Suppose the following series of PoDs/disasters happens:
Lindbergh, impressed by rhetoric from Hitler and Mussolini and their displays of power, founds his own little American Fascist Party in the late 1920s and uses his fame to gain some publicity and votes. He starts getting funds from conservative types. He holds some party rallies and gains in numbers with popular rhetoric in which he praises war veterans who fought in a war that was not America's, the American people. He also agitates heavily against liberals, communists and to the Jewish lobby.
In 1933 Giuseppe Zangara's assassination attempt on FDR is a success and Garner becomes president. The Bonus Army still happens but this time Lindbergh supports it, thus gaining him some support among WW1 veterans and army ranks even if high ranking army officers remain loyal to the state. In his speeches he praises their effort and wants their demands met. Several militant fascists (some of which are disgruntled veterans) are among the ranks of the BA and the police suffers heavier casualties than OTL. The Bonus Army is squashed but unrests simmers with some fascist street fighters clashing with the police and political opponents.
The New Deal doesn't happen and the Gold Standard remains and the depression gets much worse. In '36 some Republican wins the Presidency who manages to make things worse than they already were while Lindbergh becomes Governor somewhere and perhaps gets some seats in Congress. By now he has quite a following among the throngs of unemployed workers in the "Rust Belt" (Northeast of the US) but also many farmers that were forced to leave due to the "dust bowl" and also among big business who would like to see a more corporatist economic model and certain people in the military. In 1940 he runs for the presidency and wins.
What happens now?
Oh and I cooked this up in five minutes so be nice .
