Throughout the 1932 election, it was clear Franklin Roosevelt would win the election. However, two months before the election, Roosevelt died in a car crash leaving John Nance Garner as the Democratic contender. With Garner not having as much appeal as Roosevelt, Hoover won in another landslide, with Hoover gaining 481 electoral votes compared to Garner's 50 votes, all in the Deep South. Many Democrats turned to the Prohibition Party as they saw Garner as weak on various issues. Hoover's presidency oversaw the end of the Great Depression and various other things. Hoover's victory made many Democrats upset, which led to Henry Skillman Breckinridge's victory in 1936, gaining him 369 electoral votes. Breckinridge's policies led to a new form of liberalism called Neu-Liberalism (which since 1980, is no longer a faction.) This left many citizens from both parties upset and in 1940, Henry Wallace, an independent, won the election with 538 electoral votes, which remains the greatest victory for any US president as of 1980. He was popular but was weak on foreign policy which led to Thomas E. Dewey's 383 electoral vote landslide in 1944.

History (from 1932 POV to present)

Throughout the 1932 election, it was clear Franklin Roosevelt would win the election. However, two months before the election, Roosevelt died in a car crash leaving John Nance Garner as the Democratic contender. With Garner not having as much appeal as Roosevelt, Hoover won in another landslide, with Hoover gaining 481 electoral votes compared to Garner's 50 votes, all in the Deep South. Many Democrats turned to the Prohibition Party as they saw Garner as weak on various issues. Hoover's presidency oversaw the end of the Great Depression and various other things. Hoover's victory made many Democrats upset, which led to Henry Skillman Breckinridge's victory in 1936, gaining him 369 electoral votes. Breckinridge's policies led to a new form of liberalism called Neu-Liberalism (which since 1980, is no longer a faction.) This left many citizens from many places upset and in 1940, Henry Wallace won the election with 538 electoral votes, which remains the greatest victory for any US president as of 1980. He was popular but was weak on foreign policy which led to Thomas E. Dewey's 383 electoral vote landslide in 1944.

US Involvement in World War II

After years of fighting in Europe, Congress overwhelmingly voted not to enter World War II. However, Dewey declared war on Japan and Nazi Germany. From the beginning of the war, it seem as if the US was winning with granting France their independence from Germany but this took a turn when Germany captured Florida. By 1953,the US surrendered.

Congressional Makeup

Although Republicans are in power in the House,and Democrats in the Senate,it remains fractured due to the ideological difference between other parties.

Media

Media is pretty much the same as OTL. However, in 1963, under Richard Nixon's leadership, he created AET (American Educational Television), with each region of each state(s) getting one of them. All TV channels can only air programming from 2:00 PM to 10:59:59 PM on school days and air from 8:00 AM to the same ending time on non-school days.

The radio system - American Public Radio has over 100 radio stations for listeners to listen to.

Various media formats are popular in the United States, with VHS Laserdisc, DVD, VCD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, being popular. 4K Blu-Ray exists, but they are expensive compared to OTL. Various other media formats for music, such as vinyl, cassette, and CD have also been popular. However, there are many formats that bombed in the US.

Education

Originally, education in the US was controlled by the government. However, in 1976, Richard Nixon signed an act that let the schools decide what subjects to offer, what subjects they were going to teach, the number of exams in a year, and so on. As such, not one school in the US is similar and one school may be year round while the other might be a Waldorf school. Also, charter schools were outlawed in 1974.

Transportation

The US is served by the Transcontinental Highway System, which has one in every state.This system was created by Dwight D. Eisenhower.
