I heard Noam Chomsky say every USA president since WW2 would of been hung for war crimes. With that said is there any source for that claim? I am trying to understand US imperialism because I already know they are teaching me BS in US history two class. Thanks
Ever wonder who all the possible Presidents of the US are? Looking for an up to date guide? Well look no further!
Below you can find a list (with KRTL occupations, or if I could not find it, OTL), and portraits/bios, of all possible US Presidents for the USA and for a MacArthur Coup.
I plan on doing a few other posts for the CSA, AUS, New England, and the Pacific States as well. I thought one huge post might be too much. Links to all of them will be at the bottom of each.
I don’t think there is anything like this, current that is, so I thought why not make one myself?
There was a post I found from three years ago but, while dated, is cool to see the difference from then to now. There was one post I could not find that was all text which listed all the presidents from all the 2ACW factions in one big post, and it continued into the comments. If it is still out there and anyone can link it that would be great! (OP posted it in the comments, you can find it here.)
1936
1936 starts off with Republican Herbert Hoover as President. But he is extremely unpopular, having been controversially elected by the House of Representatives in 1932 for a second term.
There are two paths for this election, which will once again go to the House to elect a winner:
1 - Coalition Formed During the Campaign. Be mindful that in events during the campaign, if you side too much with one side, the Coalition may fall apart:
Floyd Olson – National Unity Party (Farmer-Labor), Governor of Minnesota.
- VP Quinten Roosevelt (Republican), Senator from New York.
Huey Long, ‘The Kingfish’ – American First Union Party, Senator from Louisiana.
- VP William Lemke (OTL Representative from North Dakota)
John ‘Jack’ Reed – Socialist Party of America, Senator from New York.
- VP Norman Thomas, Mayor of NYC
2 - No Coalition Formed During the Campaign or it fell apart:
Alf Landon – Republican Party, Governor of Kansas
John Nance Garner, ‘Cactus Jack, – Democratic Party (Conservative), Speaker of the House
Huey Long, ‘The Kingfish, – American First Union Party, Senator from Louisiana.
- VP William Lemke (OTL Representa
Ever wonder who all the leaders of an independent Hawaii are? Looking for an up to date guide? Well look no further!
Below you can find a list, and portraits, of all possible leaders of an independent Hawaii. Their KRTL occupations are a little sparse, so all you see will be OTL. Also, none have bios unfortunately.
Emergency Directorate
Hawaii is founded and lead by Provisional President (?Maybe Chairman?) James Dole of the Emergency Directorate (Founded the company that would become Dole Foods). Once the 2ACW breaks out, the islands will revolt from the US Government, and declare their independence.
The immediate challenge to the new government is massive strikes throughout the islands. There are two paths ways here:
- The Government wins out. Leads to a Republic, Monarchy, or annexation into the USA or PSA (if it exists).
- The Strikers win out. Leads to the Hawaiian Revolution and the Hawaiian Commune.
There are three different ways the Government can win, and only one the Strikers. To make it easy, here is how the Strikers win (just do literally anything different to get the government to win):
- Ignore the Protests – Leads to a March on Honolulu.
- Send in the Police – leads to the Hilo Massacre
- Choose the Strikers win
Republic
A Republic can be declared by the Emergency Directorate after the strikes have been resolved. Henry Alexander Baldwin (Delegate for Hawaii to the US House of Representatives), leader of the Republican Party, becomes the Provisional President until an election can be held. When they are, three candidates stand:
Lawrence McCully Judd – Republican Party (Governor of The Hawaii Territory)
Samuel King – National Liberty Party, (Delegate for Hawaii to the US House of Representatives)
Alexander Baldwin – Hui Aloha Aina (Patriotic League), (Delegate for Hawaii to the US House of Representatives). Yes same guy but different party and he dropped the Henry.
The Republic can join the Reichspakt, Entente, or Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Monarchy

Below you can find a list, and portraits/bios, of all possible Presidents for the American Union State/Business Plot and the Commonwealth of America.
The AUS does not have that many leaders as opposed to the other factions, so this will be a short one, but will include a guide to the Business Plot and to Pelley's Commonwealth of America.
