And here comes the Civil War. A shame elections won't be held but well Reed had little chances to get into the Presidency anyway. At least the Unions and the Workers have a legitimate reason to rise up against the old United States.
Quite like the Peoples church.. Im curious to see the development of this modernist Syndie Catholicism

Comrades, all is not lost! MacArthur has attempted to become an American caesar, but he seems to have forgotten Caesar's fate! However, this time, we will not let oppression continue as Brutus and his comrades did! We will strike at the root of all oppression, capitalism!
Now it is the time to rise up and establish aTotalistSocialist paradise!
And thus true chaos starts.
It seems so, yes.
Wouldn't the electoral college prevent it ? I mean even with the situation the US are in KR I doubt the CSA and allies could get the absolute majority. That leaves the Congress arbitrating between the candidates no ? They would choose the status quo rather a revolutionary IMO (Sorry if I'm wrong, not an expert on American constitution )Reed totally had a chance to win the presidency. But yup now comes the civil war and all her horrible glory.

Also, what's Ukraine up to at this point (I assume they've picked a focus path)? If they go Khruschev the International has an ally perfectly placed to tear through the German puppets. And yeah Attalus, Reed would never be able to get a majority in the electoral college, so it'd go to the House of Representatives, and even though the syndies would have some presence there, they wouldn't have a majority.
Will the Papal Volunteers of the AUS have a part to play?
Well just did the maths, in 1936 you need 266 great electors to win. Counting the CSA states at the beginning you get 199 great electors (with whole state of New-York). If you add the western states which got unions spawning in the Civil War (Minnesota, Missouri and Iowa) you get 37 more which gives you 236. Still lack 24 electors. New-England is out of the question given how Vermont and Maine were strong Republican strongholds and the lack of dissent with the Canadian occupation in the Civil War. Maybe Maryland and Virginias could be won but that's still quite complicated for them to win anyway (and that's assuming the CSA win all the aforementioned states, in a contested election with 4 possible winners it would be complicated).Reed has a good shot, a long one but not impossible. Mainly because the Steel Belt has a number of electoral college votes. If he can expand past the core base by just a handful states he can win. If he wins Minnosota, Iowa, West Virginia, Kentuky and Missouri plus his core and he wins. That said, I do agree that it would lean towards Curtis or Garner most times.
Awwwww, no Eastern European ally to tear through Mitteleuropa

But anyway Mc Arthur avoided that and I guess post-revolutionary America will not keep this old relic and go by popular suffrage
A well written AAR. Subbed.
And that is how a civil war begins
Hopefully the Avenging Army of Father Coughlin rises up
Maybe the Russians will see the light...
