Lincoln gets assassinated right before reconstruction, so a reactionary, pro-Southern Johnson takes over and mucks it all up. America misses its best chance to advance toward European-style social democracy.
assassinations by "lone wolfs" are definitely the analog here. lots of alternative histories. of course, lots of lone wolfs out there all thinking the same thing, for reasons. so the next 12 alternative universes might just be delayed by a month or twelve
yeah, I remember some friends back in the day really hating on Glenn Beck, and I always figured that if not him, someone else would rise up and fill that space. I'll have to google "dialectic materialism" later. got to step up my theory game

great point! tbh most of these "dramatic pivots" in history merely serve to reveal how fragile the apparent situation was. Dialectic materialism.
