The United States of America, after the Treaty of Washington, 1940:



Blues (Right-wing) - General Douglas MacArthur
Reds (Left-wing) - President Huey Long

So, what is this?
It's a TLIAD.

Really?
No, I started writing this Thursday night, so it's more like a TLIAFD.

EDIT: Well, now it's more like a TLIAW, so the name has been changed accordingly.

What's it about?
It's a short TL about a non-fascist right-wing authoritarian America, like a right-wing Soviet Union or China.

Did you come up with that?
Well, it was inspired by both Whanztastic's A Very American Regime and Statesman's Back in the USSA, but I like to think that it's at least somewhat original. I don't think that anyone's come up with a non-fascist right-wing dictatorship yet, at least as far as I've seen.

You're a conservative. Isn't this just wish-fulfillment for you?
No, of course not. I still support the American ideals of freedom and democracy. You do have a point, though. Part of the reason I'm writing this is to see the path that I could conceivably go down, and show myself and others like me why we should never go that way.

When will you finish this TL?
Hopefully today, maybe tomorrow. If not, then not for a week.

Then what are you waiting for? Start!
Okay, okay, calm down.
