I Am Inevitable
SCP-7893 is an interdimensional anomaly observed across most dimensions possessing a version of the United States or rough geopolitical equivalent. SCP-7893 has been documented in 75% of universes meeting this criteria. SCP-7893 refers to the phenomenon by which the dominant North American democratic or pseudo-democratic political body will have its leadership in the period from 2009 to 2017 carried out by Barack Obama, with Joe Biden as his Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister or equivalent role. In 95% of observed iterations, SCP-7893 leads to Obama's faction being known as the Democrats, Democratic Party or similar naming convention despite totally altered circumstances (for instance in the list below, where the term 'Democratic Party' is closely associated with Aaron Burr's dictatorial reign).

Below is a list of presidents from Timeline 1789-BF-003, a world where the US diverged from mainline history from the immediate aftermath of the ratification of the US Constitution and experienced numerous party realignments, authoritarian leaders and coup attempts that nevertheless saw Obama hold the presidency from 2009 to 2017.

[1]McKinley's survival influences the 1904 election. He ends up picking Mark Hanna, who avoids the fever that kills him due to the butterfly effect. Parker, though not as exciting as T.R in this or our timeline, is considered a virtuous man who seems energized by the elderly Hanna and an answer for change. For this, he manages to win the 1904 election ITTL. Davis' funding remains important, and his age helps Parker with the "experience"
[2]T.R has waited time to take advantage of his strength of personality, and manages to convince the party he's the best shot against Parker. Though a competent administrator, T.R capitalizes on having a superior foreign experience. He manages to win himself the presidency, and keep the guard for a whole eight years. He attempts to make the Republicans the party of progressivism, with mixed results.
[3]During the 1912 election, Eugene Debs proves an attractive third party. Hearst is a "weapon" of sorts against T.R, a maverick to fight another maverick, but this fails. Roosevelt switches his ailing veep with the affable Harding
[4]Clark lives a bit longer, but death still comes around the same time. Foss is an important economic figure, benefiting from Clark's popularity, the resolution of the Great War. As such, Foss, is the first accidental president to become president on his own terms. Afterwards, the Republicans win back the presidency, and we get more of a political pendulum going. However it's hard to tell at this point who'd be chosen, so I'm stopping with Foss. Bryan's brother is picked for name recognition

2016 American Federal Election:

While she has served a productive and relatively successful eight years as President of the United States, President Jill Stein is in preparing to exit the white house as the final year of her administration begins. While the President focuses on wrapping up her tour of Japan, the first stages of the election that many have said will be a referendum on her presidency have began.

With Vice President Barber declining to run, wishing to return to the clergy instead, several other candidates have announced their intent to run for the Democratic Nomination. Right now, the frontrunner seems to be former professional mixed martial artist and current Wisconsin Senator Jagmeet Singh. Singh, a traditional progressive Democrat in the vein of President Stein, is one of the most prominent Sikh-American politicians in the country and is currently the only Sikh Senator in the United States congress. The young Wisconsin Senator has created a unique style for himself that has helped him stick out among his colleagues, combining hipster fashion with a kind of Midwestern populist charm. With his platform focused on protecting and building upon the successes of the Stein Presidency, Senator Singh is running with the support of many members of the Administration, with some on capitol hill even believing that President Stein is quietly supporting the Sikh Wunderkind. However, not everyone is as supportive of Stein's Administration as Singh is and naturally, the more dissatisfied members of the Administration have put forward their own candidates. Chief among these is former General Tulsi Gabbard and West Virginia Governor Crate Goodwin. General Gabbard is one of the last of the so-called "Jackson Democrats", a more interventionist leaning faction within the party who view the peacenik politics of candidates like Stein and Singh as unacceptable in a age where the Soviet Union has continued to expand it's influence. In particular, Gabbard, a former General and veteran of the 2010 U.N Peacekeeping Operation in Egypt, has been a prominent critic of President Stein's moves towards reconciliation with the Soviets. Gabbard isn't alone either; the 2012 Strategic Weapons, Arms, and Personal (S.W.A.P) Treaty, signed between the United States and the Soviet Union, was one of the more controversial points of Stein's presidency, especially considering the following expansion of Soviet peacekeeping operations in Iraq and Syria in the aftermath of the treaty. General Gabbard, also relatively young, is running with the support of the party's interventionists and social conservatives, which has been a point of controversy for her campaign. West Virginia's Governor Goodwin, meanwhile, has a personal beef with the Stein Administration over her promotion of the expansion of renewable energy sources and environmental protections, which Goodwin has not necessarily untruthfully claimed has cost the region vital jobs in the coal industry. As Governor, Goodwin made headlines with his successful program to lure large tech start-ups to the state, although these jobs are nowhere near as good paying or unionized as coal jobs, which Goodwin himself is quick to admit. Goodwin has earned the support of some of the more conservative unions and has also garnered a sort of cult like following in his native Appalachia and some areas of the south, although he has struggled to expand outside of these regions.

