actually happened; the White Rose had struck again. Lang and O'Connor had been poisoned during a state dinner and the FSB suspected that one or more of the Director's guards had been plants by the White Rose. Fear had swept through the upper echelons of the regime. Having believed the White Rose had been crushed after the arrest of Brace Belden six months prior, the idea that the resistance could execute a successful assassination attempt of not one but two major government figures and get away with it was terrifying. Damage control was in full effect. The media was given their scripts. The President, ever paranoid, approved a series of investigations to flush out suspected members of the White Rose and other resistance members in the military; Brace Belden was thoroughly interrogated, again, in his cell at the "Rocky Mountain Hilton". While these measures seemed to have kept the situation largely under control, everyone in the regime, the President included, knew that they were on thin ice, ecpseically with Prime Minister Jones eagerly waiting for any excuse to "liberate" the United States. God, how the president hated that "uppity leftist queer".
Knowing he had to crush the White Rose insurgency, or see the red flag fly over the White House, the President ordered the new Director of Security, the notoriously ruthless G-man Slyvia Kline, to root out any "suspected leftist dissidents within this great country". Kline had smiled when she received the President's message on her IPhoneU; The new Director always had a fondness for rounding up and dealing with the godless communists in the White Rose and the President had just given her full authorzation to do just that. Director Kline departed from her assignment in Bethesda no less then five minutes after getting off the phone with the president, intending to begin the minute she got back to Arlington.
She would never make it.
Five days. That's how long it took FSB agents to find the Director's car. With drones and satellites and DNA tracking devices, it took them five days. Five days of absolute panic in the White House. Five days of the President silently praying to God, despite the fact that he was an ardent non believer, that this situation wouldn't get any worse. When he was contacted by Deputy Director Forest, he realised that it had.
When they finally found Director Kline and her escort in the dead woods of Southern Maryland, what they saw both confused and terrified the agents present. Kline's car was in tact, yes, but Kline and her three guards were long dead. All four looked as though they had inexplicably attempted to get out of the vehicle and had just barely done so when they had been shot, from several dozen yards away, with near perfect accuracy, a single bullet hole in each of their heads. But that wasn't even the most confusing part. That would be the single paper crane lying in the middle of the road, fifteen feet away from the Director's vehicle.
The President was puzzled; and furious. While he was busy signing the orders to quietly execute the head of Kline's security detail, he played with several theories in his head. Could it have been the White Rose? No, the White Rose was never this precise. Most White Rose operations were deliberately theatrical to bring attetion to their cause and even those that weren't were often at least somewhat sloppy. Even Lang and O'Connor's assassination had trace amounts of evidence that the FSB had used to track the culprits. This strike had been squeaky clean. There was almost no evidence; no surveillance tapes, no DNA residue, nothing. The perpetrators had seemingly just vanished into the night without a trace. Not to mention the whole paper crane thing. No, it couldn't have been the White Rose, or any other resistance group for that matter. Not the Red Alliance, not the Anarchists, none of them. This was something new. Something more dangerous. Foreign intelligence? Maybe Prime Minister Jones had finally sent MI-6 to aid the insurgents. Why that red little fa-. The Presidents thoughts were interrupted by the call.
Someone had broken Brace Belden out of the Rocky Mountain Hilton; and this time, there was surveillance footage. While angered at Belden's newfound freedom, he was also immensely curious.
"Was it the White Rose?"
"No sir. It's... well, sir, just watch for yourself."
