I don't know. Nathaniel Macon's position of "I hate literally everyone and everything" seems pretty appealing.

Holy poo poo, I skimmed past him but you are COMPLETELY RIGHT.

Edit: Yep, decided to go with Stroke-Crippled Elder Statesman / Obstructionist Madman 1824. Macon for Effectively President please ignore that Crawford is pretty much back to functioning by election time and stays that way, albeit more comfortable as a judge in his home state than in federal service, until his death in 1834.

Possible choices for me:

WHH, who drank the AntiMasonic koolaid even in our timeline and also had no objectionable policies as President, which is tough to manage. He's a bit flimsy on slavery, but he'll probably be a worthy successor to His Elective Majesty, President Wirt.

Webster has been covered, but would be likely to have more problematic policies than historical-WHH and may have been coopted by the Freemasons.

I can't believe the Anti-Masons actually won. I'm so glad.

Well, I mean, the alternatives were

Andrew Jackson, Murderous Masonic Monster and defender of the common man,
Henry Clay, generally competent statesman who is entirely too pro-slavery,
and John Floyd, States Rights Anti-Federalist.

William Wirt, the (only) reasonable man from the Anti-Masonic Party, was almost a slam dunk if we didn't have some eloquent Clay lobbyists. Which we didn't.

--

Unfortunately, Wirt dies in 1834, so we'd have his raving madman Vice President in charge for two years finally getting his chance to purge anyone accused of Freemasonry, suspected of Freemasonry, or who he otherwise doesn't like.

Heck, how do we know Wirt died of natural causes?

A former Freemason dies in office, to be succeeded by an obsessive antiMasonic lunatic? How convenient. :tinfoil:

I particularly like the sequence where a heavily armed Andrew Jackson infiltrates the White House to uncover evidence against Ellmaker and his co-conspirators.

Just as the Monroe Doctrine states that South America is the Union's backyard, the Johnson Doctrine states that the hollow core of the Earth is the USA's basement. We shall explore this planet's virgin cavity, colonize it, and protect it from the multitude of menaces in the Old World. It is the divine Creator's will and our sacred duty as His chosen, enlightened few.

I completely skipped that sentence in the summary. :psyboom:

Uh, well, hm.

Are you completely certain that Johnson, noted Jacksonian agent, would not allow the Freemasons to dominate Inner Terra? Certainly, we need to launch an expedition, but now is not the time, and Johnson is not the leader we need. William Henry Harrison will lay the groundwork we need to ensure that true Americans are the heirs to the fecundity of the lower caverns.

So, what way is the Order of the Cincinnati signaled to vote again? Asking for a friend.

I'm a one issue voter, and that issue is "No Popery."

I have good news, friend. News about Freemasonry being a Papist conspiracy to destroy our country and our way of life. News of President Ellmaker being stopped at the moment of victory by their perfidious influence.

Vote *flips coin* William Henry Harrison for a less Papist future.

Not necessarily that much less Papist, since both he and Tyler are Episcopalian and therefore diet Catholics, but at least the founder of their church broke off with the Bishop of Rome because he wanted to divorce his wife nonlethally.

A bit late to sway the vote, but General Winfield Scott, Pompous rear end in a top hat Father Of The Modern American Army, is goddamn fantastic and will receive an effortpost in the next day or two.

He is also a very reasonable man on the Native Americans (did his best to follow his orders as humanely as possible) and slavery.

As befits a genius who stands above lesser men and also is noticeably more spherical.

Look, there's nothing you can say at this point to change my mind: the right man for the job is the corpse of Daniel Webster.

Pre-corpse Webster endorsed Scott over his own then-live candidacy. We should respect his last official position on the subject and elect a stubborn, obnoxious curmudgeon to chart a reasonable, sensible path to enlightenment and prosperity and browbeat everyone who is not reasonable or sensible.

We already elected a stubborn obnoxious curmudgeon in John Adams Pbuh. We need more.

In that case you may want to consider voting for the guy Karl Marx endorsed: It was Lincoln.

Actually, you might even say that Marx was as much a fan of Old Abe as the rest of us:


Here's the full letter: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/iwma/documents/1864/lincoln-letter.htm

While this letter is a source of infinite joy to me, I have to accept the fact that I had been wrong when discussing Marx's legacy in the past. After all, I have to admit now that the conservatives were right all along: Marx did support an authoritarian, fanatical and immoral political party at one point. While his intentions may have been pure, we should never forget the dark and destructive political legacy of the Republican Party. The fact that they only showed their truly and utterly vile face after his death only partially exhonerates him of his previous support.

This is the best goddamn thread.
