2020 presidential election with 1980 electoral votes 

Trump abolishes the 22nd amendment but backfired really badly.

Unfettered: Part 1 (my first attempt at a collage)

A Quick Recap of the First Two Years of Social Credit Opposition: In 1968, the Social Credit party formed the official opposition, surprising everyone, including their own. Real Caouette was determined to ensure they did not burn out before the next election and were ready to form government in 1972. In Couette's eyes, the only way to achieve that was to continue his strategy of building grassroots campaigns from the municipal level up, especially focusing on the provincial level. In 1967, Caouette was able to get BC premier W.A.C Bennett fully on board with this plan, even getting two BC social credit MLAs to run for the federal social credit party in 1968. Alberta Premier Ernest Manning was less knee and only finally ended up agreeing to the plan during the campaign. He ended up throwing his support behind the three social credit candidates in Alberta in the "68 election. In 1969, the main battle was the liberal Criminal Law Amendment Act. Caouette saw this as the Social Credit party's best chance at showing they were the only actual opposition party to the liberals. Employing all sorts of tactics, SocCred MPs were able to drag out the process until 1970, when the bill was finally voted on. Caouette, making this bill a big point of difference, drew a large amount of media coverage and put the PCs into disarray. In the last election, the PCs were reduced to the same number of seats as the NDP, and the leadership of Robert Stanfield was put into question. The dilemma among the PC caucus was as such: Do they concede the more right-wing prairie and rural voters to the SoCred and try to win back Ontario and Atlantic Canada, or do they try to outflank the SoCreds from the right? Well, they did both. Some in the PC Caucus attacked the bill almost as much, if not more, than the SoCreds, while others (like party leader Robert Stanfield) threw their full support behind the bill. This divide would cause rumbles within the PC caucus of some of the more right-wing MPs crossing the floor to join the SoCreds. Then, on May 18th, 1970, the Criminal Law Amendment Act would reach its final vote and would pass. While the SoCred Caucus voted unanimously against the bill, the PC caucus was split. 16 PC MPs, including their leader and most of their front bench, would vote for the bill, and only eight would vote against it. Although this vote didn't cause any MPs to cross the floor as expected, it did cause some local party activists and members to leave the party and join the SoCreds.

In Alberta, six months after the 1968 election, an opportunity would present itself. Ernest Manning would announce that he'd be stepping down as premier and leader of the Alberta Social Credit Party. Caouette would return the favour to Manning, which Manning had done to Caouette so many years ago, back in 1961; Caouette would endorse against Mannings's preferred candidate and would get heavily involved in this leadership race, getting his three Alberta MPs to also throw their support behind MLA for Rocky Mountain House, Alfred Hooke. It would be a short leadership count, with Hooke winning on the second ballot with 56.4% of the vote, beating Manning's picked candidate Alberta cabinet minister, Harry Storm. After the first ballot, all three remaining candidates dropped out and endorsed Storm to try and block Hooke from winning, but after Hooke took such a large chunk of the vote on the first ballot (49.8%), Storm would have had to have gotten almost 100% of the other candidate's votes in order to beat Hooke. Just like that, Alberta would officially sign on to Caouette's plan of working with the provincial wings to win federally. Premier Hooke wouldn't have much time to make a name for himself before the next election, where he'd be facing a young and popular PC leader, Peter Lougheed. Hooke's plan was to expand welfare and other Social Credit Party government assistance programs while at the same time passing more socially conservative legislation. Hooke would lobby the federal Social Credit Party to vote in favour of Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's supply management program. This position was a point of attack for PC leader Peter Lougheed, who called it out as "big government over management." When the 1971 campaign began, it looked like Social Credit would be in trouble with the young charismatic Peter Lougheed running away with this election, but Hooke proved himself to be a passionate campaigner, and with the help from the Federal social credit machine, Social Credit began to take back ground in the polls. The PCs were also hurt by the fact that their federal party was not only badly smashed in the 1968 election but also were in a very messy public fight just a year earlier over the Criminal Law Amendment Act, Which Hooke would attack the PCs for voting for federally. The PC campaign also wasn't helped by rumours that Lougheed planned on using the position as premier as a stepping stone for his future run for leader of the federal PCs. In the end, Social Credit was able to hold onto its majority, although Lougheed was able to significantly increase the PC seats in the legislature. In 1972, Peter Lougheed stepped down as PC leader to run for a seat federally in that year's election, and the PCs picked MLA Don Getty unanimously as their leader at the following party convention. Getty would prove to be a good parliamentarian but a weak campaigner and was easily out-shined by Premier Hooke, who would expand his majority in the 1975 election. Premier Hooke, although an energetic and passionate campaigner, his age was getting to him. He was 72 years old, just 2 years into his second term, and so that year, Premier Hooke announced he was stepping down as leader of the Social Credit party. The 1977 Alberta social credit race would have some star candidates: MLA and son of former Premier Preston Manning, TV News Personality Ralph Klein and Minister of Education Robert Curtis Clark, as well as federal MP for Red Deer Jim Keegstra, who was from the extreme wing of the party. After a long leadership race, TV news personality Ralph Klein was elected leader of the Alberta Social Credit Party on the fifth ballot and was sworn in as premier only a few months later. SocCred MLA Fred Colborne would step down to allow for a by-election, which Klein would easily win and finally take a seat in the legislature. Klein would build an Aberhart-style personality cult around himself in his first term, expanding the Social Credit Party's social programs and introducing what he called "Klein Bucks," which was a royalty bonus cheque given out to every Alberta citizen monthly based on the revenue from the nationalised oil sector. Klein's youth, colourful personality and no-nonsense approach to politics led the Social Credit Party to a landslide victory in 1979, crushing the PCs and forcing PC leader Don Getty to resign on election night. 

