The Year of the Tiger: The Legacy of the Election of 1920

I have no idea what this is about, despite skimming through it. I like the Tiger picture though...

Is this going to involve what you talked about in your Westman timeline, with Irish-Catholic Libertarians attempting a take over or something like that? 'Cause I'm good with two of the three words in "Irish Catholic Libertarian", and good with three fourths of the term "Irish Catholic Paleo-Conservative"

Urr maybe.
Like I tell everyone else when I make these timelines: even I don't know how they will turn out.  At first Irish Catholic Libertarians may take over......then next thing you know it's Anglo Protestant State's Rights taking over the Democratic Party (like Hans TL lol).
Just saying.
Actually I got this idea after someone posted a thread asking what a Roosevelt in 1912 situation would've looked like and I said a "Smith in 1920" scenario would've been pretty interesting.  Not sure if Al Smith will be the candidate yet though, in fact I'm not even sure who will be the candidate yet.
I always found the rise of the Irish Catholic politician interesting, thus why I am usually biased towards Irish Catholic Democrats with libertarianesque views in my TLs.

1) I think Smith 1920 would be sweet. However, I would call him a "Paleo-Conservative" more than a Libertarian per se...

2) Is the list of Presidents TR for five straight terms, or Tr for two, Taft for one, and TR for two?

3) There were other Irish Catholic politicans such as JFK in the 60's that weren't as isolationist as Smith in the 20's. It would be interesting to see a Kennedy-like Nationalism collide with a Smith-like Isolationism. Both were Irish Catholic somewhat Conservative Democrats from different eras, but Kennedy was a Cols-Warrior.

I'm really just babbling on and thinking out loud with this post

I know it's extremely unlikely, but I just have to shout it out:

Smith/Coolidge 1920!!!!

Yeah, I know it won't happen.

An update!! Hoping for the 1920 election!

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Waiting for 1920...hopefully Cox can beat Johnson

1920's gonna include "Senator" Al Smith, that's for sure.

I'm not a big fan of the three, but if I had to, I'd go for the Great Humanitarian.

Thos five all seem good choices, at least domestically.

Nice update! Eagerly awaiting more!

I like the amount of detail you throw into one Presidential race (though it takes a while to get to the result, expecially with your track record). It looks like Smith's going to be the Reagan of 1920. Should this be able to press on into more recent history, I'd like to see what famous politicians might end up in different parties. HHH and Scoop Jackson with the Republicans? Maybe Ronnie stays on as a Democrat, albite a Conservative one? With you tilting it into basically Authoritarian vs. Libertarian, it's interesting to see where it'd lead with certain politicians.

Ooh!... PBrunsel wouldn't be happy.

Ooh!... PBrunsel wouldn't be happy.

PBrunsel was raptured a long time ago.

However, were he among us today, he would not be happy.

Nice to see some updates. I've been wondering this since the first page: when was Al Smith elected to the Senate?
