Texas has a knack for producing great men, lol
You have my attention.
Texas certainly has produced its fair share of colorful politicians. Unfortunately, a good chunk of them were racist.
Thank you! I’m thrilled and astonished by the amount and level of response this TL has got in such a short time
.Maybe if you want, hyou can do one about an American Stalin, not based on Joe Steel by Harry Turtledove, didn't care for it.
That rogue's gallery: the middle one is Father Charles Coughlin, I think. I don't recognize the bottom one. But Wendell Willkie? How on earth does he get mixed in with Coughlin, unless Coughlin in this timeline bears no resemblance to the one in our timeline.
That creaking sound was credibility getting strained at the juxtaposition of Willkie and Coughlin.

I didn’t make that post. And my liking of it does not mean that the post is correct, but just that I liked the post. I just like people predicting.
Top one is Huey Long btw. “The Kingfisher” of Louisiana. And I will not confirm or deny anything, but Huey Long definately fits the bill of colorful politician. Long and Coughlin can be put together. So the list makes sense, depending on some things. Again, it could be totally right, could be completely off the mark. That’s the fun part.
And remember, feel free to critique! Also, do ask TheCongressman why he believes that. I’d be fascinated to see the conversation.

Ok, you have my attention. This could be very interesitng.
As long as GOring, Himmler and a tonne of other Nazi's (or in this case not nazi's, ) don't magically appear in the US and help him run the country it will be a good TL to look at.
But can we change his fae a bit. Will be somewhat hard though, he always had the moustache...

It's Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and William Dudley Pelley. Wendell Willkie isn't there. Depending on whether this Hitler is a straightforwardly conservative/Old Right or populist, I can see him getting involved with Long and Coughlin, but Pelley would be too fringe for him.
I don’t want to spoil anything but that will not happen. My last spoiler is that majority of the TL’s main figures will be OTL American figures.
You know who else was born in Texas Hill Country...
Great, now I’m imagining Hitler as LBJ’s mentor

Awwwwww.
Not like you really have another photo otherwise than his mustache anyway.

My guess for American Hitler's gallery of rogues:
This is basically a Pokémon evolving from neutral chaotic to pure evil.
Or the cast of a really wierd sitcom ...
Hey, the POD is also early enough for the gang to include the best figure of the time period:
(J.R. Brinkley, AKA the goat gland man, the rightful Governor of Kansas)

Yeah .... nope.
FDR is born in America and will be in the TL as a character.