Outside of the "big three" there are also a few smaller Democrats running. Vermont's popular Senator Chris Hedges is essentially the polar opposite of Governor Goodwin in the sense that he is one of the few members of the Democratic Party who believe Stein's environmental legislation didn't go far enough. Hedges is also one of the few openly socialist members of the Democratic Party and subsequently is fairly popular within the more left-leaning circles within the party. Notably, Hedges is the one of the founders of the Congressional Left Libertarian Caucus and has been the chair of the group since 2014. However, Hedges isn't likely to gain much traction outside of these circles, as his platform consisting of nationalizing the energy sector and placing several major industries under control of direct democratic worker's councils is a bit fringe even for the most progressive figures within the party. Representative Nina Turner may have the exact opposite problem that Senator Hedges has, being embroiled within so much controversy that she has become a pretty prominent figure in American political life recently. Turner has been a well known figure since her first run for the House of Representatives back in 2012, when she became hated by many and loved by many others for her claims that the Stein Administration wasn't doing enough to address the growing issue of police brutality against African Americans. Since then, Turner has become a divisive figure within congress, being a noted advocate for causes that are generally out of the mainstream for the party, which often just draws more controversy, although it has endeared her to many within the radical factions of the Democrats. This year, Turner is running on a platform that emphasizes both a commitment to addressing police brutality and a promise to uphold and further the advances made by the Democrats on the economic front, although, like Hedges, she is unlikely to gain traction outside of her block of committed supporters.

With the Democrats fighting over their nomination, the Republicans, in typical fashion, are doing the same. Currently, there are two candidates in the lead for the Republican nomination, each representing to distinct factions of the party. The first is Former Governor Bernadette Castro of New York, the former running mate of 2012 Republican Candidate Micheal Colley. Although Castro lost her narrowly lost her run for reelection in 2014 to Democratic Law Professor Tim Wu in what was considered one of the biggest political upsets of the year, the now former Governor of New York, a moderate conservative with a long list of accomplishments in her home state, has remained both active and popular in the Republican Party. Her platform has also attracted a very diverse base of supporters, with her support for tax cuts, the partial privatization of the newly created "Family Wage" program, and the expansion of so-called "Sin Taxes" on things like alcohol and pornography bringing traditional conservatives into the fold while her police reform proposals, including a pledge to make all police wear body cameras at all times, has earned her supporters in the more libertarian leaning constituencies of the party. Her primary opponent and fellow New Yorker is Brooklyn Mayor Donald Trump Jr., the son of the late real estate magnate Donald Trump Sr. and the standard bearer of the Nationalist faction of the Republican Party. Trump is one of the Republican Party's most controversial major figures, famous for making cringy, borderline racist and sexist remarks and his political views aren't much cleaner. Mayor Trump was one of the most prominent voices against the legalization of same-sex marriage and has been a notable advocate of anti-immigrant policies, which have become a major plank of his platform. These proposals have gained him supporters among truly the worst parts of his party and the Mayor has refused to denounce these supporters despite calls from fellow Republican leaders to do so. At the moment, it is a tight race between these two, although Castro holds a slight lead due to her support among the libertarian West, which is no doubt due to her support from libertarians like New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson and California Senator Jim Gray. Right now, many Republicans are holding their breath as they wait to see whether their party will stand any chance against the far more popular and far better positioned Democrats.

They Live: Let's Wait A Bit, Why Won't We?

