Pinochet betrays the 1973 coup plotters and stays loyal to Allende?A little teaser for something I'm working on
View attachment 895485
The fascist group Patria y Libertad, convinced that Pinochet is loyal to the Allende government due to his involvement in the suppression of the Tanquetazo coup attempt, try to assassinate him but fail. However, they manage to kill his wife, which ironically pushes Pinochet to remain fiercely loyal to the Allende government.Pinochet betrays the 1973 coup plotters and stays loyal to Allende?
Light of the Nation - Part 10: The Grin Shall WinLight of the Nation - Part 9: Domestic Affairs
Mondale’s narrow reelection had sapped some of his mandate, and his second term would feature less major legislation than his first. The 1982 midterms further limited his majorities. However, he would not be a lame duck.
Mondale would make his first, and ultimately only, contribution to the highest court in 1982, when Justice Potter Stewart retired. Mondale made history by appointing Shirley Hufstedler from the Ninth Circuit. Hufstedler was the first female Justice and a liberal vote.
Mondale would, in 1983, hash out a deal to tinker with Social Security to maintain functioning. Conservatives complained about tax increases outpacing benefit cuts, but still signed onto Mondale’s plan. No one was stupid enough to grab the third rail.
Mondale’s second term would see the economy bounce back from the malaise of the 70’s. Of course this also meant tax protesters not wanting to lose even part of their gains. Mondale, an orthodox Keynesian, was still concerned about the debt, so massive tax cuts were off the board.
However overall the economy was improving. Not everyone was happy, the rust belt rusted and farmers teetered on the edge of the disaster. But most people in most places were satisfied, even pleased with Mondalenomics. His successful negotiations with PATCO helped as well.
Not everything was smooth sailing. Crime rates were up, and Mondale was willing to work with Republicans on a “Crack Crackdown” and similar measures. Mondale had photo-ops with Black leaders, and pushed for social programs, but his programs did perpetuate racial inequities.
Mondale had little to do personally with the CDC’s Immunosuppression Task Force. But he did defend it when faced with Conservative Christian attacks. Work on HIV/AIDS would proceed, although that was cold comfort to those who lost their lives or loved ones to the disease.
Mondale would achieve several other things of note. Expanding upon major Civil Rights Bills, including his own fair housing bill, making MLK Day a federal holiday, new National Parks and renamed post offices and all the rest.
Walter Mondale is typically considered an Upper Flight President. Conservatives were driven nuts, but Liberals viewed him very favorably. Plenty of success, and no land war in Asia.
Mondale’s Presidential Library was in Minnesota, and his successor would attend the opening…

Stereotypical Cyberpunk.I... I was trying to make the most stereotypical steampunk infobox possible, okay? Not particularly happy with the result, but I might still try to do the rest of the -punks too.

Bryan as Dubya?? This is really cool and interesting, what was your inspiration for this?William J. Bryan
William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was an American politician who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 9th Governor of Nebraska from 1895 to 2001.
The eldest son of the 24th president Silas Bryan and a member of the Bryan family, he was part of the Nebraska National Guard in his twenties. After graduating from Union College of Law, he became a lawyer before being elected governor of Nebraska in 1894. As governor, Bryan successfully sponsored legislation for child labor reform, increased funding for education, set higher standards for public schools, and promoted free silver economic laws. He also made Nebraska the country's leading producer of corn. In the 1900 United States Presidential Election, he won over Republican incumbent Vice President Levi Morton, despite losing the popular vote after a narrow and contested Electoral College win that involved a Supreme Court decision to stop a recount in New Jersey.

The terrorist attacks on June 19, 1901 decisively reshaped his administration, resulting in the start of the war on tyranny and the creation of the Department of National Defense. Bryan ordered the 1901 invasion of Venezuela in an effort to overthrow the Knights of the Golden Circle, destroy the Ku Klux Klan, and capture Nathan Forrest II. He signed the Anti-Treason Act to authorize imprisonment of suspected terrorists. He also ordered the 1903 invasion of Colombia on the inaccurate beliefs that José Manuel Marroquín's regime possessed biological weapons and developed ties with the Ku Klux Klan. In 1904, Bryan was reelected president in a close election, beating Republican candidate Theodore Roosevelt and winning a majority of the popular vote.
