Any thoughts on the TL-191 version of the Supernatural/Sci-Fi Nazi Trope? I've always imagined a TL-191 version of Hellsing where the Major looks and talks like Colonel Sanders as well as TL-191 version of Wolfenstein where Frau Engel looks like Scarlet O'Hara and talks like Dolly Parton.

a long time ago there was a bit of a discussion on what the Indiana Jones franchise could look like with the Freedom Party in place of the Nazis, of course, with what it ultimately boiled down to being less that the Confederates are trying to find whatever artifacts for their magical properties in and of themselves but instead for the more practical purpose of weaponizing them (e.g., intentionally sending the likes of the Ark of the Covenant to the frontlines to devastate their enemies instead of capturing it to just generally ensure victory, or so they believe) because the Freedom Party doesn't have the mystical trappings of Nazism--think trying to find or create a Philosopher's Stone to use it as a battery for some Wunderwaffe-esque cannon instead of to make Featherston immortal

The south did have an obsession with "high civilization" and developing tech ahead of everyone else. The South actually managed to make a working atom bomb in TL-191, something the Nazis never came close to.

Maybe Indiana Jones is Sci-Fi with an ancient aliens bend for the first three, and goes fantasy with supernatural elements for the controversial fourth when he's fighting whoever becomes America's post war rival.
 

I wonder if there will be an infamous (Confederate) propaganda band like Charlie and his Orchestra, that makes propaganda versions of popular Yankee songs with the aim of turning the population of the North away from supporting the war.


Speaking of music and the North, I can see Polka (which originated from Eastern Europe) being more popular in the United States, thus taking the place of Jazz.

Imagine if Jake Featherston actual love jazz music but ban it because it associate with Black Confederate
 
How do you guys imagine how South Park would be in tl-191?
Most likely German or Japanese. Americans had genocide and atomic bombings happen on their soil, as well as having a history of socialism. Jokes at the expense of victims and "wow you care about stuff what a loser lol" Are unlikely to fly.

Kingfish: A Story of Huey P. Long, 1995 American television drama, describing Long's tenure as governor of Louisiana to his assassination in 1937. While the drama was nominated for two Emmys and was critically well-received, it is controversial as many historians criticized the drama for apparently glorifying Long's regime over Louisiana and as well as the drama making no mention of Camp Dependable.

Knock-Knock.

Who's there?

ILL BE ASKING THE QUESTIONS ROUND HERE PARDNER!"
I honestly can't tell which one is more poetic for South Park in tl-191, the show being German or Japanese. Considering that well, the show made fun of anime tropes, made fun of Yaoi (gay relationships in anime), that one episode where they said that the Germans aren't funny, Cartman dressing up as Hitler twice (they would use Cartman to call out Kanye West in the recent episode btw), Stick of Truth having you fight Nazi Zombies, that one episode about Japanese attacks on dolphins and whales, and that one episode where the kids in the town get brainwashed into joining a neo-Japanese Empire.

Honestly Huey Long legacy will be even more popular and glorified because he literally stand up against the Genocidal Jake the Snake while of the people either endorsed or just ignore into the Regime.

I will be not surprised that he will always have several statues names and monuments dedicated for his bravery stand up against the Actionist threat

True, people would glorify Long in post-Second Great War tl-191, but I imagine people would point out that Long was also a dictator and wasn't that better than Featherston; I mean, the dude created Camp Dependable and rigged elections in Louisiana, not really better than Featherston.

How about Italian South Park lads? Italy have no real war since the 1880s and no bombs destroying their cities while being neutral in both world wars.

I could definitely see most Italians mocking both sides of the stupidity and dumbness (Imagine South Park being in small town in Southern or central Italy)

Plus they have really common stereotyped I will be funny to watch like imagine Cartman being a Italian fatty and Kyle being an Libyan Muslims

I could easily see people have a common argument of Long just following Featherston lead until he said to deport Afro-Confederates enter the camps.

While Huey did some dictatory and some rigging of elections but comparing to the horrors of Featherston did to North America will be same as Popular bully to a literally monster

I can see that working. I always imagine South Park being a show in Germany in tl-191 because I imagine Germany in tl-191 post-Second Great War paralleling the US of OTL considering that the Confederacy paralleled Germany from 1914-1945, but tl-191 South Park being Italian or Japanese works as well.

Fair enough.
