President Infinity provides some crazy results.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

H. W. gets assassinated because why not, the world is crazy sometimes. The GOP becomes more NE while Dems go more southern. This gives Dems an electoral lock from '96 to '16. Obama looks like he'll lose in 2016 but he gets assassinated shortly before election day and gets grief-vote posthumously elected, giving ticket-balancer Landrieu the reins for five years. There's more backstory here so if anyone would like to see some maps.... I'm all ears

PRESIDENTS of the UNITED STATES (First Republic, 1788-1807)
1. George Washington (No Party-Virginia) 1789-1797
2. Thomas Jefferson (Republican-Virginia) 1797-1801 [1]
3. Alexander Hamilton (Federalist-New York) 1801-1803 [2]
4. Charles C. Pinckney (Federalist-South Carolina) 1803-1809

[1] Unseated
[2] Resigned to assume personal command of the joint American-British invasion of Louisiana


FIRST CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES (Alexandrian Period, 1807-1848)
Alexander I     1807-1837 [3]
Alexander II    1837-1848 [4]

PRESIDENTS of the UNITED STATES (Alexandrian Period, 1807-1848)
4. Charles C. Pinckney (Hamiltonian-South Carolina) 1803-1809
5. Timothy Pickering (Hamiltonian-Massachusetts) 1809-1817
6. Rufus King (Hamiltonian-New York) 1817-1821
7. Richard Stockton (Hamiltonian-New Jersey) 1821-1825
8. Harrison Gray Otis (Hamiltonian-Massachusetts) 1825-1833
9. Richard Rush (Liberal Hamiltonian-Pennsylvania) 1833-1841
10. William H. Harrison (Conservative-Ohio) 1841-1845 [5]
11. Daniel Webster (Conservative-Massachusetts) 1845-1847 [6]
12. John Tyler (Independent Conservative-Virginia) 1847-1848 [4]

[3] Some historians date the start of Alexander I's reign in 1803, for he effectively retained many of the powers of the presidency even after resigning the office, and Pinckney was generally considered Hamilton's prime minister rather than president in his own right. The act of Congress officially conferring upon him the title of "First Citizen" was passed in 1807.
[4] Deposed by the Revolution of 1848
[5] Upon the death of Alexander I, the Hamiltonian faction began to splinter between liberal reformists led by Richard Rush, Martin Van Buren, and James Buchanan, and conservatives allied with the new emperor, Alexander II. To check the rising political power of the liberals, Alexander supported William H. Harrison for the presidency, but soon came to see Harrison's popularity with the common people as a threat.
[6] The aged and worryingly popular Harrison was passed over by the Conservative caucus of 1844, who at Alexander's request nominated Daniel Webster for the presidency. Webster, however, proved even more ambitious than his predecessor; between 1845 and 1847, he oversaw a significant expansion of presidential authority at the expense of the emperor, encouraging the cabinet to report directly to him rather than Alexander and introducing legislation without consulting the throne. This led Alexander to lobby, successfully, for his impeachment in 1847. The so-called "Washington Massacre" saw Webster, Vice President Crittenden, and most of the cabinet dismissed in one fell swoop; John Tyler was accordingly elected President Pro-Tempore by the Senate, as Alexander had requested, and became president under the terms of the Presidential Succession Act of 1792. Intended to secure Alexander's authority, the coup provided the spark that would result in the Revolution of 1848 and the fall of the Alexandrian Empire.

Footnotes:

1. Martin Van Buren (the incumbent VP) fails to carry the state of Pennsylvania. This means nobody has an Electoral College majority, so the election is thrown to the House of Representatives, with the top two Whigs (in a field of four regional candidates all from the same party) automatically joining Van Buren on the short list of three names for the House to consider. Senator Daniel Webster, having failed to make it into the "final three," moves heaven and earth to round up sufficient votes to put William Henry Harrison over the top.

2. Joseph Holt was a Southern Unionist who had long called himself a Democrat, but was invited by Abraham Lincoln to be his running mate in 1864 as a sign that "balanced tickets" (representing both North and South) were still possible during and after the Civil War. Result: after Lincoln is assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in April 1865, Holt inherits the Presidency. By 1868, he is sufficiently trusted by the Radical Republicans that he is able to secure the party nomination for a second term and thus continue with the work of Reconstruction.

3. After President Sherman is shot by deranged office-seeker Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881, he is treated by a progressive surgeon who believes in the newfangled European idea of "sterilize your instruments before you poke them into the patient's body!" As a result, Sherman eventually recovers. Unfortunately for him, most of the thus-acquired "martyr image" has worn off by November of 1884 when he is up for reelection.

4. Most observers felt that Bryan would have lost several swing states to Republican candidate William McKinley, and thus the election, if his fellow Democrat, President Cleveland, had not bitten the bullet and strongly supported the Bryan campaign despite their sharp disagreement over "Free Silver" versus "the sacred nature of the Gold Standard.")

5. Bryan begins his second term, then is assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in September 1901. Vice President Adlai Stevenson inherits the bulk of a four-year term.

