What made Obama a Republican in this TL?

[Mordecai]

What made Obama a Republican in this TL?

He came of age in the '80s when Reagan was President and became a Democrat. So with Ted Kennedy and Lloyd Bentsen in the White House in this timeline I thought it would be interesting if he became a Republican. Instead of moving to Chicago and becoming a community organizer he stays in New York and becomes a businessman.

[TNF]

(1) Wallace stays on the ticket and oversees the end of World War II, which ultimately ends as Japan, facing starvation, gives into American demands of unconditional surrender. His Presidency is ultimately a victim of a vicious campaign in the press and by business to paint the President as a "red." He does, however, order the Federal government to begin enforcing the 14th Amendment in the South, integrates the military, and nearly destroys the Democratic Party as a result. Latter-day historians have ranked Wallace much more highly than those did in the late 1940s into the 1960s, largely as a result of his bold action on civil rights.

(2) The first Republican elected since Hoover, Stassen promised to hold a hard line against "segregation at home and communism abroad." His administration saw U.S. troops in Jackson, and in Japan with the Japanese War between the People's Republic of Japan (North Japan) and the Republic of Japan (South Japan). Under Stassen's watch the first nuclear weapons are deployed (in the Japanese War), mass unrest develops as students take to the streets to protest the war and the boiling over civil rights movement continues into the last years of his Presidency. By 1956, Stassen is a weathered and weakened man, resentful of the office he holds and of the Republican conservatives who keep trying to push his Presidency further and further to the right. Stassen is very much a mixed figure who is often criticized by historians for his signing off of the Japanese War and the subsequent nuclear conflict in Japan (which lasted beyond his tenure in the White House), but also viewed positively for many social programs established during his tenure and by some civil rights historians.

(3) With the left-wing of the Democrats having split off under the leadership of the CIO, black Civil Rights activists, and other assorted radicals (including the antiwar movement) in the form of the new Labor Party, the Democrats drift to the center and nominate Adlai Stevenson, the Illinois Governor who promises "a honorable end to the war in Japan." The Democratic Convention is a boisterous affair, with Southern sections walking out over the continuation of the Democrats' civil rights plank and Stevenson's affirmation that he will uphold it. Riots outside the convention and clashes with antiwar demonstrators turn the 1956 race, between Stevenson, incumbent President Stassen (running for a third term), and the Labor Party's presidential candidate into a free for all. Stevenson ultimately comes out on top in the House, where disgruntled conservative Republicans vote for him over their own incumbent. Stevenson's term is likewise chaotic. He negotiates a ceasefire in Japan and ends the draft, as well as begins a policy of "benign neglect" toward civil rights and other demonstrations. He does, however, sign off on the last major expansion of the welfare state for forty years with the establishment of universal higher education in 1958.

(4) With the memory of the Japanese War still fresh and a number of scandals surrounding the Stevenson administration (all involving Democratic Party "bosses" at the local level), the charismatic and conservative Senator from California, Richard Nixon, runs for President in 1960 against the incumbent, promising to "clean up" Washington and pursue a more open and honest foreign policy. In a close race, Nixon defeats Stevenson and governs from the center-right, trimming down government and debt in spite of the economic situation, which seems to worsen daily. Major strikes rock the country by 1963, leading to President Nixon utilizing the armed forces to force coal miners, longshoremen, postal workers, and a whole host of other workers back on the job, a picture that does nothing to soothe Soviet propaganda.

(5) President Kennedy comes to office amidst national turmoil. Factories are idle as a result of striking workers, South Japan has been overrun by the North, and inflation is rising. Kennedy quickly enacts a "shock program" to jumpstart the American economy, including a hardline against the unions, drastically rolling back welfare spending, and pumping up military spending. Tax cuts are sold as a bill to fix the economy and receive widespread support from Democrats and Republicans, to the chagrin of the Labor Party, which votes against them en masse. Inflation is crushed by dramatically upping interest rates at the Fed, another policy which ultimately contributes to unemployment and lowers wages overall. By 1967, Kennedy has a 35% approval rating and economic recovery is nowhere in site. The Labor Party polls its best-ever showing (to that date) in the 1968 election, although ultimately an "Anybody but Kennedy" mentality leads to a surge for Richard Nixon, intent on making a comeback.

(6) Nixon's second term in the Oval Office sees a bit of an economic recovery as manufacturing picks up, but unemployment never seems to fall below 7 percent throughout his term. Nixon also ups the ante abroad, intervening in Venezuela to prevent a communist revolution there, to some degree of success. However by the end of Nixon's term the nation's sick economy once again becomes evident, with taxpayers having to shill out some billions of dollars to pay for a bailout of failing banks. Nixon attempts to run for a third term in 1972, but ultimately, the bad economy once again does him in.

