Germany likely ends up going communist in this scenario, which would impact the Cold War dynamic. Also, Douglas MacArthur as President means that the US likely doesn’t desegregate until closer to 1980, as Douglas MacArthur was a big opponent to the integration of the US Army and a states rights kind of guy.
Interesting, what would be the view of the Democratic Party iyo due to the fact that the Democrats for an entire four years had essentially six Presidents, one elected and the rest un-elected, two dying only a few months into the jobs, one causing a Genocide arguable worse than the Holocaust (by at least 3:1 in terms of how many die) leading to him being the first President to be impeached and then removed after being the second to be impeached, then is succeeded by a suspected Soviet Asset, leading to his immediate impeachment and removal, and then the final one being unpopular with the party elite and being booted after being seen as getting too chummy with the USSR with a military general becoming President to act as an overseer of the Presidency? How would the GOP be seen ittl? What would be the reactions to US Politics ittl?
It is possible that the Democratic Party would collapse and that we would see a most liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats form a new political party (maybe the Labor Party would be the name) while conservative Republicans and conservative Democrats under the leadership of President MacArthur and Vice President Taft would form the American Constitution Party or the Conservative Party.