Harding still dies, but it happens a couple years later and the vacation actually helps him stabilize instead of expedite his end. This ignores the rumors and conspiracies he was poisoned, and assumes like FDR it was mainly stress of the job. Which is why I'm a bit hesitant. Things don't start having a major change until the 1932 election. This timeline has some parallels to our own, but that wasn't my intention, at least at first.

29(first term): Warren G Harding/Calvin Coolidge(March 4 1921-March 4 1925)[1]
-Election of 1924: Warren G Harding/Calvin Coolidge(Republican) vs Al Smith/Charles W Bryan(Democrat) vs Robert M.La Follette Sr/Burton K Wheeler(Progressive)

30(first term): Calvin Coolidge(July 23 1926-March 4 1929)[3]
-Election of 1928: Calvin Coolidge/Charles Curtis(Republican) vs Walter F George/Joseph T Robinson(Democrat)
30(second term): Calvin Coolidge/Charles Curtis(March 4 1929-March 4 1933)[4]
-Election of 1932: Herbert Hoover/Theodore Roosevelt Jr(Republican) vs Al Smith/Albert Ritchie(Democrat)
31(first term): Al Smith(March 4 1933-January 20 1937)/Albert Ritchie*(March 4 1933-February 24 1936)[5]
-Election of 1936: Al Smith/Huey Long(Democrat) vs William Borah/Alf Landon(Republican)
31(second term): Al Smith/Huey Long(January 20 1937-January 20 1941)[6]
-Election of 1940: Huey Long/Cordell Hull(Democrat) vs Theodore Roosevelt Jr/Thomas Dewey(Republican)
32(first term): Huey Long/Cordell Hull(January 20 1941-January 20 1945)
-Election of 1944: Huey Long/Cordell Hull(Democrat) vs Thomas Dewey/Everett Dirksen(Republican)

[1]While scandal does break out, Harding is not a Nixon and restores some public favor by denouncing the corrupt members of his cabinet. As the country is going well, people are more willing to forgive him and he manages to be renominated. Coolidge, who was clean and is a pleasant fellow, is kept without much fuss. However Follette's Progressive movements is more successful than in our timeline, though he doesn't win. Al Smith manages to be nominated
[2]Harding, not Coolidge, is recognized as the symbol of the Roaring 20s. This becomes more clear with his genial yet sleazy personality, and by his death its an open secret he was a philanderer(if it wasn't already IOTL before his reputation tanked). Tongues wagged more once his wife passed away and evidence showed he was paying child support to his mistress. And like Coolidge, he's equal parts underrated and overrated. Much like Grant, an important act of this Harding was making take-downs of the KKK that Coolidge finished after his death.
[3]Coolidge inherited a lot of the goodwill of Harding, without his scandalous lifestyle. So similar to OTL. However the difference here is that the death of his son from blood poisoning brought by soccer is butterflied away. And as he hasn't had any term, he is fine with running come 1928. However he faces a different opponent than Smith, who is declining this time around and is plotting a comeback in 1932.
[4]Coolidge gets blame for the recession, though it isn't as bad as our timeline. Hoover, the miracle man, is picked and proves a powerful figure. However he loses to Governor Smith in a slim margin. FDR was considered, but in this timeline he loses a narrow gubernational election to his own cousin, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Thinks he can pull his dad's career path here. 1932 is remembered as one of those legendarily close elections, and many were surprised Smith was able to become president. He is the first Catholic president, not Kennedy)
[5]Smith had a good two terms. However Ritchie died. He needs a conservative veep...however he's also worried about if something happens to him, as in 1934 he had an attempt on his life by an anti-catholic man. And Joe Kennedy wouldn't help the anti-Catholic bias. Ultimately, as a gambit to depower Huey Long as a rival, he convinces him to be his veep
[6]If Smith hoped to depower Long, it failed. WW2 had started. Long was a powerful voice and a hero to many. Smith stubbornly tried to hold onto office for a third term. Ultimately, Long beat his own president for the nomination, and because there was a war on, he was a trusted and strong figure for the country
[7]Long was a hero to many. He helped defeat the Nazi menace. And yet over time he behaved more and more dictatorial. An "ends justify the means" kind of guy, and by most measures they did. However as he broke with constitutional law, flaring up with connections to a voting scandal in the 1944 election, Long was suspect to impeachment charges. However some believe he had the clout to avoid facing it. This was the motivation for his assassin, who stated "America has elected their Caesar. And he deserves Caeser's fate". In a parallel to the Lincoln assassination, he was a Hollywood actor named Ronnie Reagan(don't think this is a slight against him, I just thought it'd be a fun indicator of how butterflied some figures have become). Long remains a controversial, but iconic figure similar to Andrew Jackson. A popular conspiracy theory is that Huey Long, magnificent bastard that he is, hired Reagan to shoot him so he avoids impeachment and becomes a martyr at the same time
[8]The unassuming Cordell would become president, and work to eliminate the more dictatorial policies of Long while also protecting his legacy and keeping the country sane. And he had to deal with Stalin, to boot. Ultimately, he wasn't able to hold on like Truman did. Instead, the next president and Eisenhower analogue is George Marshall. That's right Pennsylvania, forget Buchanan because you have a great president from your home state ITTL.

