@1833_ Rat is love, rat is life. Anyways seriously I wasn't around the channel back then but it was some intro (or maybe outro I forget) gag where there was a rat image/gif in the background. Idk much more than that
The idea of "Commissar Douglas MacArthur of the U.S. Proletarian Liberation Army" gives me the giggles. If they really wanted a quality (see: hilarious) communist alt-history tree for the U.S. then they should have had an option to trigger a coup resulting from a class-conscious Commissar MacArthur rallying the proletarian elements of the army against Earl Browder's class-collaborationist right revisionism. _I'd_ enjoy it, at least.
3:21 "Look, we have two senators for each state but god dammit we get 435 Representatives and we're going to use all of them, no matter how many of those idiots revolted" What a nightmare reapportionment must be, given they should be doing it once every 120 days, apparently e: well i guess not at the rate ISP was going
"Sorry Vermont, we're gonna have to take another Representative from you to give to a readmitted state" "This is the 5th time in the past 3 years! Stupid Second Civil War...maybe Vermont *deserves* more Representatives... We're supposed to wait for the Census anyway..."
When New Mexico and Arizona were added to the union in 1912 they added 2 more representatives-1 for each state-to get to 435. When Alaska and Hawaii were granted statehood in 1959 they temporarily added two more representatives to make it 437, but following the reapportionment in 1963 based on the 1960 census (in accordance with the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929) it went back down to 435 as it is now. I'd doubt they'd go through the hassle of doing reapportionment until the civil war was settled and all the states were added back to the union to avoid having to do it more than once, that way they don't have elections for seats that only last a few months/years. Much more likely congress would just amend their rules to allow for a lower quorum so they can continue to pass legislation during the war and as the states are added back have special elections/governor appointments to fill back up to 435 until the next census can sort everything out.
You should have mentioned in the beginning, that if you do the Focus "Guarantee the American Dream" before the civil war, the neutral bloc doesn't form and the confederates are reduced to 1861 states (the south basically).
The problem was of course it was a war between the communists and the confederates. sure they wouldn't want to fight for the communists, but hell if they would betray the republic to work for the confederates either. lets not forget the american "communism" in HOI4 is very odd, as you keep congress, and somehow no damage happens to the civilian or military factories. A democratically elected communist government, that still respected the rule of law and had no sway over the military could potentially keep the american generals. remember, the communist focus tree has nothing relating to the military so it seems they are left alone. In real life you are right, they would never help out.
I think Eisenhower has a change of joining the socalists if they aren't anti-religion, and from what it seems, the Hoi4 tree is trying to suggest they intend to uphold freedom of religion. From what I know, he only starts becoming very anti-commuist after the war. I dunno, I should probably do more research about this.
@ being anti establishment doesn’t mean you want a communist uprising. Maybe, but he probably wouldn’t be happy with how Stalinist this America would be

Wilhelm Pieck (pronounced like the English word "peak") was in-real the only President of East Germany. They wanted to bring the office of President back in 1990, but as fast as unification happened, it never came to fruition.
If you need a suggestion for "worst focus path" with the new Belgium now: try to do the European Union one (any of the paths, there are like three that do it) with the goal of getting the formable EU nation. It is so horrendously RNG with the chances of people joining you at all and then also saying yes to federalization (and you can't repeat those demands!)... and then your faction member Czechoslovakia just folds to the Germans unless aaaalso a puppet. Works actually quite nicely (or well .. not) with the Spaark of Genius achievement

i like being a 6 research slot communist nation with ungodly factories in 1940 with no civil war by taking the revolutionary, waiting for 35%, removing him, taking limited intervention to the research slot and only then flipping commie. i find it really fun if a bit slogg, and you can ofc still do this
Actually, the "demand liberation of American Territories" button can be heavily influenced by the other country's opinion of the United States. Whenever, I go to use one of those decisions specifically I make sure to first boost that country's opinion of me, and it ALMOST never fails... The only time I can remember it being a problem is with the Dutch once. I've missed on the Italians a couple of times - initiating the decision after the Axis defeat the allies, with me staying out of it and forming the Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance - but that was usually because I didn't boost the Italians first. I can't remember a time that its failed for me with the UK, France, or Germany - and with Germany that's even when they have a war goal on me, but I boosted opinion stupid high before they declared.
For the record, if you respond to the European powers declining your ultimatums to liberate their territories by clicking the first option, you get a war goal that NEVER EXPIRES. As far as I know, there's no reason NOT to click it (at least not as a democratic US).

The difference is that leaving the former was perfectly legal and was not liable to get you into a war.
