From the Discord, CosmicAsh basically said that DSU voters are people which favor the status quo: the bureaucrat in a comfortable job, the corrupt Union boss, the industrialists, the Native Americans who want to be left alone, the middle manager at Standard Oil who quite likes his work.What do the LPP and DSU voter bases look like?
Already answered in terms of Canada and New England back a bit in the threadWhat are the United States borders like? I’m imagining they’re pretty heavily patrolled to keep people in and New English/Canadian/Mexican/etc influences out

Don’t worry I’ve done the same more times than I can count!*scrolls back*
Ah okay, brain fart on my part. For whatever reason, it just didn’t stick in my brain after reading it the first time.
Will we see what the social media networks of this world look like? I'm really interested to see more of how this timeline's internet turned out.
Does the US rely on cults of personality to maintain authoritarian rule? Who is revered? Hamilton perhaps?
I assume that those in the urban areas of Connecticut aren't too happy about it.
Connecticut desperately needs a new electoral system. It's more of a farce than a democracy.
At any rate, what's stopping a Labour-Liberal coalition from coming into power? Or for a Liberal confidence-and-supply arrangement for a Labour minority government?
this is my thought as well, only five Liberal MPs need to defect for Labour to take control. Unless the Conservatives greased their palms to not do so?
How many counties are in Connecticut anyway? Is there a map?
Given how big TTL Canada is, I find it surprising that they wouldn't have a navy of their own.
I suspect each dominion probably contributes to the Royal Navy, which is a joint force. Though they may each have a dedicated defensive force as well.
Connecticut (and New England as a whole) never had a ruling along the lines of Reynolds v. Sims I'm guessing.
I just have a question, and @Goldwind2 would send me a note full of typos if I didn't get an answer: What happened to Samantha Smith ITTL?
A broader question: when was the last time when the United States was considered a fully-functioning democracy?
Stumbled upon this! Its great! How did Finland become independent in this TL?
What do the LPP and DSU voter bases look like?
I wonder how accents would develop in North American English Dialects here given the relative isolation of the United States and whatnot.
What about these companies headquartered in New England IOTL?:
L.L Bean
Staples
Ocean Spray
Shaw's
Star Market
Market Basket
Sterlite
Welch's
Gillette
I wonder what happened to William Miller, Joseph Smith, and Ellen G. White ITTL?
Seeing as how Smith was one of the biggest advocates of Jim Crow IOTL, that explains a lot.Absolutely. The two most revered men are Alexander Hamilton, and the man who is credited with consolidating power in the Privy Council... Howard W. Smith. Chairman between 1943 and 1976, and the man who is credited with transforming the United States, and saving the country from the Long Depression. He had near unlimited power for several decades.
Given Canada's size, resources, and population, I'd expect them to have a lot of influence in the Empire.While Canada only has a Coast Guard, no one said a Coast Guard cannot have aircraft carriers and "Coastal Groups" of several destroyers, submarines, and frigates.
Ah, so the US had a Franco? I'm very curious to see the trajectory the US was on before the depression and Smith's rule.the man who is credited with consolidating power in the Privy Council... Howard W. Smith. Chairman between 1943 and 1976
