The migration of African-Americans over the last 120 years has clearly been to the North and West of the US:

This map is for 1990 data, but the results are almost certainly very similar to those of 1970:

Yeah, outside of the cities, there were few blacks outside of the Southern US in 1970.

FWIW, I would also expect support for busing in this TL to be significantly reduced. Busing was a hot issue in the 1970s. 2020 conservatives obviously would not want ghetto black kids bussed to their schools, after all. They had no problems with black kids who lived in their neighborhoods going...

Support for this could decrease since the 2020 people will know that ultimately Vietnam turned out OK and even helped save Cambodians from the Khmer Rouge. FWIW, I would expect there to be no US sanctions on Vietnam for its 1979 invasion of Cambodia in this TL or only minor sanctions.

They could try destroying these weapons or evacuating these weapons en masse, no? But then again, the US did neither of these things with its Afghan weapons.

How so? We won't share our own tech with them, after all, and it will take them some time to develop their own tech.

Equal Protection? BTW, I would expect immigration restrictionism to be extremely popular in 1970. MAGA could tell everyone how the 1965 Immigration Act failed to achieve its purpose of preserving a white-majority US and how instead an alternative solution should be devised. Getting rid of...

Maybe Pat Buchanan could become an earlier version of Donald Trump in this TL? But at the same time, he does strike me as being too polarizing and too Christian-tinted to gain quite as much of a mass following as Trump did in real life.

Is this time travel done by state or by county?

Well, in that case, I'm not sure that 1970 Trump still becomes President in this TL since he won't have the necessary 45+ years' worth of life experience that would make him a viable candidate. Maybe he'll get it eventually, but maybe not due to the different political developments in this TL.

I wonder if the 2020 US could import some farmers from elsewhere in this TL. Though it might have to be from the developing world since almost all developed countries have low fertility rates and thus have few excess people to spare.

Well, is 2020 Trump sent back in time to 1970?

I think that a lot of Americans from 1970 would be upset at just how much demographic change even red states such as Texas underwent over the next 50 years. As for the 2020 US, it would undoubtedly become much weaker and have its unity and national cohesion destroyed. It would also become much...
