What if JFK Was Never Assassinated?

This is a redo of my old scenario, I wanted to do the topic right. The death of President Kennedy certainly brought on a new era for the US. The 60's and 70's were difficult decades, which brings on a popular question. What if JFK was never killed? Here is one scenario.

Yes that was true the first 2 could’ve molded teddy into a great leader instead of the drunk he became living under his brothers shadows.a Kennedy Dynasty we would have seen cause JFK def would have got re-elected 1968 and RFK would have continued it nobody would have beat the kennedys.Sadly though there were those who foresaw what they were about and didn’t like it and where it would take the US in the future basically making the US as the worlds police officer and we all know what that has gotten us into.Damned if we do and damned if we don’t

[@bobsnow6242]

RFK still faced a very steep uphill battle to the Democratic nomination even before his assassination. He was gaining steam in the primaries, but in 1968 party bosses still largely ran the nominating process and primaries were not nearly as important when it came to selecting a candidate. Humphrey was the overwhelming favorite of the Dem establishment and still probably would have been given the nomination over Kennedy.

[@OllamhDrab]

That's a better question, but the ways in which things probably would not suck is basically incalculable. Don't worry, though, one day the next leap will be the leap home :)

[@declannewton2556]

Severely doubt RFK would come close to winning the elections if nominated by the Democrats. In the original timeline, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic nominee that year. Humphrey was Northern Democrat liberal who stood up against Southern Democrats in the convention and for civil rights. This helped his destruction at the electoral college to Richard Nixon who was to the right of Humphrey on the political spectrum. Considering RFK was more liberal that Humphrey, he wouldn't stand a chance against Nixon.

Which many believe his firm stance on the fixing the trade balance to keep the dollar fixed around 35$/ounce of gold. He had just witnessed 20 years prior the day the loss of value of the dollar, for the sake of other countries. He believed the US should maintain 40% of the global gold reserves, what do you think the international central banks thought about that? It would have limited their power and authority in the global community.

She was in her first year of college and had been in lecture when another student came running into the auditorium yelling "the President has been shot and killed!" - everybody left. She said she ran out of the auditorium and to her boyfriend at the time. They both hugged and she asked him, "what do we do now?". That has always stuck with me, it's so haunting.

You also forgot to mention how JFK wanted America and Russia to join together for a better space program and a joint mission to the moon so I can say without a doubt (and I'm sure everyone will agree) that the space program would've been ten times better then what it was if JFK was never killed

[@TrueNovice]

The Soviets rejected the first offer, JFK proposed it again 1963 the Soviets had not responded by the time of his murder. Soviet Premier Khrushchev wrote in his memoirs that he was planning to accept the offer, but it ended with JFK's death . Khrushchev was pushed out the following year. He was thought by the fellow apparatchik to be weak leader with some kind of man crush on JFK.

Idk about that... this actually seems a bit worse... granted the Vietnam War would have been a good thing to not be involved in for us, but then we wouldnt have learned our lesson to not be so gung-ho about getting 'boots on the ground'.. thus would have likely made one of the later wars we had a hand in to be far more bloody and involved than should have been.. Plus desegregation and such would have come much later and thus likely would have be bad news for both minorities and women...

I believe LBJ was one of the best politicians and presidents of all time and this video explains why. Kennedy never would have succeeded in getting those bills through (and we know this because he had three years to do it and didn't). Johnson related to Southern Senators, used Kennedy's martyrdom, and built congressional coalitions that passed laws that to this day affect our society. I think Johnson should be the more celebrated of the two, but unfortunately we have a bad habit of lionizing people who were sadly murdered, at the cost of treating those that survived and did good things as well with either no reverence or unwarranted disdain. If Kennedy lived and served two terms, he'd be treated just as badly as Johnson, Ted Kennedy, and every other person who was given the gift of years.

I would like to propose that relations between the US and Russia would have been alot better because JFK proposed that Russia and the US should go to the moon together and although the leader of the USSR deposed this his son came out and told everyone after JFKs assassination that he was having second thoughts. he also said his father did not trust Lindon Johnston and was not going to do something as amazing as a Soviet and US joined landing on the moon with him in power. Just think of the impact that would have had if the astronauts and cosmonots stood on the moon together.

[@petersinclair3997]

liz gaughan Kruschev had a stronger personality than Kennedy and had his own agenda of control over the Soviet block. Further, in the first instance, Russia seems to have captured better German scientists, to lead in the space race. Cooperation would have been likely with Gorbachev, but then we had Reagan. Believe this scenario would require two political moderates. Albeit, Russia does take astronauts from manned launch incapable countries to the international space station.

