The German victory of WWI, after the horrific defeat of the French in the Battle of the Somme, would turn out to have some good consequences and some bad ones. Italy, the allies of the Germans, were awarded Corsica as a satellite state. Austro-Hungary would suffer severe rebellions, leading to the creation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, led by King Alexander I, who would marry Princess Maria. Their son, Peter II, would go on to marry Princess Viktoria, the fourth child of Crown Prince Wilhelm.

The temporary Hohenzollern allies in Mexico made advancements against America. The Italian Kingdom joined the war and blockaded the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. When President Harding refused to surrender after New York City was occupied, as were Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, and parts of Lousiana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Georgia, Vice President Lowden, Secretary of State Charles Evan Hughes, Treasury Secretary Nicholas Murray Butler, Defense Secretary Leonard Wood, and Chief of Staff John Pershing agreed to overthrow him in a coup and surrender.

Despite the police siding with Butler, Longworth, and Hughes, the military successfully took power in a national referendum(55% Military, 36% Republic, 9% Other). They implemented a Chamber of Deputies, numbering thirty-six+two per state, and a President with weakened powers. Each member of the Junta nominated twelve Deputies, with each state electing two. The Chamber of Deputies elected three Presidential candidates, all approved by the Junta, and then the three candidates would compete nationally in an IRV election. The President and Chamber could be dismissed by unanimous vote of the Junta at any time, triggering a new election. Otherwise, the Presidents served ten year terms, renewable zero times, and the Junta served five year terms.

*Dismissed for abuse of power
**Dismissed for corruption
***An exceptionally incorruptible and honest President

Most normally retire at the age of 75 unless another is about to die. Then they wait until the other dies to resign. John L. Hines lived until 1972, becoming a powerful American figure in the public conscience after he outlasted many of his fellow Chief Generals.

The German Empire often called their allies to war. It was a success every time. However, the Second American Revolution was partially funded by Germany. Giuliani's Chief of Staff and best friend was John Avlon, a Democratic-Republican sympathizer and leader. The Junta had Giuliani arrested and attempted to arrest Avlon. Avlon, in New York City, escaped the arrest attempt. The guard sent to arrest him numbered thirty-six, twelve from each of the Junta member's allied groups. However, Lee P. Brown, Raymond Kelly, and Elizabeth Watson overthrew the Junta's allies and led the NYPD to rally for Avlon.

The 1,000 officers managed to destroy the Avlon Arrest Group and sent messages throughout the country on Avlon's orders. On May 3, 2001, the 123rd day of the year, the Democratic, the Republican, and the Federalist armies struck. Protests overwhelmed the Junta at Indepence Hall. Alex Fagan, the new Chief of Policd of Philadelphia, joined the protesters and arrested the Junta. Even as the Junta's armies prepared to strike, mass defections struck. James Stavridis, Eric Shinseki, David L. Goldfein, Vivien Krea, Johnniee L. Wilson, Wesley Clark, and Larry R. Ellis led military defections. Most corps split and redrew themselves, as one in four servicemen defected while one in three stayed neutral. Eleven of twenty Reserves defected, while another seven in twenty stayed neutral. Politicians defected and seized power all over the place. Those that remained were not utilized until it was too late. David Petraeus, Jesse Jackson, Jr., and Michael Madigan went to Jefferson City, Missouri. They fortified the city. Civilian raids, lead by James Stavridis, Gabriel E. Gomez,  and Wesley Clark damaged the loyal armed forces called there greatly. The loyal armed forces sent there 600,000. Defections reduced that number to 350,000. However, raids and ambushes by the militia, which itself numbered a mere 40,000 at first, are estimated to have killed one thousand and take prisoner another 14,000. This inspired a group within the city to kidnap ninety-six soldiers and forced the group to kill the eight officers, causing a total of 104 casualties. The ninety-six soldiers were smuggled out of the city and sent as prisoners to Fort Smith, AR, where a prison had been prepared. The fear this inspired in soldiers in Jefferson City caused desertations estimated to number 95,000, while another 40,000 defected. The militia now numbered 125,000 against an armed force numbering between 190,000 to 210,000.

Soon, massive reinforcements arrived. David L. Goldfein took charge of the force that now numbered nearly a million(~976,500), of which about 326,500 were civilians. Another 175,000 were policemen or veterans under forth-five. 475,000 were armed forces or reformed gangsters/terrorists. The latter group is believed to have numbered about 25,000.

When the Democratic-Republican-Federalist Army struck, the opposing army's amazing skills was no match for them. Reformed gangs looted outposts in the northeast as terrorists blew up five major armories and another fifteen barracks on the west side. From the south, the policemen struck and seized control of many barracks and armories alongside about a quarter of the militiamen/civilians. The remained forces struck from the north. David L. Goldfein, Wesley Clark, Gabriel Gomez, James Stavridis, and Vivien Krea followed a policemen/militiamen force numbering eight hundred with each of the leaders receiving forty guards and a gang. They arrested Petraeus, Jackson, and Madigan.

A Parliament was declared as the Hohenzollern sent a diplomatic corps to Independence Hall.

60 Democratic years to 28 Republican years? Doesn't seem hackish at all...

Well let's see here. 1932 through 1964 all had the same party winning elections. 1968 was an agonizing narrow victory for the GOP, any number of things could've swung it to the Democrats. Republicans very narrowly lost in 1976, and honestly if the campaign had gone on another week IRL Ford probably would've won. Seeing as a Republican would've been in office during the Iran hostage crisis and the OPEC embargo, it's probable we'd see a swing towards the Dems in 1980, and incumbent strength carry him through to 1984. 1988-1996 are the same. Al Gore received the most votes in 2000 IRL.

I don't think it's as unrealistic as you posit.

Any loss in 1968 would cause enough butterflies to make it unlikely.

1969-1973: Hubert Humphrey/Edmund Muskie
1973-1981: Ronald Reagan/Gerald Ford
1981: Henry Jackson/Morris Udall
1981-1989: Morris Udall/Birch Bayh
1989-1997: Birch Bayh/David Denkins
1997-2005: Howard Baker/Jeanne Kirkpatrick
2005-2009: Elizabeth Dole/Timothy Scott
2009-2017: Howard Dean/Evan Bayh


That's about the likely largest extent of Democratic rule.
