Now we've all heard about the Business Plot at one point or another and if you haven't well here you go, and the main problem with the plot was the choice of Smedley Butler as a leader for their coup. Now Butler was avowedly anti-Fascist and it can be considered that there were much better choices for a leader of the armed forces, like Butlers alleged backup, Douglas MacArthur. But the plot allegedly had some major backers including the DuPonts, General's Hugh Johnson and James Harbord, John W. Davis, Thomas LaMont and Admiral William Sims. Now assuming they could gain a new public face and had launched the coup, which purportedly had an army of 500,000 men, with MacArthur leading the March on Washington in the summer of 1935, what could have been the realistic outcome?
And this is more a thought exercise, not a realistic scenario, so have fun with it.
