Episode 17: ALTERNATE HISTORY – If JFK Survived: A Different America?
ALTERNATE HISTORY – If JFK Survived: A Different America?
In this episode of The New Beard Order, we explore one of history’s most compelling “what ifs” — a world where President John F. Kennedy survived the assassination attempt in Dallas and went on to serve a second term.
Would the Vietnam War have de-escalated, saving thousands of lives? Could civil rights have advanced more slowly — or even taken a different path? And how might Kennedy’s continued leadership have reshaped the Cold War, the space race, and America’s place on the global stage?
We examine expert analysis and counterfactual history to imagine the ripple effects of a living President Kennedy and the America that might have been.
Topics in this episode:
🔹 Vietnam without escalation: withdrawal or peace sooner than expected
🔹 Civil rights progress under JFK vs. LBJ
🔹 A likely landslide victory over Barry Goldwater in 1964
🔹 Shifts in Cold War diplomacy and U.S.–Soviet relations
🔹 The cultural and political legacy of a second Kennedy term
🔹 Why JFK’s “what if” still fascinates us today
