General Washington of the USA

"However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." George Washington was the general of the Colonial Army of the United States of America who led the colonies to independence from the United Kingdom. After this, he became the first president of the new United States of America. Washington never did believe in the good of political parties as he stated in his Farwell Address. What if Washington took advantage of his military loyalty and public fame to establish a military dictatorship as the government of the United States of America?

Point of Divergence
April 30, 1789 - General George Washington of the Colonial Army establishes a military ruled government as the ruling body of the United States of America. Using his military support, Washington is able to cement his presence across the colonies within weeks, after protests, riots and countryside rebellions. The Congress became an simple council of advisors, generals, informants, and state representatives (only to present state problems). Some democracy remains including the media, freedoms of speech, right to bear arms, etc. The United States is now a democratic republic in control of right-wingers and controlled by a general of the US Military.