The footage, seemingly from one of the prison's many cameras, began with a riot. Gun fire flew in the air as prisoners, most former resistance fighters, engaged in a firefight with the guards. From the angle the footage started on, it appeared to be Belden's cell block. On one end, a group of prisoners fired at the guards with firearms presumably stolen from the armory, while the guards, pushing down the block, fired back. Among the prisoners was Belden, wielding a MARS-L rifle, at the front of the pack. The footage continued. The guards, heavily armed and armored, were able to take few losses as they pused down the corridor, mowing down prisoners with their rifles as they did. On Belden's end, his comrades dropped like flies, until it was only Belden and a few others left, taking cover behind a fallen cell door. Suddenly, from behind the guards, a loud explosion sounded and the camera shook as a large man wearing a combat exo-skeleton grabbed one of the guards and promptly threw him several feet backwards into a wall. Before his comrades could react, two other exo-skeleton wearing figures stepped into frame, mowing down the four other guards with their rifles. Intrigued, the President leaned in as the footage continued. Shocked, Belden and the two remaining prisoners stepped out from behind the fallen cell door, as the three exo-adorned figures looked at them. Then, one of the figures stepped forward, the other two flanking her. She was an older woman with long grayish-blackish hair and a tall, stocky build. Although there was no audio, the woman clearly was speaking to Belden and after about fifteen seconds of rushed conversation, Belden, his fellow prisoners, and two of the exo-wearing figures departed the room, Belden and the other prisoners rapidly grabbing what they could off the corpses of the guards as they could. The woman, however, stayed behind for a brief moment. She looked around, before reaching into one of the pockets of her under-armour uniform and retrieving a single paper crane, which she then layed on the ground. She then turned around briefly, but before she did, she noticed the camera. Staring at it with an almost amused look on her face, she promptly drew her side arm and fired.
The video ended and the agent rewinded several seconds, pausing just before the woman shot the camera. Several visual prompts popped up, showing that the woman had several augments and implants. Several of her limbs, including both of her legs and her left arm, had been augmented.
"Who the fuck is that?"
"That, Mr. President" the agent said, gesturing to a name prompt that had suddenly come up on screen "is Marianne Williamson"

Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom
2010 - 2016 : David Cameron (Conservatives)
2016 - 2017 : Theresa May (Conservatives) (1)
2017 - 2018 : Jeremy Corbyn (Labour Minority) (2)
2018 - 2019 : Tom Watson (Labour - National Unity) (3)
2019 - 2020 : Rory Stewart (Conservative/Lib Dem Coalition) (4)
2020 - 2023 : Heidi Allen (Conservatives) (5)
(1) Theresa May becomes PM when David Cameron resigns and Andrea Leadsom withdraws from the leadership contest. May refuses to activate Article 50 in 2017 and faces protests from her Cabinet and threats of a confidence vote - so citing a wish to consolidate her mandate, she manages to pass a motion for a General Election later that year.
(2) Labour win enough seats to tear away the narrow Conservative and become the largest party in government despite not holding a majority and being unable to form any sort of coalition or establish any sort of confidence and supply agreement. However, Corbyn is determined to press ahead with activating Article 50 but when By Elections see seats flipped to Conservative and Lib Dem candidates, Labour no longer hold the biggest share of seats and no party hold a majority. It's General Election time again in 2018 ...
(3) Once again no party hold a majority despite Labour winning the largest number of seats and no leader can form an effective government so the Queen counsels Parliament that either a second General Election or a Parliamemt of National Unity must be established - hesitant about the optics of a third General Election in two years, the latter option is preferred but the lesser parties make it clear that their terms for this are that Tom Watson is made Prime Minister whilst Corbyn remains Leader of the Labour Party.
(4) More by elections and a further shift in the seats being held towards the Lib Dems see the end of the Parliament of National Unity with the Conservatives and Lib Dems being able to form a coalition holding a very narrow majority in government. With Article 50 yet to be activated - the public start to wonder ... Will it ever?
(5) With further by election victories by the Conservatives leading to a narrow majority in their own right, a gain directly attributed to the Deputy PM, Heidi Allen, Stewart is given his marching orders and Allen enters Downing Street. After four years of rapid political change, last year's - Will it ever happen for Article 50 leads to a second referendum in which four years gave way to a larger number of pro-EU youngsters edging the remain vote into the lead at 60%. Allen lasts the ministry out to the next General Election in 2023 ...

The First Third Party Candidate in over a hundred years, David Koresh swept into office with a frustration with the increasing dominance of the republican party and it's increasing hostility towards the religious wing.