6. At the Republican National Convention of 1920, Hiram Johnson of California arrives with the most delegates already committed to him for the first ballot, due to winning several state primaries, but completely lacks the confidence of the Republican "bosses" of the eastern United States. However, front-runner General Leonard Wood persuades Johnson to take a chance on combining forces with him by accepting the VP slot on the national ticket. (Wood being several years older, and thus likelier to die first.) The duo is elected in 1920 and reelected in 1924. After President Wood dies of natural causes on August 7, 1927, Hiram Johnson inherits the job. He is widely considered a very vulnerable non-elected President when he seeks election to a full term in 1928 -- but instead of capitalizing upon this opportunity to retake the White House, the Democrats stubbornly shoot themselves in the foot by nominating a Roman Catholic "dry" candidate from New York City, (Al Smith); a daring move which painfully fails to resonate within the states which have previously been considered the Democratic Party's "Solid South."  

7. John Nance Garner is in the unique situation of having, in effect, "inherited the Presidency" from a winning candidate who was never inaugurated! On February 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara shoots at President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Miami, Florida, and kills him. (Narrowly missing Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago, who was standing right next to FDR at the time.) Vice President-elect "Cactus Jack" Garner is sworn in as the new President on March 4, 1933, per the provisions of the Twentieth Amendment.

8. Ike's stroke in November 1957 is so bad that he finds it necessary in December to become the first person to ever resign from the Presidency. According, Earl Warren inherits over three years' worth of a Presidential term.

9. After Lee Harvey Oswald assassinates John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963, Vice President Symington inherits. Reform-minded Democrats then rejoice at the realization that things might have developed very differently if Lyndon B. Johnson, at the Democratic National Convention of 1960, had agreed to give up all the real power of Senate Majority Leader in exchange for the opportunity to become a marginalized Vice President in the upcoming Kennedy administration. Seeing right through this ploy, LBJ turned down the VP nomination, and thus Kennedy was able to offer that opportunity to his "second choice" (who was actually his preference all along).

Note: I just recently discovered this site, and decided to amuse myself by rattling off a fairly "conservative" list of how things might have gone differently at various points. I may try something more "radical" later on. This time around, I didn't invent any assassinations out of thin air, nor tamper with the timing of when a historical figure is known to have died of natural causes, but I did flip the results of some of the assassination attempts that actually occurred. (And sometimes I assumed the assassin would have shot anyone who happened to be President on that date.)

Bush 41 -> In his first term, Bush promised to honor Ronald Reagan's legacy by holding on to his team and passing his agenda. This meant massive tax cuts and strengthening on the military. Democrats had little chance of beating Bush, so the bench was thin, allowing Jesse Jackson to rise through the ranks. Jackson trailed in the polls, often by as much as 50 points, and lost in a sizable margin. But that was the end of Bush's luck - Bush decided to shuffle the deck after a landslide re-election, and by the end of the Bush term his approval ratings hovered at around 30%, thanks to several economic shocks and scandal in his administration. Republicans would lose that year even as an Anti-Bush candidate, Jack Kemp, took the reigns

Cuomo -> Groomed for success, he won a sizable margin in his first election and an even more sizable one in his re-election. Despite this, Cuomo faced difficulties throughout his term, including dealing with a sizable Republican congress by 1994. Still, Cuomo was regarded as a fairly progressive President, halting the downward movement on taxes, expanding healthcare access, and rejecting the "New Democrat" label. His successor, however, would change that.

Clinton -> Clinton was Cuomo's antagonistic Vice President, always distancing himself upon Cuomo's unpopular decisions. In Clinton's fight for the nomination, Cuomo personally favored Bill Bradley over Clinton or Wellstone, the other major contender, but Bradley gained 0 traction. Clinton would end up the nominee with Cuomo's apathetic blessing, and win a narrow election despite a thriving economy in 1996. Clinton himself would prove rather popular most of his term thanks to his New Democrat centrism, and McCain trailed most of the 2000 election by 10+ points, but Clinton's issues with women came out and the dot com bubble burst, causing Clinton's numbers to fall in a tailspin.

McCain -> McCain ran as a reform-minded candidate, and planned on governing that way. As a result, he managed to piss off both the party establishment of the Republicans and the Democrats. He called for an end to pork barrell spending, the invasion of Iraq, and a balanced budget. McCain angered his party the most when he vetoed a major tax cut on the grounds that it would send the budget out of balance. McCain, with an apathetic Republican base, went into re-election facing tough odds, but did win public credit for his response to 9/11 and his honest approach to the White House. That would not be enough to overcome the Democrats massive spending and their handsome, populist candidate John Edwards.

Edwards -> The less said about President Edwards, the better.

Bush 46 -> Part of the reason Bush Jr. failed was because he wasn't reform minded. Part of the reason why H.W. Bush had a tough Presidency was because he wasn't trusted by rank and file Republicans. Jeb Bush was both. He promised a wide array of new conservative reforms that were widely popular among Republicans and some became popular in the public eye. He faced fierce opposition from Democrats, and indeed, Democrats made unprecedented gains during the Bush years, making him the first Republican President since his father to face Democrats controlling both houses of congress. Despite Bush's policy expertise, he would be laughed at by comics for how easy it is to flap him, and Bush's push for conservative policy would sow the seeds of discontent and anger among liberal activists, who would strike and strike hard in 2016 after years and years of "New Democrat" ideals. Bernie Sanders defeated Bush buddy W. Mitt Romney in 2016 despite many viewing Sanders as a radical, AND despite Bush himself generally having pretty high approval ratings.

*Died of a heart attack in November of 1903
**Despite Lincoln beating McAdoo/Tumulty in the PV by four percent, the McAdoo/Tumulty ticket wins the EC; this causes instability particularly among German-Americans

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

***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...

As a fake moderate independent you know everything about being a hack.

And it's just a list. Don't take it too serious.

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.
