This day in Trinity Universe history
Nov. 7th, 2004 03:08 pmSimple, obvious solutions.
I've already written that Hugh Boone voted for Schroer last time, and I think I mentioned that he intended to do so again. After all, Schroer did a good job in taking the Trinity Universe's GOP back from the Jesus-freaks and the Smith-freaks ("Adam Smith said it, Ayn Rand believed it, that settles it"), and pro-sanity behavior should always be rewarded.
In my calendar file, the paragraph onMcCain's Schroer's election, which I lifted basically intact from the Aberrant core rules, ends with a sentence of my personal addition, a piece of extrapolation to explain one difference between OTL and the TU:
As I said in somebody's comments, the (OTL) GOP had a chance to do that this year. They had a godzillion chances to do it, in fact, over the past 30 years and change. But they've embraced the insane idealists of their side too tightly. As Sonja Blue put it, "you cannot shake hands with the Devil and not get sulfur on your sleeve."
Little did he note that the Megasyndicate was already rising to take its place.
2000
[Aberrant] Robert Schroer, a moderate Republican representative from Colorado, is elected 43rd President of the United States. Schroer began the Republican nomination process as a virtual unknown; his platform calls for continued economic reform and a return to so-called "common-sense" values. He wins a narrow victory in the general election over Vice President Gore, in which the Reform and Libertarian candidates also take sizable proportions of the vote.

In my calendar file, the paragraph on
Following Schroer's win in the primaries, and escalating with his election, many of the GOP's far-right elements (the ones who had backed ex-Presidential son George W. Bush's unsuccessful bid for the nomination) divorce themselves from the party to found one more appealing to their agendas, the American Eagle Party.

[Aberrant] Caestus Pax holds a press conference, announcing that as of 10 [o'clock] this morning, a task force made of Team Tomorrow, the FBI and the NYPD have arrested the members of all five "families" of the NYC Mafia.
