Thank You, There are some errors because MLK Jr. Bernie Sanders and Sameul Lee Jackson wouldn't be alive, if Axis Powers win World War 2 since Nazis were Evil Genocidal Racist Scums.
I think the implication is they survived because they participated in the guerrilla resistance movement and were thus not captured and killed.

That's right. Martin Luther King Jr was seventeen in 1946 and his father, as ambassador of American Baptist Church, visited Nazi Germany in 1934 and widely condemned it, so they were well aware of Nazi danger and ITTL they take precautions. Samuel Lee Jackson was born in 1948 and ITTL joined the Black Panthers (he came very near to do it IOTL but was prevented by his mother, under FBI advice). He is more exposed but we have to consider that, according to Hitler, the blacks hadn't to be exterminated immediately but instead forced in slavery for the master race until they were not unuseful and then exterminated, but with the Cold War with Japanese ongoing a total wipeout of Black population, in America as in Africa, didn't happen. Many millions are killed or never born but the blacks don't disappeared from the face of Earth. I explained why Sanders's family was aware of Nazi threat and choses to escape in time from New York. A large part of American Jewish population will be hunted and killed but some Jews survive as a part of Polish Jewish Population survived IOTL for example.

Even Jews were Enslaved by the Nazi Scums as well and look how many Jews were perished, Fate of Blacks under Axis Victory would be similar what the Nazis did to Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, LGBTQ+ and etc. Hitler wanted people who considered inferior to be exterminated through Enslavement, Hitler was a Evil Racist Genocidal Scumbag and he can not be trusted.

Yes there would be Jews who would live underground and hide their identity just like Solomon Perel did, you're right Bernie might have hide their identity to avoid being enslaved and killed.

Since when is a centrist a man who wants to ban birth control, "reeducate" gay kids, and called John F. Kennedy a monster of secularlism?
Maybe Frothy ITTL has different views. After all, he did come from a family of Italian Communists, so maybe he ends up having less conservative views.

U.S. FIRST LADIES

1961-1965: Claudia Alta “Lady Bird” Taylor, D-TX (b. 1912)

The groundbreaking Lady Bird was the first White House hostess to hold the Bible during her husband’s inauguration (starting a tradition), to have her own Press Secretary, to interact directly with Congress (contributing to the passing of the 1962 Civil Rights Act by meeting with lawmakers who refused to meet with her husband), and to serve as a US Ambassador (to the UK, under President Mondale, 1973-1975). A staunch advocate for “beautifying” America’s cities and highways led to the passage of the Highway Beautification Act, and her positive demeanor was a pleaseant distraction from her husband’s bungling of warfare in Cuba. With Lyndon, Lady Bird had two daughter, Lynda Bird Johnson (b. 1944) and Luci Baines Johnson (b. 1947).

1965-1973: Claudia Ellen Ledington Price, R-KY (b. 1902)
The first divorcé to serve as First Lady since Florence Harding, Claudia was the mother of Elvis Ray Price (b. 1926) and stepmother of the Colonel’s children from his marriage to Josephine King (1888-1975): Margaret (b. 1911), an entrepreneur and businesswoman; Harley (b. 1912), a WWII veteran, businessman, and politician; and Mildred (b. 1919), a philanthropist and businesswoman. Claudia, as First Lady, was noticeably less active than her predecessor, but nevertheless promoted music, art preservation, food programs, and young children’s education programs. During hosting duties, Claudia would usually play the piano, and often worked with the President and the White House kitchen staff to prepare meals for the guests. Claudia’s biggest impact, though, would have to be her redecoration of the White House interior, blending traditional styles from across the country.

1973-1981: Joan Adams, D-MN (b. 1930)
“Joan of Art” got her nickname for her promotion of artworks ranging from modern American to traditional Asian. With this in mind, Joan added numerous artworks in the White House, “enriching its atmosphere” according to art critics, with the inclusion of more modern art styles causing minor controversy. Joan’s championing of “inter-cultural understanding through art” helped to make for closer relations with American allies as Joan proved to be much more enthusiastic for cultural causes than had been Claudia. Privately, Joan was to the left of her husband, and often served as an advisor on decisions regarding women’s issues. Joan also was a dotting and affectionate mother to the First Couple’s three child: Theodore Adams “Ted” Mondale (b. 1957), Eleanor Mondale (b. 1960), and William Hall Mondale (b. 1962).

1981-1986: Kathryn Jane Maury, R-AL (b. 1926)
Kathryn’s use of her position was closer to Claudia than to Joan or Lady Bird, gladly letting her husband soak up the spotlight. Still, she was a strong supporter of causes that supported the families of military officers and veterans, of Gold Star families, and of Veterans’ affairs, among other relevant issues. Kathryn, a social conservative and a religious Catholic like her husband, joined her spouse in being a “soldier” in the war on recreadrugs and juvenile delinquency, believing that after-school vocational programs and part-time jobs and internships would keep “young teen punk hoodlums off the streets.” During her last two years as First Lady, Kathryn decreased the frequency of White House parties in order to try and reassure supporters and the American public that her husband was taking the increasing number of scandals and accusations very serious. A mother of seven children (making for a busy time for the White House staff), she promoted family values, and continued to do so even after leaving the White House.

1986-1989: Joanne Main, R-NY (b. 1936)
Joanne was similar to Kathryn in regards to the issues and causes that they championed, except that Joanne was far more timid of than her predecessor. While the two had become friends during the mid-1980s, this relationship was strained by Joanne’s husband granting his predecessor a pardon for specific crimes, unofficially “branding [Kathryn’s] husband guilty without a trial,” as Kathryn later put it. However, the two eventually made amends as they appeared alongside one another in 1989 at a social function supporting the Protection of Marriage Act of 1986. Joanne was the mother of four children: Jeff (b. 1959), a quarterback; Jennifer Kemp Andrews (b. 1961); Judith (b. 1963); and Jimmy (b. 1971), also a quarterback.

