  1. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    You know a scene in Vice got me thinking, the part where Cheney asks Rumsfeld, “what do we believe?” and Rumsfeld laughs as though it’s the funniest thing he’s ever heard. With most of the people who worked for the Rumsfeld Administration either dead or recovering from being in bedlam house or...

  2. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I have an idea for the name of the Loyalist’s (New England) Civil War Government, The Council for the Defense of the Republic or CONDOR.

  3. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    If you see it that way... I’m still of the belief that the United States is either going to break up (more than California and Texas) or someone is going to pull of the Articles of Confederation to build a government free of the possibility of ‘Federal Tyranny’.

    I think the post-Second Civil War (or whatever catchy name is coined by historians) solution to education might lay in a Yes Prime Minister episode; abolish the Department of Education and establish a ‘National Education Service’. Transfer the administration to the town halls, allow parents the...

    The one time when ‘The British are coming’ will be shouted again in Boston’s streets, except this time to the sound of cheers.

  6. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Mutual bonding over strong, prideful national identities, a romantic view of lawless bandits and going around fully armed in funny hats.

  7. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I kinda want the role of V for Vendetta’s Guy Fawkes masks to be fulfilled by the Joker ITTL, as what protestors use a symbol of liberating chaos and rightful rebellion against oppressive governments and their heavy handed enforcers.

  8. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I do have to wonder on one future event shown in the Rummyhorror segment. What causes the Black Panthers, the Jewish Defence League and the KKK to team up against the CSA? The closest example of something like that in real life was the alliance of radically ideological opposing groups against...

  9. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    It’s a sad state of affairs, when I consider that a military junta ousting Rumsfeld, might have been better for the USA in the long term than Rumsfeld’s lackies performing a palace coup when they realised how insane his plans were. There’s no easy way to heal America post-1988 while working...

    The CV never did understand the lesson of Sir Humphrey. While the fanatic is the desired follower (in one how spreads the faith, obeys the priests and turns up at church every Sunday to put money in the collection plate), it’s leadership should ideally be composed of modernists (an internal...

  11. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    My guess the American troops turn on the Holy Battalions and join up with Castro to liberate America from the CSA as he’s the one willing to supply them with equipment that isn’t crap. The Fundies recognise the threat posed by a well-trained, well-armed, battle hardened and highly motivated...

  12. The Iron Eagle: An Adolf Hitler Presidency

    Well there is William Patrick Hitler, his Irish-German nephew who lives in Liverpool. Not to mention more of his siblings survived in TTL.

  13. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    It won’t be American guns, from the future post it’ll be Japan cashing in on the conflict by selling arms to California in exchange for influence over the Pacific. Maybe working in conjunction with the Soviets who are looking to empty their old third-tier equipment. I imagine the militas end up...

  14. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I believe that Rumsfeldia Economics failed because Rumsfeld never quite understood economics or more specifically how the relationship between Government and Corporations worked. TRW and its allies thought Rumsfeld was taking them back to the Guilded Age, were government and big business worked...

  15. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Either that or break the country up not smaller more ideologically diverse nations.

  16. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Nah, the CVs announced their hatred towards the ‘Evil Papalists’ so Catholism (or the Christian-Socialist kind of Catholism if the current Pope gets deposed) might become more popular, alongside the Presley Evangelicals who strictly oppose getting involved in politics and forcing beliefs down...

    Well they are about to experience America’s Lesser Mao. I mean if Nixon can be redeemed as a wartime leader, then anything is possible. Nixon/Agnew: If we fight the soldiers of God, then we better ally with the Devil.

  18. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Is it wrong that imagine him escaping and going all ‘Handsome Jack’, full blown megalomaniacal sociopath, and becoming a ‘warlord’ in the chaotic Mid-West? Rumsfeld: You can’t even begin to understand my intentions. You think I haven’t had to make sacrifices? I brought order to this failure of...

    You know I imagine the Bozeman Enclaves evolving into an American version of The Danelaw. It won’t be a country, it won’t be a centralised State. It’ll be a geographic area where Libertarians rule and what little laws to enforce social dignity hold sway, but that’s about it. The Enclaves will...

    The picture in my mind is that Rumsfeld got someone to replace the ‘aging computers’ with new ‘top-of-the-line’ models. When someone tries to launch a missile, nothing happens because there’s something wrong with them, mechanical or software, and the missile just can’t launch.