[1]POD is that Lincoln decides to stick as a plain old Republican, and doesn't pull a Southern Democrat on the ticket. Andrew Johnson remains Military Governor of Tennessee and enjoys a decent legacy among the state in the modern era. However Lincoln performs poorer than OTL, though he obviously still wins
[2]Hamlin pursues the kind of Reconstruction that Lincoln hoped to, given their similar beliefs. While often attributed to the deceased president, Hamlin is respected by historians for "preserving Lincoln's dream". This, and his successor, help prevent stuff like Jim Crow, though there is still quite a bit of bigotry in the south. Civil rights comes about at least 40 years earlier than IOTL, though that's just my estimation.
[3]Grant wins against Hamlin in the primaries, because why wouldn't he? Look at the man, he is awesome. He continues those positive reconstruction policies but you still can't avoid the corruption of his "buddies". The Liberal Republicans pick a better candidate, and perform better, but still lose. Wilson avoids the stroke that eventually claimed his life. I picked Adams as a candidate because he performed second to Greeley, and it would certainly be a peace of history to see someone with clear memories of his grandfather, John freaking Adams!
[4]Here's where the real changes on the president list go. Like OTL, the Democrats have been making gains. But this time, they win, and the Election of 1876 is an honest one(well, as much as it can be one in this era). Blaine is chosen, so no darkhorse. Tilden is a reformer, the first Democrat since Jackson to win re-election, though given the general obscurity of Gilded Age politics in the modern era isn't that remembered. Some might say he's underrated. Guiteau, he's still nuts but the impetus for his insane troll logic isn't there so he remains just some weirdo
[5]I think Blaine can pull a comeback, he was a serious contender in two primaries before he got the win IOTL. The railroad scandal is butterflied away. Cleveland hasn't been affected much at this point, but he pulls a Clinton and gets someone who served in the military to stop the draft dodger arguments. However, I was a bit mean and had some figure disgruntled with the business end of America blame and kill the president. Of course, with the Secret Service not assigned to protect the president until 1901 IOTL, it's sort of tempting fate innit?
[6]The timing couldn't be worse for Hawley, and many conspiracy theories broke out about how, about to be replaced, he put the disgruntled employee up to the murder of the president. Ultimately, Morton is able to make an argument of him being the person who should be president, and though he can't supplicate Hawley, he does manage to win the primaries. But he loses to the Democrats

[Comrade Izaac]

A Radical(ly) Different Path or Izaac Hates New Democrats:

Where A Few of Our Timeline's Major Figures Are At This Point In The TL:

Joe Biden: Senator from Delaware during the 70s and early 80s who lost his race against a more left-leaning Democrat in 1984 and bitterly decided to join the Independent Democratic ticket of Loyd Bensten as his running mate in 88'. Has been in the political wilderness since then, although his son Hunter Biden is currently the Lt. Governor of Delaware. His other son Beau recently died of cancer and Biden has subsequently become a major advocate of cancer cure research.

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders: The former Independent mayor of Burlington, congressman from Vermont, and the Secretary of the Interior under President Nader. He is nowhere near as well known as he is in our TL, but he is still pretty respected among circles that do know of him, especially in his home state. Right now, Sanders is serving as the de-facto campaign manager of the Gubernatorial Run of his wife, Jane Sanders.