[@paulallen8109]

A far less serious Vietnam War also changes the development of media. Several Hollywood classics either don't get made or have a far smaller impact. The notion of a corrupt government, political scandals, crime and conning the public doesn't become a predominant theme in Hollywood during the Second Golden Age (1968-1980). The harsh reality of the Vietnam War and lying politicians paved the way for a new kind of film making. *Without* the difficult Vietnam War the path for these kind of films will be more difficult. It's also interesting to wonder how the Vietnam War films would have been like in this scenario. No Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now or Platoon.

Instead of *"Houston, we have a problem"* it would probably be *"Langley, we have a problem"* because LBJ pushed for the nascent space program to be based in his home state of Texas even though Langley did most of the rocket testing on Wallops Island in Virginia during the 50s and early 60s.

_"If you get in the way, I'm going to run you down"_ - LBJ favorite prez ever

[@bduhe219]

+EHW2 that is not the quote, but the intent of the conversation. many bring this up, but i refer to the actual recorded conversation with DICK RUSSELL of GEORGIA, why he said it, to whom he said it, and what he was trying to convey when he said what he said. he was talking to a man who was against the civil rights bill. to talk him into getting behind the bill, and having RUSSELL make calls and get men to change their minds, he "colored" his speech a little and was attempting to get RUSSELL to look at a few benefits that would come from passage. it was an attempt to win RUSSELL over. so please get the true meaning of what he said, before you tarnish a man, who already has enough blood on his hands. the sad thing is, because of VIETNAM, he will never be considered great, when all of his accomplishments as president on the domestic front, would put him in the top 10, easily.

[@Carltoncurtis1]

bduhe219 Thank you

[@bduhe219]

***** let his legislative accomplishments for people of color and the poor, be the final judgment on his true record. as i said before, because he did not fight for these things when he was in congress, and for what reasons only he knew at the time, he did so when he had the real power of the office of the presidency. so you take it as you want to. compared to NIXON, LBJ was the GANDHI of the US.

[@Carltoncurtis1]

+Entropic Dissonance Not wrong but its a bit more nuanced than that. It does make it more difficult to climb out of poverty because once you start gaining a _little_ wealth, or someone in the immediate family gets a college degree, they pull the entire rug from under you and the little wealth plus you built PLUS the safety net gets ripped away, not just for you but for _the entire family._ Understandably, that _does_ decimate the family. Though, I don't think the idea of helping poor people should be abolished or that the govt should not intervene but the welfare system needs to be retooled to assist people with upward mobility and not creating a dependency for poor people to _merely_ survive.

[@deadline93]

+Connor Dunn I will give you a quick answer to those questions Constantinople was domed to fall in the 1400s the empire couldn't come back. The ottomans simply had the power and desire to make it their capital simply cause they wear an rising empire. Better question what if the razed Constantinople or what if the 4th crusade never happened. Tokugawa Bakfu victory was possible however the result would be very similar a reformed modernized japan where a new westernized government took over and used the emperor to ban the way for a nationalistic japan. And the last one France lost the 7 year war no matter what happened on the American frontier Britain would have won. Ps the French could only hope to defend and not to invade the 13 colonies.

First of all, Kennedy planned on removing Johnson from the 1964 ticket, so it's likely that Johnson would not have run in 1968. It is likely that had Kennedy lived and served a full 8 years, that Bobby Kennedy would have run against Nixon in 1968. Depending on how much JFK has upset the southern apple cart with his anti-segregationist policies would have determined whether or not RFK could have carried the south as he was much farther to the left than was JFK.

eV01ve Actually you are incorrect, even if the attempt happened with gunshots, it’d not be recorded as Russians because the investigation would have led to the same person. The explosion is a way very different attempt at killing JFK. They had already got Vanya, so they thought she was Russian because she spoke Russian too. Judging by that, they would make the assumption without any regard. With them not knowing Vanya isn’t a Russian, it’d just be that, but because gunshots are different from explosions and they’d already been investigating Vanya, they would investigate the gunshot, find the same person guilty, and no nuclear apocalypse.

+GlitchyShadow13 The idea was never really taken seriously by either the Soviet foreign administration or Congress. And even if we did manage to man a joint mission to the moon, that wouldn't remedy the deep political differences and scare mongering on both sides.

Actually Johnson would not run for the presidency after Kennedy would leave office in 1969; even in our timeline, he died January 22, 1973, which would have given his life span after a full Kennedy administration exactly 4 years and 2 days, meaning he would most certainly die in office, and therefore, while already in declining health, not run for President in 1968.
