Peak Gonzo: Or, the Making of a Dystopia

I feel that "Peak Gonzo" as an idea would be something like this rather than just a dystopia.
Yes. Characteristics of a Gonzo TL are as follows:
1)Well researched, well made wikiboxes.
2)Use of better pictures than those used on OTL Wikipedia.
3)Effective use of otherwise obscure political figures in a creative use of the butterfly effect.
4)Social conservatives - not necessarily economic ones - do very well.
I agree. I wouldn't exactly classify his timelines as dystopia, but they're certainly different form OTL.

The assassination attempt by the Puerto Rican Nationalists would have happened whilst Barkley was Vice President, meaning President Barkley. Until, of course, he dies. As this is post-1947, it'd be either the Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn, or President pro tempore Kenneth McKellar.
I'm certainly flattered that I have seemed to create my own sub-genre of alt-history on the board.
Please do go on. I am awaiting this with a lot of interest.
Thank you! I will
Well, err... I've got something in the works... at least until I can work on Moonbeam again, and it may or may not have been influenced by him.
Buckley had better stay far away from the White House, lol. Will be following this with interest.
Worse than discount Hitler?No, he won't be making a play in this TL... someone worse will
As long as it isn't Icarus-verse Wallace or Reagan. Now there was a timeline that scared me...