Elizabeth "Lizzy" Warren: A big name in academia turned Republican Congresswoman from Texas. She's a pretty famous advocate of market liberal economics, although she has a soft spot for consumer advocacy and she was one of the principle authors of the Consumers' Rights Act in 2010. Her name has been floated around by the Texas State Republican Party as a potential candidate to face controversial Democratic Governor Alex Jones in the upcoming gubernatorial election there in 2018, although she has largely shown little interest in the position.

Pete Buttgieg: Current chief of staff to Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana and a former United States Marine Corps officer. Buttgieg has a reputation for being a deeply wonky and technocratic, but also highly effective staffer and he is being headhunted for a position as the Indiana State Director of the Gabbard Campaign.

Kamala Harris: The current District Attorney for San Francisco. Harris is deeply despised by many within the police reform community, as she has a tendency to side with the police in cases even where there is clear evidence of wrong doing by law enforcement. She is currently in the middle of an ongoing feud with the reformist mayor of San Francisco Jane Kim and it's a pretty poorly kept secret that Kim has been attempting to recruit a challenger to Harris.

Beto O'Rourke: Independent soft rock and new age punk artist currently living in New York City, where he has a pretty significant following. Alot of O'Rourke's music deals with his struggles with drug abuse and alcoholism, which has struck a chord in an era where drug abuse is becoming a prominent issue. Many experts in the music industry predict that O'Rourke will only grow in popularity over the next several years.

Andrew Yang: A largely unknown and struggling businessman from New York. For the past six years, Yang has been trying to get some sort of business off the ground in the rapidly expanding tech industry, with little success. He has been highly critical of New York Governor Tim Wu for the high corporate tax rate he has implemented and Yang even penned an opinion piece in the New York Times recently blaming Wu's tax rate for stifling innovation and business start-ups in New York.

Barrack "Barry" Obama: Former State Senator and current Governor from Hawaii. Noted for his education reform proposals which cut drop out rates in the state of Hawaii in half. Narrowly lost out on the position of Secretary of Education, although he is expected to serve in some influential role in the next Democratic Administration.

Donald J. Trump (Deceased): Formerly a highly successful businessman and reality TV show host who was diagnosed with and later died from prostate cancer. Trump's son, Donald J. Trump Jr., is currently the Mayor of Brooklyn and is mounting a campaign for president on an anti-immigrant, pro-militarist platform. His daughter is also rumored to be pursuing politics.

Micheal "Mike" Pence: Formerly a notoriously homophobic state congressman turned queer rights activists after developing a friendship with prominent gay labor activist Say Rosselli. Pence currently hosts "Secular Talk", a noted left-wing talk show where he interviews prominent left-wing leaders like the young New York Congressman Kyle Kulinski and Wisconsin Governor Tammy Baldwin, one of the only openly gay politicians in the country.

Mitch McConnell: United States Senator from Kentucky and one of the longest serving senators in the Republican caucus. Has held a variety of leadership roles in the Senate, including his current position of Senate Minority Whip. Has drawn a bit of controversy to himself by supporting the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump Jr, although McConnell is largely doing it as a political calculation.

Paul Ryan: Representative from Wisconsin. Formerly a well known Janesville businessman and prominent Republican donor who was recruited to run for his seat by the State Republican Party. Ryan is currently the Wisconsin State Director of the Castro campaign and it's suspected that Ryan is eyeing a cabinet position in a potential Castro Administration.

Mitt Romney: The son of former Michigan Governor George Romney and the former Chair of the Michigan State Republican Party, Romney is a businessman who is heavily involved in Michigan state politics. The State Party has been trying to convince Romney to challenge the deeply unpopular Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is facing a primary challenge from State Health Director Abdul El Sayed. Romney, who is very politically ambitious, may just take up the Party's offer.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Professor of Economics at the University of Boston and former aide to Senator Ted Kennedy and current Senator Edward Markey. Ocasio-Cortez is somewhat infamous in academia for being one of the only open socialists in her field. There have been rumors floating around Washington that Ocasio-Cortez will be joining the campaign of Chris Hedges as chief economic adviser.

