Upon a Cross of Globalism

[reagente]

Can we expect the finale soon-ish?

I have sorted out the rough couture of how everything I supposed to end, still will take awhile to write it all out. My guess is about a week from now? Give or take a few days.

[Octowakandi]

Man, that got dark pretty quickly. What's the ETA of the next update?

[lfromnj]

I feel atlas libs read this like some people read 50 shades of Grey.

[Illini Moderate]

[Former President tack50]

I feel atlas libs read this like some people read 50 shades of Grey.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I feel atlas libs read this like some people read 50 shades of Grey.

Nah, we have the NUT tl for that

I'm flattered.

[Captain Chaos]

Please, can we all quit necro-ing this thread?

[lfromnj]

As a FYI - this is not the final update. What I had planned on being the final update was getting a bit unwieldy with length, so there will be one more update beyond this (and a brief epilogue).

[BigVic]

This seems a bit too realistic.

[Orwell]

This seems a bit too realistic.

This is finking scary

[KaiserDave]

This remains to be amazing. I just hope we can the next update soon!

Fitting music


The good news is I feel a revolution coming

[We Live in Black and White]

[KaiserDave]

Down with Gallagher! Down with the tyrants! Down with the Liberators!

Long live the Revolution!

Not to mention it is now 200 hundred years since the year of revolutions. It may be time again.

[Nightcore Nationalist]

I just noticed your 2024 margins, did you add those later?



Had to chuckle when I saw this on Twitter.

[reagente]

I just noticed your 2024 margins, did you add those later?



Had to chuckle when I saw this on Twitter.

Yes, I added the 2024 margin graphic. Every so often I make a few edits to previous chapters (mostly spelling and grammar), but I've had a bout of writers block, so I decided to occupy the time by creating a proper graphic for 2024 (since that is the 'critical' election which really gets the story going).

[alancia]

Yeah. The graphic you made was very cool and nice. Good work, can't wait for the next update.

[Kuumo]

This is one of my favorite timelines because of how eerily realistic it is. If democracy ever collapses in this country, it will be one small step at a time with many people failing to see what is happening until it is too late. I eagerly await the final update.

[Nightcore Nationalist]

Yes, I added the 2024 margin graphic. Every so often I make a few edits to previous chapters (mostly spelling and grammar), but I've had a bout of writers block, so I decided to occupy the time by creating a proper graphic for 2024 (since that is the 'critical' election which really gets the story going).

The margins are very eerie, basically 2012-2020 trends cranked up massively.

A few highlights-blue states states like VT, CT and the PNW swung heavily red (Oregon 48-43!)

Texas being a pure tie. The Castro pick for VP makes sense, but it's fascinating that the entire election hinged on a few thousand votes in texas.  Although I'm surprised that Newsom didn't do better in CO/NV/AZ.

Wisconsin, Maine and NH going to Carlson by near double digit margins.  IA a 20 point blowout!

[Former President tack50]

Ok, so I've decided to do my guesses for the Senate elections until the last properly contested elections in 2046 because why not. I will also be excluding any special elections:

No net change (62R-38D)

D+5 (57R-43D)

2028:
Dems gain: NV, AZ, GA, FL
D+4 (53R-47D)

2030:
Republicans gain: MN, PA
R+2 (55R-45D)

2032:*

2034:
Dems gain PA
D+1 (58R-42D)

2036:
Dems gain AZ, TX
D+2 (56R-44D)

2038:
Dems gain TX, NC
D+2 (54R-46D)

2040:*
Dems gain: AK, KS, WI, SC, NC, NH
D+6 (52D-48R)

2042:*
Republicans gain NV, AZ, TX, VT, RI
R+5 (53R-48D)

2044:*
LBS gain MN, MI
LBS+2 (55LBS-45D)

2046:*
LBS gain NH, PA, WI, NC, GA, FL, KS, AK
Dems gain Guam (x2), NMI (x2)
Net LBS+4 (63LBS-41D)

In fairness I think most of these results should be more "mixed" (only election with both D and R pickups is the 2024 realining election; excluding the 2046 midterms) but they still give us an idea. And after this, my mini-review of my guesses.

*1: Given Dems are quite overextended in 2032 as well as Hawley's convincing victory; it is kind of surprising Republicans don't win more seats, you could easily go all the way to R+8. I went with a mix of trends (NH, ME) and old GOP states coming home (TX, NC) but you could do all one or the other.

*2: Getting Dems to win the required Senate majority in 2040 requires several unorthodox pickups. AK, KS and NC are easy pickups given Ramirez-Rosa carries them, but the next 3 are quite hard to get unless you assume Dems hold states like WI and NH in 2028 and 2034. If you do, it gets easier though in any case you still fall 1 state short I think. I decided to give those 2 back to the Dems, as well as SC since that seemed like the most plausible pickup. Or you could also make up 1-2 special elections or flip other states like say, UT or ID

*3: Here you run into the same problem but in reverse. Unless you assume Dems hold to the Midwestern seats while the GOP holds the Southwest up until 2040; it is very hard to get the required 5 pickups. I went with giving Republicans 3 of their former competitive states (NV, AZ, TX) as well as 2 states that probably trended to them for quite a while at this point (VT, RI)

*4: Given the election was mostly rigged I am surprised President Gallagher didn't give himself a bigger Senate majority

*5: Decided to go with the unorthodox decision of giving the Dems the Senators for Guam and the Marianas. President Gallagher is very disappointed at their treason Anyways that way the Liberators can sweep the mainland US seats.

I guess I went too far into the trends direction in a way I suppose

I did have Senate maps in mind while making this, though I probably would have been better served making actual maps rather than trying to commit everything to memory. You make some good points (particularly with 2032), so I'll do a partial retcon of the Senate results.

*I figure that Louisiana could be a surprise due to the runoff system (with GOP popularity tanking after they invoke the electoral count act; will probably add a headline about that)

[Fanofeverything25]

how about the cabinets for all of the administrations?

[President Biden Democrat]

This is a really pessimistic timeline but it's actually realistic. Something like this oddly could happen given partisanship that we are currently facing in our country right. Hopefully as a country we can fix this and get back on the right track.