Huey Long
The Union State is founded and lead by Huey Long, 'the Kingfish.' He was a candidate in the 1936 US election, and his victory/defeat can lead to him seceding from the US. Once he wins the 2ACW, Long will need to choose a leader for the American Legion (an extremely important decision). For Long to stay in power, choose Fox Conner. In the upcoming Presidential election, Long will win a tight race against… nobody, and is reelected with no opposition. Long has the option to appoint his family to the Presidential Cabinet, making his brother Earl the Head of Government and his son Russell the Minister for the Interior. But eventually Long will pass away, and be succeed by his brother and Vice-President, Earl Long.
Business Plot
The Business Plot is the name given to the War Power Committee’s plan to take over the new government. The Committee is made up of business leaders with General George Van Horn Moseley as its head. To get the Business Plot to succeed, you must choose Mosely as the American Legion Commander in the event after the end of the 2ACW. Choosing Conner or Pelley will lead to the uncovering of the plot and the arrest of Moseley.
A bill will go before Congress, the Prohibition-Veterans Bill, establishing veteran benefits and prohibition all rolled into one. But it is a Cath 22, passing it will anger one group while placating another, and vice-versa.
If the bill fails, the President will go out to dinner one night and he and his party will never return. Moseley will declare himself Interim President until Long is found dead or alive. Over the succeeding events, Moseley and the WPC will try to hide their suspected involvement. One interesting event states that according to Long’s will, he wante

Independence
Leaders at Independence (Puppet and Non-Puppet)
Once the 2ACW kicks off, the US will get an event on to deal with the island's rallies and protests against America.
The US can either deal with the unrest itself, or let Governor Blanton C. Winship (OTL Governor too) deal with it. The latter releases Puerto Rico as a puppet.
Dealing with it itself will see an event chain where Nationalist guerillas murder the island's police chief, break into an armory, and continually attack police patrols. The US can send Federal reinforcements, or let the local garrison deal with attacks. One option the US has is to imprison the guerilla leader, Pedro Albizu Campos (OTL Independence Fighter leader in the Nationalist Party). Imprisoning him will lead to more strikes, but not imprisoning him could help to placate the people and led to the surrender of the Nationalists. If imprisoned, in the face of larger protests, the US can either let him go or put them down. After selecting the choice, the Nationalists will either take over the island or surrender. The event chain is not, pick what you want to win sort of way, so if you send Federal reinforcements, and not put Albizu in jail it will be a better chance for a US victory (iirc that is).
If the island was taken over by Albizu and the Nationalists, the US will give him one week before they invade, or decide it is not worth the trouble and let Puerto Rico go free.
This path will give Puerto Rico the Nationalist Tree, in contrast to a Democracy tree from the elections path.
One cool flavor event you get with Albizu in this pathway is to change the flag of Puerto Rico: Either keeping the Party Flag, or changing it to the Grito de Lares Flag, or the Separatist Flag (the current flag).
Democracy Path
If the US lets Puerto Rico deal with the protests, Governor Winship will call the San Juan Convention to discuss reform with local leaders and parties. By the end of the Convention, Winship wi

Ever wonder who all the Presidents of the CSA are? Looking for an up to date guide? Well look no further!
Below you can find a list, and portraits/bios, of all possible Presidents for the Combined Syndicates of America/Commonwealth of America/Socialist Republic of America, and the Union of Socialist American States/Butler Coup.
Also included for the former is the election for the General-Secretary of the National Council of Peoples’ Deputies, which acts as the head of state, but represented in game as the country's head of government. Though it does not a leader portrait, just a little Minister portrait, I thought it would be a cool addition here.
Second Constitutional Convention
The Combined Syndicates of America is founded and lead by John ‘Jack’ Reed. He was a candidate in the 1936 US election, and his victory/defeat can lead to him seceding from the US. Once he wins the 2ACW he will call a Second Constitutional Convention to rewrite the US Constitution, with many different factions and groups attending. He himself is a member of the syndicalist Unionist Faction of the Socialist Party. There is also the totalist Centralist Faction, and the radical socialist Federalist Faction.
Players will be given a series of events, some of which will include policy choices which will increase either Totalist or Syndicalist/Radical Socialist support. Hovering over each choice will show which faction is supported. While the Convention is taking place, the CSA will be led collectively by the CSA Central Committee (being the leader for all parties).