This causes the religious wing to splinter off and become incredibly fundamental initially around Ronald Reagan before coalescing a rallying cry centered around Baptist Minister David Koresh. His Presidency would see the atomic bombing of Iraq during the second gulf war and the first of four crusades to the Middle East and India.
He would increasingly see himself preordained by god himself to follow on his sacred mission, known only to a select few advisors. Increasingly growing paranoid after several assassination attempts by atheists, he would spend most of his time either in the White House of traveling via armored convoy to Mount Carmel.
His Policies would include the need to call another constitutional convention, first by giving himself the power to suspend the constitution until another convention was called. In the hot summer of 1999, over nine hundred delegates gathered in the capitol, all handpicked and vetted by Koresh himself. It declared the united states to be a Christian nation, establish the Police of the Gates, a religious secret police that would ensure absolute loyalty to Koresh.
After Purging more of the zealous types, the american people were fed up with it, culminating in New York Governor Donald Trump officially declaring the 2nd American Union in 2001. Soon, most of the northeastern united states broke rank with the Koresh government, recognizing the authority of Trump. The only areas of the united states which remained unwavering loyal to him were much of the southern united states and bits of the western united states.
The 2nd American Civil War lasted from 2001 to 2008, resulting in the atomic bombing of New York City, Washington DC, Orlando, San Francisco, San Diego, Boston, St. Louis and Denver. Millions were killed in the ensuing fireballs and resulting famine. Koresh himself would meet his end after he was killed when his convoy was ambushed while en route to Mount Carmel in mid April. The UN nations would intervene in the United State's civil war, officially backing the Western American Republic in the conflict. The End Result was the Ceasefire of Paris signed in 2009, officially breaking the former United States up into Five new countries.

The First Third Party Candidate in over a hundred years, David Koresh swept into office with a frustration with the increasing dominance of the republican party and it's increasing hostility towards the religious wing.
This causes the religious wing to splinter off and become incredibly fundamental initially around Ronald Reagan before coalescing a rallying cry centered around Baptist Minister David Koresh. His Presidency would see the atomic bombing of Iraq during the second gulf war and the first of four crusades to the Middle East and India.
He would increasingly see himself preordained by god himself to follow on his sacred mission, known only to a select few advisors. Increasingly growing paranoid after several assassination attempts by atheists, he would spend most of his time either in the White House of traveling via armored convoy to Mount Carmel.
His Policies would include the need to call another constitutional convention, first by giving himself the power to suspend the constitution until another convention was called. In the hot summer of 1999, over nine hundred delegates gathered in the capitol, all handpicked and vetted by Koresh himself. It declared the united states to be a Christian nation, establish the Police of the Gates, a religious secret police that would ensure absolute loyalty to Koresh.
After Purging more of the zealous types, the american people were fed up with it, culminating in New York Governor Donald Trump officially declaring the 2nd American Union in 2001. Soon, most of the northeastern united states broke rank with the Koresh government, recognizing the authority of Trump. The only areas of the united states which remained unwavering loyal to him were much of the southern united states and bits of the western united states.
The 2nd American Civil War lasted from 2001 to 2008, resulting in the atomic bombing of New York City, Washington DC, Orlando, San Francisco, San Diego, Boston, St. Louis and Denver. Millions were killed in the ensuing fireballs and resulting famine. Koresh himself would meet his end after he was killed when his convoy was ambushed while en route to Mount Carmel in mid April. The UN nations would intervene in the United State's civil war, officially backing the Western American Republic in the conflict. The End Result was the Ceasefire of Paris signed in 2009, officially breaking the former United States up into Five new countries.

In a world where the president, for hook or by crook, never ends up cruising around Dallas, JFK goes into '64 choosing to kick LBJ off the ticket, replacing him with another southern populist with a 'B' in the middle name. In an act of petty vengeance, Johnson leans on his connections in congress to start leaking all of Kennedy's various infidelities and vices to the press in a slow trickle. The thing with Marilyn Monroe, the thing where the mafia brought votes, that thing with Judith Exner, all the pills he's souped up on, that thing with Inga Arvad, allllll those white house interns? All out in the open. With his wife publically divorcing him, congress on his heels like baying hounds and camelot left in tatters, Kennedy takes his car out for a drive, parks on the side of a road, and becomes acquainted with the taste of a service revolver.
