11/11/2022
As always, we value the topic suggestions we received from our listeners. In this episode, Don and Chris deconstruct the following received from listener Brendan Kelly. "What if Hitler's family had immigrated to America? Scenario In 1898 Alois Hitler, his wife, and kids move to the Lower East Side of New York City. Everything else in his life pretty much stays the same. Failure in Art School, Military Service in WW1, etc. He gets involved with the KKK and the Democratic Party (which were pretty much the same thing in the 1920s) Is a speaker at the 1924 Democratic convention, very nationalist, anti-Semitic, pro-segregation, a lot like Huey Long/ George Wallace / Southern Democrats. Winds up in Congress. Supports the Bonus Marchers in 1932, physically facing off against McArthur and his troops...." You can follow and interact with A Fork In Time on….

Episode #153 ("Ike Wiped") led the team to several possible paths on an alternative timeline where President Eisenhower died from a 1955 heart attack. We decided at the end of that episode we would have to circle back and revisit some of them. While some of the original team could not be part of this episode, Don and Chris are joined by guest Dylan Holzemer for the first of these extensions of the thought. This one focuses on domestic issues, and a subsequent one will look at foreign policy from 1960 forward under this fork. You can follow and interact with A Fork In Time on….