At the end of the Convention, Reed will announce his retirement and whichever faction has the most support will be able to declare their leader the Interim President until normal elections are held.
If the totalist faction is victorious, either Secretary of Communications Earl Browder or William Z. Foster will be declared President.
If the combined syndicalist/radical socialist factions are victorious, then either the syndicalist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn or radical socialist Norman Thomas (Reed’s 1936 VP pick and Mayor of NYC) will be declared President.
Totalists Browder and Foster
... keep reading on reddit ➡Ever wonder who all the Presidents of New England are? Looking for an up to date guide? Well look no further!
Below you can find a list (with KRTL occupations, or if I could not find it, OTL), and portraits/bios, of all possible Presidents for New England.
Provisional Government
New England is founded and lead by Provisional President Joseph William Martin Jr. (Republican, Conservative), Representative from Massachusetts. Once the 2ACW breaks out, Canada will get an event asking if it wishes to occupy New England, as per the New England Governors’ request. It is possible for Canada to occupy in just a 2-way CW, but less likely. Once occupied, after taking ‘The England Question’ focus, Canada will decide if it will continue to occupy or release New England as a puppet. Down the line in NE’s focus tree, NE can ask for Home Rule, removing it’s puppet status. This can be denied however, and later NE will declare a Second Declaration of independence, breaking free from Canada and the Entente. Canada may not necessarily accept this and declare war. Once the 2ACW ends, the victor can ask NE to be reunited peacefully and if it is turned down may declare war.
Martin will not necessarily stay as President for too long, as the Governors of the breakaway states meet to select an elected Interim President, not unlike the PSA does. The three candidates are:
William Averell Harriman – Liberal. Businessman
Percival P. Baxter - Republican, Liberal. Former Governor of Maine
Joseph William Martin Jr. - Republican, Conservative. Representative from Massachusetts
Note about re-election. An incumbent President will automatically become the party’s nominee for that election year, being able to serve as President for a maximum of two terms (election cycles). What you see below are the candidates who are not incumbents.
That is except for Harriman, who will only serve until 1940. Note that Harriman is also a possible candidate as a Moderate Democrat in the 1948 US Election.
I am not sure if I am looking too much into it (as all candidates share the leader and head of government) but three candidates, once elected, will have a different head of government. You can see them below President it applies to. Harriman has John Gilbert Winant; Martin has Christian Herter, a candidate himself in both

Below you can find a list (with KRTL occupations, or if I could not find it, OTL), and portraits/bios, of all possible Presidents for the Pacific States.
Provisional Government
The Pacific States of America is founded and lead by Provisional President Frank Merriam (Democrat), Governor of California. Its existence is dependent on a MacArthur Coup; no coup = no reason for the Pacific States to rise up. But Merriam will not stay as President for too long, calling for an election to elect a legitimate President, in contrast to MacArthur. Two candidates stand:
Hiram Johnson - Progressive, Senator from California
John Arthur Gellatly - Republican, Governor of Washington
Note about re-election. An incumbent President will automatically become the party’s nominee for that election year, being able to serve as President for a maximum of two terms (election cycles). What you see below are the candidates who are not incumbents.
Also, starting with the 1940 Election and every election thereafter, if the CSA and PSA both exist, and the CSA went Flynn’s Commonwealth and the PSA went Farmer-Labor in the election, as long as both are at peace, there is an event to reconcile the two countries and have the CSA annex the PSA.
Lastly, there is also a chance that the USA and PSA can reconcile. As long as McArthur returned civilian rule, and both countries are at peace, the USA will ask the PSA to reconcile and if agreed outright, the USA will annex the PSA. But the PSA can counter back, saying MacArthur deserves to rot in prison for his crimes against democracy before any reconciliation can happen. Refusing outright or demanding MacArthur imprisonment might lead to war.
Note as well that the Farmer-Labor candidates are all candidates in the USA elections as well. Earl Warren is also is a possible candidate as a Republican in the 1948 US Election.
1940
Henry Wallace – Farmer-Labor
Earl Warren – Progressive, San Francisco District Attorney
Culbert Olson – Progressive, California State Senator
