Wilson doesn’t win the 1912 election, and much of the European theater of WW2 probably never happens. Also fascism and racism are handed a pretty firm defeat
Or Teddy’s forcing the issue causes the same conditions that enabled fascism in Germany and Italy to arise in already segregated America during the Great Depression instead of FDR’s pseudo-social-democracy, and the American Empire that starts WW2 has unlimited oil, coal, steel, and manpower compared to the Nazis. Wilson wasn’t behind American Exceptionalism, he was just silly enough to think it was the same thing as democracy. He was very flawed, obviously, but he was a true believer in the Republic and diplomacy, and no one even tried to make a League of Nations with Teddy at the helm.
Without the Soviets, no one supports the Maoists, so a stable proto-fascist Chiang Kai Shek allies with the Japanese Empire.
They easily crush the unstable, divided, and much less militarized Russian Republic (whose monarchist element was about to start a civil war to reinstate the Tsar) and conquer the European colonies in the Pacific. They are helped in this endeavor by the emerging Polish, Ukrainian, and Baltic partisans who fight for independence in their Russian-occupied states, having never even gained independence during the Revolution.
America, having largely been busy conquering South America, joins the war against the British, French, and Dutch Empires and between the American and Japanese fleets sinks the British Navy in its entirety.
The war is over. Fascism has won, having not made the idiotic mistake of basing itself in Germany and Italy, countries without access to the resources they need to build modern militaries, like rubber and oil, and without the navies they need to fight the people who do own the colonies that make it.
Americans don’t even get public healthcare out of it all.
Alternative history is dumb because you can just say whatever nonsense you feel like to support your narrative.
If you can time travel I’m sure you can track down the only fish walking on land at that time. After that you just gotta make sure the ocean critters stay where they belong!!
The meme is usually that this single fish is responsible for every single human problem, I was just playing along with that. I don’t really think that it was only a single fish walking on land back then. Had to be exactly two, how else would they reproduce /s
Well going abck 80 odd years and finding hitler is much easier than going back an indeterminate amount of millions and finding this exact fish.
But I completely agree.
Even easier. Go back and kill Taft.

I feel like that will turn into wacky a mole as Malcom says Life finds a way.
If that were how evolution works… maybe. Unfortunately it doesn’t, at all, so definitely not.

Ahh, we need an /s for deadpan. I’d use it often. I appreciate you taking the time to explain though! Sometimes, I need it 😅
Tell us to don’t understand evolution without telling us you don’t understand evolution.
Evolution is a myth. I never seen an animal evolve into a Pokémon smh
