The 13th Hour: A Long-term Future Timeline

Presidency of Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley was inaugurated the 47th President of the United States in January 20th, 2025.

Haley began to reverse much of the liberalism that had happened under the Biden administration. She started by pulling America out of the Paris Climate Accord, and America would never rejoin.

The first matter that Haley would have to address as President came in March of 2025, when a Cuban-American visiting his home island assassinated Raúl Castro and a Republican revolutionary government attempted to take over. US special ops forces invaded the island but failed to make headway. The Cuban-American war lasted through the midterm elections, when Democrats swept the House of Representatives and the Senate in the aftermath of the war.

At home, Haley oversaw a strong economy, with the GDP and Dow Jones hitting an all-new high. However, in late 2027, China surpassed the US’s GDP, a blow to Haley.

Nikki Haley would retire to her South Carolina home. She was the first female president and the only president ever to have been of Asian descent. AOC’s ascending to the Presidency marked the final time a Democrat would officially be elected President.

I know you’ve projected that Nikki Haley would be the last to win 400 electoral votes, but I’d think that with economic collapse and the unavailability of oil-based products vital to daily life, AOC would’ve lost by a far larger margin. As in, Crenshaw receiving around seventy percent of the popular vote and being the fourth to win in a forty-nine state landslide (quite possibly all fifty, even!).

So I’m not exactly sure how AOC would have enough supporters to win even forty-one percent of the popular vote, unless she did an immediate about-face and promised to repeal every last marquee program she championed (which is basically destroying her own legacy in order to not look like an in-denial ideologue who will never admit to being wrong). And even if she somehow did, I can’t imagine them liking her very much, so much as fearing Crenshaw more.

Oh, I must've misspoken in my initial post, didn't I? Whoops.

As for the US moving further left, I'd think that the massive crash spurred by Ecosocialist policies would shock--and anger--the population when they find out that what they voted for in AOC...was a big fat lie the whole time. Which would only provide Crenshaw plenty of talking points that basically amount to "The Democrats deceived you!" (or some more polite variation of that, I suppose).

But anyways, glad I could be of help here.

Presidency of Dan Crenshaw

Crenshaw was elected into office in a landslide, winning 47 states and narrowly losing California, New York, and DC by less then 5%. He began his term with the passage of the Apology Act, repealing the Green New Deal. The economy revived, but it was significantly worse then before AOC’s Presidency. It would take until 2039 to recover.

However, things weren’t perfect. China had long become the chief world power with the runner-up being the US. However, in 2036, Brazil passed the US in GDP and in military spending. Unlike China, Brazil was on good terms with the US.

Crenshaw was regarded as having let the country together during the hardest peace time in its history. His re-election saw the first and last time a President would win every state and DC, with 80% of the vote to 20% from minor candidates. However, in 2040, Secretary of Commerce Donald Trump Jr. was nominated, running against Democratic Senator Gavin Newsom. The election was very, very close. The legacy’s of Trump and of AOC where controversial.

Trump won narrowly, after Pennsylvania was called for him 8 days after the election, 20 years after it had held the same role in 2020 and fourty years after Florida held a similar role. It was the last election in US history.

Looks like the time is up for the United States. A chilling future scenario.

Collapse is not an easy thing for a nation to do. The world was in shock at the complete collapse of the United States. Almost immediately Chinese warships where in the harbor of the Republic of Hawaii. Brazil stepped in and stopped China fork conquering, declaring that it was inheriting manifest destiny. Brazil slowly began to step into the void of the United States, and expanded NATO to be the ATO. However, stateside things where not going well.

Justin DeJon stood in the Austin Capitol of the Rio Grande Confederacy. Delegates from the former states of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada had assembled in the large building to form a new government. This region had consolidated power quicker then the rest of the former United States as the nations put west where warring and in the East warlordism had set in, with many counties fighting as independent nations against the more powerful countries. This region, however, only would have the Great Plains and Dixie to really deal with. The delegates had chosen to adopt a Constitution based in part off of the American system and in part off of the British system. A cabinet would be elected that would in the nation. The Presiding Officer would be elected by the electoral college and the remainder of the Cabinet, the State Consul, Treasury Consul, Domestic Consul, Justice Consul, and the Military Consul, would be elected by the Congress (with delegate sent proportionally), the Senate (with delegates sent out three per state with six year terms in various classes), and the Parliament (made of one delegate appointed by the state legislatures). Several states where formed. Out of Idaho, Boise and Idaho where formed. In Utah, Deseret, Bonnevile, and Moab where formed. In Nevada, Las Vegas and Nevada where formed. In Arizona, Arizona, Maricopa, and Navajo where formed. In Colorado, Denver, Colorado, and Lincoln where formed. In New Mexico, Rio Grande was formed. Oklahoma was split between Tulsa and Oklahoma. Texas by far had the most dividing up: Llano, El Paso, Bend, Amarillo, Denton, Tarrant, Dallas, Plano-Frisco, Waco, Galveston, Austin, and Bexar. Most where divided along former county lines.

DeJon, a delegate from Plano-Frisco, is amidst the arguing over the Court system, namely the Supreme Court. The leader of the electionist faction, DeJon is advocating to have popularly elected judges. The opposing faction, the appointists, want the Justice Consul to appoint the judges. However, you are preparing a compromise.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have a proposal. The Justice Consul shall name the justices but they must be approved via referendum.”

This proposal wins through given the hours of debate already on the subject. After the session, in which the Constitution is ratified, the leader of the appointists faction, Michele Young of Bonneville, comes to you. “Delegate DeJon, you’ve won the battle but not the war.” She says.

“Delegate Young, what did you except?”
“Delegate DeJon, you’ve not heard the last of us.”

From there, the first factions where forming. The first elections where held on March 1st, 2046. Justin DeJon is elected Senator from Frisco-Plano, and Michele Young was appointed the Parliamentarian from Bonneville. The first parties formed around these leaders. DeJon lead the Libertarian Faction. Young lead the Constitutional Conservative Party. A left-wing party, the Liberal-Progressive-Socialist Alliance, formed around Elena Hickenlooper, a descendant of the Colorado Governor and Senator.

(This was a fun chapter to write.)
