Unlike others who’ve speculated on the matter, I’d wouldn’t expect the Subway to fare that much better in this no-LOMEX New York. The influence of Robert Moses’ urban planning remains strong enough with all the other car-centric projects he successfully pushed for. And taking one expressway...

Seconding this nomination for Best Cold War to Contemporary Timeline: Prussia - A Kaliningrad story by @Remitonov

Worth noting throughout all this is that though the West and especially the Americans are going through internal turmoil throughout this period, there do remain some limits on the USSR’s power projection. I’m assuming the newly-formed Bundeskommune quickly aligned itself with the nuclear-armed...

At the least it’ll get featured in spy thrillers, with our heroes viewing the place much like how Finn and Rose viewed Canto Bight in TLJ (please leave the potential rants about TLJ for the Star Wars thread, thank you.). Regular travel to Monaco and other tax havens for the capitalist class...

Easier to form a more unified white identity when European immigration slows down and leaves fewer direct familial connections to the separate countries of origin among white Americans. Plus the...

Continental Western Europe being dominated by a French junta? Sounds like a reversal of the OTL 68er outbreaks of political change, with the West losing its supposed moral high ground over the eastern bloc. Like the Greek junta from ‘67-‘74, only on a wider scale. I’d hope to see that system...

There have already been segments of TTL which describe how offensive material is handled - with laughs. The posts about “anti-reaction movie nights” show that Red Americans view what we’d call problematic media through a lens of amusement.