Nancy Pelosi: Former Congresswoman from California, unseated in one of the most divisive primary races of 2000 by then State Senator Peter Camejo, the current occupant of the seat. Pelosi was hired as the CFO of the Amerigroup Banking Company shortly after her reelection loss, a position that she has served in since.

Sarah Palin: Conspiracy theorist and perennial candidate for Governor of Alaska. Palin has recently been placed on the no-fly list after a threat to fight an air marshal back in 2014. Palin is thinking about running a long shot campaign for the House of Representatives at the moment.

Cory Booker: Mayor of Newark, New Jersey and prominent supporter of the presidental campaign of Jagmeet Singh. Is somewhat controversial within the Democratic Party due to his support for charter schools, which President Stein is a prominent opponent of.

All Men Must Die: The Shadow Of The Bull Moose

Forgive me, but it would be amiss if in my "All Men Must Die" list I ignore this close call of a car accident, just because it's T.R. There was a fatality OTL, let's be fair

25(second term): William McKinley**/Theodore Roosevelt(March 4 1901-September 14 1901)
26(first term): Theodore Roosevelt*(September 14 1901-September 3 1902)[1]
26(acting president): John Milton Hay(September 3 1902-March 4 1904)
-Election of 1903: Mark Hanna/Charles Fairbanks(Republican) vs William Jennings Bryan/Henry G Davis(Democrat)[2]
27(first term): Mark Hanna/Charles Fairbanks(March 4 1904-March 4 1908)[3]
-Election of 1907: Charles Fairbanks/James S Sherman(Republican) vs William Randolph Hearst/John W Kern(Democrat) vs Eugene V Debs/Benjamin Hanford(Socialist)
28(first term): William Randolph Hearst/John W Kern(March 4 1908-March 4 1912)[4]
-Election of 1911: William Randolph Hearst/Thomas R Marshall(Democrat) vs Henry Cabot Lodge/Warren G Harding(Republican) vs Eugene W Chaftin/Aaron S Watkins(Prohibition)
29(first term): Henry Cabot Lodge/Warren G Harding(March 4 1912-March 4 1916)
-Election of 1915: Henry Cabot Lodge/Warren G Harding(Republican) vs Judson Harmon/Martin J Wade(Democrat) vs Frank Hanley/Ira Landrith(Prohibition)
29(second term): Henry Cabot Lodge/Warren G Harding(March 4 1916-March 4 1920)
-Election of 1919: Hiram Johnson/Herbert Hoover(Republican) vs Oscar Underwood/Gilbert Hitchcock(Democrat) vs Eugene V Debs/Seymour Stedman(Socialist)
30(first term): Oscar Underwood/Gilbert Hitchcock(March 4 1920-March 4 1924)
-Election of 1923: Oscar Underwood/Charles W Bryan(Democrat) vs William Borah/Warren G Harding(Republican)
30(second term): Oscar Underwood/Charles W Bryan(March 4 1924-March 4 1928)

[1]The Pittsfield accident proves fatal for T.R, rather than his secret service agent. Already rather popular, T.R's death is considered serious lost potential, a martyr for the progressive cause. But Mark Hanna finds this the perfect opportunity for his own run.
[2]Hay was considered, but he had never recovered over the death of his son even if he was the stronger candidate to Hanna. Hanna was the last of the McKinley era, who had already planned to primary T.R and now had no-one really stopping him. Bryan felt that he would be able to win this time, now that he wasn't going up against T.R or McKinley. However it was a fatal overestimation that costs the Democrats the win, and would take him out of the running
[3]Already, there was talk of "the McKinley curse". McKinley had lost his daughters when they were young, both his vice presidents died under the age of 60. However the butterfly effect prevents Mark Hanna from catching the typhoid that killed him. Instead he lives, however he declines a second term because he's getting on in years. Instead, he pushes for his vice president Fairbanks. However the new Democratic choice proves much more exciting, and people are getting tired of same old, same old. The Socialist Party has a decent showing
[4]Master of yellow journalism, with Bryan considered no longer viable Hearst jumped on the chance and became president. Rather controversial and undeniable sensationalist, the acclaimed Democratic progressive would duel with the good friend of T.R, Henry Cabot Lodge. He won, becoming a hugely popular president, who eventually saw America face the Great War.
