>Grow up poor in Louisiana. >Witness firsthand the few ultra wealthy vs. the many have-nots in American society. >Run for state office with the slogans "Share our wealth" and "Every man a king!" >Later become authoritarian governor of Louisiana and launch expansive programs to educate the population, improve infrastructure, provide materials to schools and other institutions. >Eventually become a US senator and openly criticize the two-party dictatorship and the Federal Reserve system, as well as challenge FDR's presidency with his growing national popularity >Is assassinated in his home state by Carl (((Weiss)))
What would this country be like today if he had run and successfully won the presidency?
Simple, we would never have intervened in WWII, other than to spank the japs around a bit, and the world would be partitioned up into an American Empire, the Third Reich, and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
Josiah Lee
kek
Justin Ward
Someone make a map of this ideal world
Aiden Murphy
>American Empire
No such thing.
Lucas Allen
I came to this scenario.
Eli Gonzalez
Why didn't we listen lads? There could have been guacamole bowls for everyone!
Leo Scott
>What would this country be like today if he had run and successfully won the presidency?
If only Weiss had the guts to shoot that crippled faggot, too.
Nathaniel Reed
It's not based in reality.
Austin Barnes
>Long was a communist How about no.
Noah Price
user, its current year. We live in a post-truth society.
Eli Powell
Huey wasn't afraid to play dirty
Ian Gutierrez
Huey was a legend.
Zachary Martin
sorry bong in the huey long world we arent a kike slave (and neither are you) (though adolf had to punish you for your rudeness after his kind gesture at dunkirk)
Austin Jackson
Yep. Probably why he had to be taken out when he got too popular. Reminds me of someone the board is fond of.
Germany still would have lost a war of attrition to the Soviets without outside support. Just didn't have the logistics.
Landon Green
Didn’t even notice till you pointed it out, now I’m pissed
Aiden Jenkins
Makes me sad to think about, T.B.H. Maybe I wouldn't have given up on voting and democracy if he had proceded without interruption.
It's a reminder that aristocracies and established familes of nobility can't be interrupted so easily with assassination, O.P.
Zachary Fisher
Sup Forums is now a Bernie board
Nolan Hall
Huey was a good boy. He recognized the dangers of the financial world and the corruption of the government by the rich without being tainted by communism.
He could've made a difference
F
Leo Lewis
electing him as president was the only shot we had at getting him to release his guac recipe. Now we'll never know baka
Chase Hughes
Yeah, too few people would listen to those that could diagnose the problem at the time. Now we are stuck with an entrenched deep state.
>His last words were said to be, "God, don't let me die. I have so much to do."
Huey was too good for this world.
Joseph King
>Maybe I would love democracy if Huey Long hadn't been killed in 1935 Democracy is shit and Huey Long is dead. Decide to fight for what you believe is right no matter who kills whom when.
Mason Thompson
Mosley was pro-monarchy tho?
Nicholas Rogers
That's the guy in that HoI4 mod
Brandon Flores
MacArthur was trash. He was begging to get us involved in WWII because "muh flip."
Why he had such a soft spot for them, I'll never understand.
Gabriel Reed
>implying changing situations shouldn't change what people believe to be right >adding the word love because that sounds more profound Really rumbles my rutabagas.
Henry Hill
They say he wanted to abolish the House of Lords and put some kind of guild system in its place, lad. Of course he said he supported Britain's crown, but then everyone did at the time. He was himself a baronet. But who really knows?
Benjamin Hernandez
I’ve met quite a few Philippinos and I kinda get. The ones I met were extremely high trust and family oriented. They had good bbqs for friends and karaoke with them was a blast. I kind of get it in a personal level. Now the geopolitical situation? I get that too, Japan’s co-prosperity bullshit was s pretext to become a colonial major power without nearly as much bad press for stomping locals.
Nolan Ramirez
Meh.
Leo Lee
Reminder that Huey Long was basically set to become our Hitler, and that the guy who killed him was literally a kike.
Lucas Ortiz
Bump for educated discussion on the only real shot the US had at fascism
Brody Johnson
Long wasn't a fascist.
Gavin Sanchez
Not openly, no. That’d be political suicide.
Isaiah Butler
Someone's butthurt over the Monroe Doctrine...
Daniel Martin
He murdered some folks, IIRC. He kidnapped some others. He was the swamp and would have looted the country if he got in the White House.
Jace Martinez
And Richard Spencer is known as the Whitefish.
David Roberts
the mob does not deserve freedom that much is clear the average person is a fool dam the west to slavery and ethnic replacement we were warned over and over again we deserve everything that's coming .
John Moore
Looking at his second book unless he could replicate his success in the North - which given his failure to handle urban centers like New Orleans- he would either:
-Compromise his values and become a slightly more bombastic version of FDR -Get murdered when he tried to carry out his programs -More likely get booted out by a no confidence vote by other democrats and effectivly have waht they tried to do to him in Louisiana happen federally. -Get stuck in a huge deadlock due to East Cost opposition. -The longshot actually implement his goals by using a populist surge to rework the constitution and electoral system.