(7) President Lindsay continues the "New Democrat" line espoused by former President Kennedy, tightening eligibility for welfare programs and enacting significant cuts in the budget, which doesn't make him especially popular. Notably, Pres. Lindsay lifts the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military, enacts a wide-ranging gun control bill, and produces the first balanced budget in some time. None of his policies, however, help revive the stagnant economy, leading to his defeat by California Governor Ronald Reagan in 1976.

( Ronald Reagan ran on a platform of reducing the tension between the US and the USSR, of reducing government spending, and of education reform. Ultimately, however, his Presidency would be dominated by foreign affairs, with the sinking of a U.S. Navy ship in 1977 off of the coast of Africa. A subsequent war in the heart of Africa (which soon developed into a proxy war with the USSR) ultimately weakened his support, with a strong antiwar movement sweeping the country in those years. Nevertheless, a vicious campaign in 1980 against his Democratic and Labor opponents (whom he accused of wanting to legalize same-sex marriages and enact a "radical left-wing agenda") ultimately saw him win a second term. His second term saw the economy slow further, and by 1984 a worldwide economic crisis developed, leading to yet another massive bailout of the financial sector. Reagan should have been mincemeat at this point, but when it was revealed that the Democratic nominee for President, Gary Hart, had been involved in a number of extramarital affairs, his poll numbers revived. He would lose the popular vote for a third time (he had lost it in 1976 and 1980) but ultimately come out with a victory in the House. A subsequent bailout of the American auto industry and the privatization of health care by a Republican Congress in 1986 caused the Labor Party to take control of the House for the first time ever in 1986, and put the President on the defensive.

(9) The former Democratic Governor of Arkansas had a reputation of being something of a moderate when he was elected President in 1988 over Senator Paul Laxalt of Nevada. That reputation proved untrue however, with his continuation of the bulk of Reagan's policies and the continued sharpening of differences between the Labor Party and the rest of the political spectrum. His administration saw full withdrawal of American forces from Africa and adopted a new strategy of "balancing" the geopolitical order by allying with China against the USSR. His term also saw a Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, state-level initiatives legalizing Cannabis, and a general rebirth of social liberalism. His expansion of gun controls and immigration reform ultimately proved to be his lasting impact on American society, as he would be thrown out of office in 1992 by a revived GOP, intent on radically redefining "Americanism."

(10) Upset and angry with the rapidity of changes in society, many turned to a large and growing far-right in American society, which by 1992 had latched onto the GOP, displacing the dominant Reaganite neoliberal faction. The populist, white nationalist leadership of the new GOP sought to undo the past four decades of liberalism and engage the Soviets head on. They made no bones about it, and in 1992, they managed to secure enough of the vote to win the White House. Aimed at preventing the Labor Party from displacing the Democrats as the nation's second largest party, Pres. Buchanan enacted far-ranging antiunion bills and ordered that no further VISAs be issued to people entering the country. Rioting and civil unrest followed, with the Army deployed in major cities to put down strikes, food riots, and all kinds of civil unrest. The 1996 Presidential Election, held in the midst of significant national turmoil, ultimately saw the Democrats returned to power in a three way split...

(11) President Allen became the first woman to hold the Oval Office and was perhaps the first bonafide liberal to hold the office since the Stassen administration. In hopes of curbing civil unrest, she oversaw a repeal of many of the Buchanan laws, expanded the welfare state, and undid coercive union legislation. She would, however, retain the power of indefinite detention, which set her up for a conflict in the 2000 Presidential Election against the Labor and Republican candidates.

(12) Labor's breakthrough. With electoral reforms having moved the debate in its favor, the Labor Party ushered in the "Revolution of 2000" and quickly moved to retire the national debt and up social spending. Far-right militias and groups were taken down by the FBI and major corporate assets seized as the much of the economy was reorganized into state-owned, worker managed, and community directed cooperatives. President Whitener declared an end to the Cold War with the Soviet Union and began a long overdue process of disarmament and social spending, rooting out corruption and inefficiency in the private sector as the state and cooperative sectors boomed. Social freedoms, too, expanded with the legalization of prostitution, soft drugs, and polygamous unions.

President Richard Nixon resigns on November 6, 1973. As the Vice Presidency is also vacant due to Spiro Agnew's own resignation a few weeks earlier, Speaker of the House Carl Albert is sworn in as the 38th President.

Not wanting to be seen as going against the will of the voters expressed in the 1972 election, Albert calls for a constitution amendment to be passed allowing a special Presidential election to be held in November 1974. An (alternate) 27th Amendment is quickly passed with the stipulation that the victor in the '74 election will still serve a full four-year term. Effectively moving up future Presidential elections up two years from what otherwise would've been there date. The list of Presidents that follows:

38. Carl Albert (November 6, 1973 - January 20, 1975)
39. Ted Kennedy (1975 - 1979)
40. Ronald Reagan (1979 - 1987)
41. Bob Dole (1987 - 1991)
42. Al Gore (1991 - 1999)
43. John McCain (1999 - 2007)
44. Howard Dean (2007 - )