Hilarity, for lack of a better word, ensues.

An Abstract Sort Of Hell:
Owen Jones had never been the type of man to keep quiet. Ever since he was just a teenager, he could never just turn a blind eye to something he saw as unjust. He couldn't just look away as the far-right attacked Arab migrants in the streets, or as the Tories destroyed the lives of the average working Briton. He had to say something; he had to do something. Often, when he wasn't giving a speech calling to intervene in the United States at the U.N, or rallying the Labour caucus to vote for one of his various pet projects, Jones would debate with himself whether or not it was a good thing that he didn't know how to keep his mouth shut. His tendency to talk was what had gotten him shot, twice and his mouth had nearly landed him in his late mentor's position; in a grave, a stress induced heart attack taking the fire right out of him. But, his refusal to bow down to the elites had what had allowed him to come this far. To become elected to parliament, eventually elected Prime Minister, and finally to become one of the greatest leaders the United Kingdom had seen in generations; God, if only Jeremy could see him now. No, it was a good thing that he never learned when to shut up, Jones often concluded. His voice was what let him do all the good that he had done.
Which is why the situation in America was so distressing to the Prime Minister.
Jones had watched the situation in the United States deteriorate from London. When he had first been elected to Parliament, the Biden Administration was just beginning to see it's worst days. The American economy had collapsed as the Second Great Depression swept the country, all while the ever worsening effects of climate change ravaged the coasts and countryside. Unemployment, homelessness, famine, and all the other worst side affects of the depression plauged the country. To make matters worse, the ruling coalition, the Democrats and the rebellious Progressives, were at each others throats, making any sort of solution to the crisis impossible. The Republicans weren't doing much better for themselves, embroiled in an internal civil war between the party's various different factions that had eventually seen the liberals come out on top. In this atmosphere, many Americans turned to radical solutions to save their families. Possibly the most radical of these was the far-right America First Party. Across the ocean, Jones and many others observed nervously as the AFP gained traction in the lead up to the 2024 American election. By March of 2024, the AFP was polling in third and second place, depending on the poll, either just behind or just ahead of Charlie Baker's Republicans. At that point, there was a very real fear, both at home and abroad, that the American First Party may actually win the election. Unfortunately, there wasn't much that Jones, or anyone else really, could do. The young MP was busy furiously working away with the rest of the Labour Party to fix the depression in the United Kingdom. Jones could only hope that the Progressives, led by the ever popular Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, would defeat the AFP.
As history would show, this was not the case. The "fascist compromise", as members of the resistance would later dub it, between the AFP and the Republicans saw the AFP swept into power, albeit with a Republican Vice President; This wouldn't save Charlie Baker and other mainstream conservatives from getting swept up in the purges, of course, but that wasn't part of the deal now, was it?
From there it only got worse. The crackdowns, the uprisings, the suspension of elections. It was a classic descent to fascism happening right in front of the world's eyes and noone was doing anything about it. Really noone could do anything about it. The American regime still had one of the largest stockpiles of nuclears weapons on the planet and the AFP's stalwarts made it clear that they were more than happy to use them on anyone who interfered. So noone dared interfere. And that was just the way it was for several years. Certainly, there was almost universal condemnation of the American rigeme, but no actual substantive action against the injustices being committed on the American people were ever taken.
Owen Jones planned to change that when he was elected Prime Minister.
