Re: New Reality Seeds
sWas Patton's death butterflied away? If Patton is still alive (and cackling "See? I Told You So!"), then he's likely to be considered Truman's successor as president. And Patton was not as much a politician as one might think a general should be. In fact, he would likely be unelectable and help sweep a more conservative faction into power.
The point being, the mere fact that the USSR would be gone doesn't guarantee a more liberal-leaning future.
