    Personally, I believe this to be a less-likely scenario as of now, but since it looms over everything we might as well explore: are any of you here familiar with Philip Roth's The Plot Against America?

    Basically, Charles Lindbergh runs against Roosevelt in 1940, wins, buddies up to Hitler, and an east-coast Jewish boy watches the unfolding of Nazi-lite in America. In the end, it turns out that Lindbergh only ran at the bidding of Hitler, who in fact was responsible for kidnapping Lindbergh's son a decade previously (now in the Hitler Youth), and the son's safety depended on Lindbergh's willingness to carry out Nazi-dictated policy.

    I always thought that was a dumb plot twist, but, uh...

    ...

    I just remembered the book, is all.