Jones had gotten caught up trying to fix the worst effects of the crash during his early years in parliament, but after Corbyn died suddenly in the summer of 2026 and his successor Cooper was defeated in the 2027 Snap Election, he suddenly found himself without a preoccupation. Still on the Labour backbenches, Jones, along with his colleague and friend Ash Shakar, dedicated much of his time attempting to rally British support for the American resistance. He found these efforts largely fruitless, as few in the United Kingdom had the desire to provoke the rigeme in Washington, ecspecially with the Tories in Westminster. His frustration at the reluctance of the International community to intervene in the United States was one of the driving forces behind Jones' descion to run for Prime Minister and during his campaign, he made support for the "true American patriots" front and center in his rehetoric. When he was actually elected, however, Jones found it to be a far more complicated task then he had anticipated. Most nations were still very reluctant to give any sort of aid to the American rebels for fear of the nuclear hellfire the regime could reign down upon them. When Jones would bring up the idea of a international intervention in private talks with his fellow European leaders, he would often be laughed out of the room. They already had President Zuhkov and the Chinese breathing down their necks, why would they risk starting a global nuclear war over a nation that was slowly turning into a third world backwater? Even Jones' pleas to the moral sensibilities of his colleagues often failed. Sure, most world leaders would express sorrow or sympathy when the Prime Minister would show them the photos his agents in America had gathered of the wretched conditions of it's citizens, but in the end, they wouldn't budge. They had to think of their people first.
Frustrated, Jones would continue to do whatever he could to secretly help the American resistance, utilizing the good will he had built up with the British public through his successful domestic program to assist the Americans in any way possible. Between the start of Jones' Ministry in 2032 and the middle of his second in 2037, the United Kingdom would accept thousands of American refugees, provide shelter for dozens of political exiles, and, secretly of course, use the British foreign intelligence apparatus to communicate with and arm resistance groups like the White Rose. However, by 2037, Jones' efforts began to seem fruitless. The White Rose had suffered several major setbacks, including the arrest of one of their brightest military minds, General Brace Belden and their strength had been diminished severely as a consequence. The American regime seemed to be in a stronger position then ever and to make matters worse for the Prime Minister, the faith of the British public had began to diminish. It got to a point where Jones began to seriously consider pulling all of his assests out of America.
Then the Sloan report was put on his desk.
Jesse Sloan was an agent of MI-5, one of the many Jones had dispatched to the United States. Sloan in particular had been placed in an advisory role for the White Rose, effectively serving as a de-facto ambassador between London and the American resistance at the same time. In September, Sloan, at the time working with one of the larger White Rose cells in Detroit, bore witness to the return of Brace Belden. As Sloan described it an older woman who was "bloody loony, but alright otherwise" found the White Rose hide out in the Detroit sewers and simply walked in, armed to the teeth. While the resistance fighters were, naturally, prepared to gun the woman down, believing she may have been an FSB agent or government contractor hired to flush out the Detroit cell, a bruised and battered Brace Belden stepped out from behind her and ordered the fighters to stand down. Obviously shocked and confused, Belden informed his allies that this woman, who he identified simply as "Marianne", had broken him, as well as about a dozen other White Rose members, out of the infamous Rocky Mountain Hilton several days prior. Again, the fighters were shocked, as they hadn't heard about any strike at the Rocky Mountain Hilton, even through the official government channels they monitored. According to Sloan's report, Belden gave a devious smile that "only Belden could ever wear right" and simply said "yeah, there might be a fucking reason for that" before turning to the commanding officer of the base and requesting a conference with the other "big six" White Rose leaders. Sloan was also invited and asked to relate the details of the conference back to London. Said conference was the primary reason for Sloan's report. Apparently, while in prison, Belden and several other prisoners had began to devise a plan to start a national uprising in the United States. While Belden accepted that the uprising wouldn't likely succeed in overthrowing the rigeme, it was his hope that the resistance could use it as cover to sieze the majority of the rigeme's nuclear stockpile, hopefully spurring an international mission, led by the U.N, to liberate the United States. Belden already had the first stage of the operation planned out and the rest of the White Rose leadership had agreed to go forward with his plan; now, they wanted conformation that London would stand by them when the time came.
This was the moment Jones had been waiting for.
Ecstatic, he called a meeting of the cabinet. After hours of discussion, most of the cabinet, including Secretaries Sakar and Sanders, agreed to support Jones.
Six hours later, Jones contacted Sloan on a private channel; "Sloan, this is the Prime Minister speaking. Tell Belden were in; London will stand with the White Rose".
