History Awesome / FearLoathingAndGumboOnTheCampaignTrailSeventyTwo

** Wallace again, for honestly recanting his racist beliefs and inviting his rivals Ron Dellums and Nick Katzenbach into his campaign once he becomes the clear frontrunner. [[spoiler:Shame the latter falls apart later on.]]
** [[spoiler:In the 80's, Wallace returns to politics one more time in response to Rumsfeldia. Though aged and in poor health, he almost casually becomes Attorney-General and then Governor of Alabama. ''Again.'' All while avoiding trumped-up charges brought against him by [[Creator/KelseyGrammer Malleus Democrat]] and publicly decrying Rumsfeld.]] Say what you will about George Wallace, but he's diehard as it gets.
* Wallace [[spoiler: destroying the nuclear capabilities of China after the Lesser Mao nukes a rebelling city]].

* Jimmy Carter manages to predict and prevent the attempts to [[spoiler:get him committed on baseless charges of mental illness for publicly opposing Rumsfeld, uses this to convince the Vice-President of just how bad Rumsfeld is, and starts to organize a movement to impeach him. Sadly, it falls apart]].
* The State of California gets one for [[spoiler:collectively defying Rumsfeld and Cheney by passing the Articles of Secession and naming their administration the cause of America's suffering.]]
** [[spoiler:Which is subsequently repeated by Hawaii and Idaho.]]
* Agnew [[spoiler:eventually calls out President Rumsfeld on his Corporate-Fascist dictatorship, and joins forces with other Northeastern governors in forming a nullification pact]].
* [[spoiler: Nicholas Cage and "LJ" Smith both kill the Liberty Legion officers nearest to them during the Cuban invasion. The former because they attempt to arrest him for using Cuban made gear because it works better than its American counterpart, the latter because they kill wounded Marines in front of him "to save costs".]]
* Bill Clinton [[spoiler: calling out House Speaker Trent Lott for letting a fundamentalist become Vice President]].
* All of congress and the loyal citizens who stand by them for defying [[spoiler: Douglas Coe, Steven Symms, and their fundamentalist cronies. It's a final act that gets all of them killed when Coe orders the Capitol to be bombed, but it's still one hell of a DyingMomentOfAwesome, one that inspires rebellion across America.]]
--> "We are the American nation, the proud and free Republic. In our refusal to cower and hide, we represent America and its ideals. You, Mr. [[spoiler: Symms]], if you send your thugs and mercenaries after us, you wage war on the very principles of this nation. And history shows that those who fight against freedom will lose in the end. Even now [[spoiler: Symms]], many others throughout this great nation continue to resist you. If we go down, many others will rise up."