In 1969, Manitoba would hold an election, and Caouette would make sure his party would be on the map. In 1968, Social Credit would win four seats in Manitoba. Caouette saw this as the perfect opportunity to grow social Credit in another province. MP for Provencher, Lorne Reznowski, would be put in charge of the Social Credit campaign in Manitoba, while the 3 other Social Credit MPs were made to campaign with their local Social Credit Candidates and across the province. Lone SoCred MLA Jacob Froese would remain the Manitoba Social Credit leader. Reznowski would lobby Caouette to be made provincial leader, but Caouette saw Reznowski as too valuable of an MP to lose in their first year of opposition. As results came in, it was clear a new British Columbia was formed; Social Credit would form a majority government, with the NDP forming the official opposition. Many political analysts wondered if this would become the status quo of western Canada, with Social Credit and the NDP battling it out while the PCs and Liberals are almost nonexistent. Social Credit now had majority governments in three provinces, and Caouette only had plans to expand more. Jacob Froese, the premier-elect of Manitoba, would sign the Manitoba SoCreds onto Couettes National Strategy 2 days after the election. Jacob Froese would be re-elected with a majority in 1973 and 1977. 1973 the legislature only elected SoCred and NDP MLAs; the same happened in 1977. 

The 1970s would be a busy decade for the SoCreds, and they'd have to hold onto all three of their provincial governments as well as try and expand them. The 1970s would start with a provincial election in Quebec, which would result in a liberal majority government. The Newly formed Quebec Social Credit party would score 17 seats, tying them for the opposition with the formerly in-government National Union Party. After this, Caouette would meet with Quebec Social Credit leader Camil Samson and the National Union Party executive board to discuss a merger between the parties. The merger would be successful by 1972, and a leadership convention was held; Federal Social Credit MP for Frontenac, Bernard Dumont, would be acclaimed leader of the new Social Credit Union of Quebec or NSCUQ, in a sign of unity between the two wings of this new party. In his speech, Dumont promised to bring Quebec Social Credit into government in Quebec in his first election, or he would step down. Not wanting to allow the NSCUQ to have time to prepare, Liberal premier Robert Bourassa called an early election in 1973, hoping to catch this new party off guard. Bourassa's gamble paid off, and the liberals secured a supermajority. Although Dumont was able to win his seat and hold on to the official opposition, the NSCUQ was crushed, winning only eight seats, and Dumont announced his resignation as leader on election night. By 1974, Caouette was focusing too much on federal politics to get involved in a provincial leadership race, and so in 1974, Camil Samson was elected leader of the NSCUQ; he would appoint former National Union cabinet minister and current NSCUQ MLA Marc Bergeron as deputy leader of the party, something that strained Samson and star MLA Fabien Roy's already strained relationship. Samson wasted no time as leader and went to work campaigning and recruiting candidates. Samson wasn't taking any chances even if the election wasn't until 1977. By 1975, Caouette's health was deteriorating badly; in 1976, he was in no position to help the provincial SoCreds in any province. Samson would be left on his own without the help of his party's federal leader, although Social Credit MPs from Quebec and other French Canadian parts of the country were more than happy to come and help with his efforts. In typical fashion, Premier Bourassa called another early election a year before the scheduled time and in the same year as the federal election, hoping that increased turnout caused by the federal election would get every liberal voter out. This time, however, Bourassa's gamble would backfire, and the liberals were swept out of government, not by the NSCUQ but by the separatist Parti Quebecois. Although Samson was able to greatly increase the party's seat count and vote share as well as win a seat on Montreal island, it wasn't enough to form a government or even hold onto official opposition. The Federal Social Credit Party saw these continued failures at the provincial level in Quebec as a complete humiliation and would, from 1976 onward, make it a priority to win government in Quebec.

2535 Seslateran Presidential Election

If Stephen Douglas, John C. Breckinridge and John Bell, all somehow stayed united in order to prevent a Lincoln presidency, and retained all there voters, they would win 60.34% of the Popular vote to Lincolns 39.65%. In spite of this they would love the electoral college 134-169. 

If this happened when the south secedes, Lincoln would have almost no legitimacy after losing the popular vote by 20, and the war effort would almost certainly collapse. I think people would also be more sympathetic to the South in this timeline because they won ‘democratically’. The accusation of Lincoln being a tyrant would hold more sway.

No conservatives in 2010

During her presidency, Sarah Palin adopted protectionist tariffs, began the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico, and refused to aid Pakistan when India invaded it. 

As such, the war ended in an Indian victory in May 2023, and the annexation of all of Kashmir. India's international status was bolstered by its victory. 

As the incumbent, Palin sailed through the republican primaries with no meaningful opposition. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, defeated Doug Ford – his Ontario counterpart – as well as Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker to win the Democratic nomination. Newsom ran on abortion and foreign policy, while Palin accused Democrats of planning to handcuff the police, open America's borders, and impose a socialist agenda upon the country. 

Most polls showed Newsom winning by varying margins, but given her appeal to Middle America, Palin managed to pull off an upset, continuing the Republican dominance¹ of US politics. 

**Footnote**

- ¹ = Dick Gephardt was elected US President in 2004 but lost reelection in 2008 to Mitt Romney.
