Obviously a little ASB but I was thinking about ways if the dust bowl was compacted to during Hoover years how much that would change things to the American political landscape and economy. But in particular how much more it would hurt republicans and if democrats would do even better in 1932. Like would FDR get more legislation through or have more support for court packing? Liberal Republicans take and keep control of the party?

Friendly FYI, all geological changes go in asb
 
Could make this work in post 1900. Just have different agricultural practices in the preceding years and you can get a different dust bowl. If the disaster was even partly man-made it doesn't have to go in ASB.
That’s about the only way, which is fair observation. If you keep the natural drought that occurred but had a more rapid response that leads to the same otl improvements in agriculture, it is a viable non asb scenario in that regards.