1989-TBD: none/various
As the incumbent President is unmarried and “too busy [working] to go on a date,” as she herself once put it, various friends, relatives (she has at least one sibling as she mentions a nephew in the first source listed in Chapter 58 of this TL), and even political surrogates – most notably former First Lady Joan Mondale – are taking turns serving as Acting White House Hostess when need be. White House staff describe the upstairs residence, full of books and charts as more akin to “a lived-in library” than the “almost-regal home” it was described as being like under First Lady Kathryn. This has led to the “mood/tone” of White House functions depend on the host/hostess. As a result, at least two Hollywood production studios are looking into making a reality TV series on the concept of each show contestant serving as the White House host/hostess for one week each to see who does the best job at it. The incumbent President currently looks down on the very thought of it.



PETS

JOHNSON – two beagles named Him and Her; a white Collie named Blanco; two turtledoves named Pa and Ma; and a Mongrel dog named Yuki.

SANDERS – two bloodhounds named Corbin and Florence, originally puppies a friend gave to him and Claudia as a present while the Colonel was the Governor of Kentucky (Source: the 1970 New Yorker article ends with him saying OTL’s KFC gravy “ain’t fit for my dogs,” suggesting he owned at least 2 dogs IOTL if he was being literal there)

MONDALE – his daughter Joan had a puppy named Digger (Source: June 19, 1983 NYT article “Understanding Mondale”) and she also had a pony named Maybelline, a birthday gift from Robert and Ethel Kennedy, that Joan frequently rode (Joan was a horse rider IOTL according to her obituary).

DENTON – one old mutt named Koala, adopted from a shelter in 1981 and died in 1984; two cats, with no official names, both belonging to the First Couple’s youngest.

KEMP – one bulldog named Kroywen; Joanne kept a parrot named Harold for the last five months of her time as First Lady.

BELLAMY – two sheepdogs named Sweeper and Sal, and two cats named Freckles and Tabitha; all four get along well, making Bellamy once comment on wanting to always see the same sort of harmonious cooperation in congress.

Quick little list I came up with. Hillary Rodham meets John McCain at a Goldwater rally in 1964. They talk and later start dating and get married the following year. John is still elected to the senate in 1986. After Dukakis defeats Bush in 1988 Hillary convinces her husband to run for President in 1992, and the rest is history...

1. From Late 1963 to Early 1964, shortly after President Kennedy's near-assassination in Dallas, a series of scandals regarding the president and members of his administration erupted into the national news. The first of these would revolve around Vice President Johnson's aide, Bobby Baker, and the counts of bribery and illicit vote-getting he allegedly engaged in. The second would revolve around Attorney General Robert Kennedy's wiretapping of the civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. As a result of these events, President Kennedy's approval ratings plummeted going into the 1964 election. The American public was of the belief that the government was corrupt and consistently overreaching, which is why, miraculously, Northern liberals joined hands with Southern segregationists and (well, with some very reduced turnout among all factions of the Democratic base) voted Barry Goldwater into office.

2. However, President Goldwater's "maverick streak" did not make the most productive of administrations. The civil rights situation worsened as Goldwater attempted a hands-off approach, which was later reduced to a "brokered peace" between states and black community leaders, which collapsed quickly. Furthermore, despite the economy ticking up, Goldwater's hawkishness abroad nearly brought about a nuclear standoff with China which rattled international markets. Goldwater's experiment did not work out, and the American people turned to Hubert Humphrey.

3. The Humphrey Presidency would be a short lived one, and the reasons for its brevity are buried in its birth. When it came time to select a running mate, Humphrey's team realized that the Northern liberal Republican "protest voters" of 1964 weren't likely to come out for Goldwater again. With the north more or less guaranteed for Humphrey, the team decided the best way to decisively boot Goldwater out was to pick off Democratic-leaning states in the Southwest. The two final choices for Humphrey's running mate were Pat Brown of California and John Connally of Texas, and he ultimately went with the latter. When asked about the decision, then-Senator Humphrey said that he liked both men equally, and that, if he made the wrong choice, he- ironically enough- would have to live with it.

4. And, well, ultimately he didn't. Once in office, decisions made regarding the gold standard, the Vietnam War, and maintaining law and order among the civil rights riots created a sharp divide between the President and his Number Two. After Humphrey was diagnosed with bladder cancer, he began to re-evaluate his choice of successor. However, Connally was incensed by this looming betrayal, and began maneuvering to ensure his re-nomination as Vice President (and, according to some historians, he was behind the short-lived Wallace primary challenge). The stress of having to maneuver both a tumultuous domestic and international stage and fight off the machinations of his own Vice President caused Humphrey to have a heart attack just ahead of the DNC. He faced pressure to resign from office, and sure enough, he did. Connally's schemes and rise to the presidency would be chronicled in Oliver Stone's "House of Cards", where Connally was portrayed by actor Kevin Spacey.

From there on that, things aren't super eventful, aside from the whole "re-evaluation of the gold standard", energy crisis, economic crash, and Arab-Israeli War thing. After Rockefeller gets blown out amidst the four-way 1972 election, the conservative wing of the GOP re-crystallizes around Governor Buckley of New York and Governor Rhodes of Ohio. New Deal Liberalism died with a whimper after Humphrey left office, so the Democrats eventually rally around the pseudo-liberal Jerry Brown. However, his eccentric mannerisms coupled with the farm crisis and 1987 market crash alienated him from "regular Americans", pushing midwestern conservative Bob Kasten into the Oval Office.
