United Happiness of America and it all it took is a little basic income...instead, you get a breakaway Catholic Church and some angry people who wanted Father Abraham to lead them. But, this time the basic income is a good deal...the right answer.

Well, basicaly in this "timeline" the POD is settled in the late 30s United States, where a coalition forms between several right-wing elements of US politics, including the Ku Klux Klan (wich was actualy frightingly powerful in OTL during that time), the Christian Front (a laveshly anti-semitic and radiacal protestant political movement), the movement "America First" (an anti-semitic isolationist political party) and other, minor movements, uniting several influential right-wing elements into the American Fatherland Party. The ideology of the party was centered around American isolationism, racial segregation, fundamentalis Protestantism, Anti-Catholicism, Anti-Semitism, limited immigration and states rights. During the 1940's presidential election, the AFP send Huey Long to the reace for the White House, who in this TL survived the attempt on his life in 1935, turing it into a propagandistic coup for him and his party, and winning the election in a landslide on the back of a campaign fueld by a mixture of Red Scare, religious divide and promoting a "Third Way" between capitalism and communism. 

Once in pwoer, the US is reshaped in the AFP's image. Racial segregation is tightend immensley, effecting not only African Americans, but also Hispanics, Germans, Jews and Catholics (mostly Irish) by designting anyone who is not a white Protestant as a "Residential Alien" with limited citizen rights. The economy is corporatized, the press is censored and the state also recieves it's own state-religion with the American Apostolic Church, an anti-semitic breakaway church of the Catholic Church led by Father Charles Edward Coughlin, known to Americans as the "Radio-Priest" for his anit-semitic hate-broadcasts. 

The coat of arms of the US is changed in accordance to the new ruling ideology.

This project was heavily inspired by a mixture of a university seminar on the United States in the early 20th century and the not-that-well-elaborated TL on althistory wikia "February's Legacy".

March 23rd, 2023. By Nathan and Kenneth Maslow-Naed. Incomplete There seems to be some kind of human Hegemony Totem poll going on involving income support. The English are at the bottom. You have to comply with the UDHR Article 25 but what method in terms of amounts would you implement to comply; how much do you say you will pay your culture per citizen? Are you English? Are you Canadian? All human life matters. Have you watched the Real House Wives of Durban? I think I am worth as a South African about $50,000.00 USD per year. The sales tax will be....23% and the profiteers can get a whole percentage to themselves( 22% of sales tax daily for the people and the system to keep it going and 1% daily for the profiteers and they can continue to pretend that it is the people's bread or the people's salted pork. But, why is anyone making people secretly offer half of their income support entitlement before they get even one pound? Where does the other half go? Its a bit too public; what ever it is going on and instead of asking us to agree to half in our emotions before you make payment, just send what you think is best and sent it to everyone who has applied; not once but four times? However, it is best you send the whole allotment due to the citizen on application and take the play dough of a whole 1% from the daily sales tax collection. Send the income support money actually to every citizen automatically or else there is a gender equality issue and some other criminal law issues. Do you know people who cannot rest until they put their spoon with their saliva in the food intended for guests at a bridal party banquet? Is there a uh.....profiteer some where who can now see how he can do what he does without bringing catastrophe attention on to himself? I would help him manage this if given the chance. Did you know Warren is an Anglican Church member? He is also a Pentecostal Church member, a Baptist and he will be joining the Presbyterians soon also. Did you know any ALUSRA (TM) idea now sells for $1300.00 per week on a 50 year deal? Contact us and we will read your terms in the MOU. If we say "yes", then you will send payment to us on a weekly basis with their being an opportunity to discuss and work out details of contract with a signing of the final contract to take place within 90 days when a lump sum draft for 20 years worth of payments is due. Once this payment is made, the contract termination date will change from its 50 year anniversary to its 30 year anniversary with the rights of ownership to finally pass on the date of the final payment. The buyer can continue to pay down the balance with lump sums until this final payment is made. This could be done on the 100th day if they so choose. Co ownership will ensue until that final payment is made and Mr. Lyon will participate in the design, conceptual and actual development of the idea and work as a company administrator. Click here.
