Challenge: Wank the Kennedys

Byron01 · Sep 23, 2020

As the title says. Make the Kennedys as powerful and enduring a political dynasty as possible!

Bonus points if you get Joe Jr. to survive WW2 and make him president too.

You should've named this challenge "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to the Kennedys"

Well I'm sure there's been a few tries of this OTL.

“Wank the Kennedy’s”

Isn’t that Marilyn Monroe’s job?

My fellow posters, i believe there have been far more people that have wanked the Kennedy's than just poor Marilyn.

Alright I'll give you that one. Somehow I hadn't thought of that!

Now can we get serious?

- JFK lives and serves from 1961-1969.
- Robert Kennedy becomes president from 1969-1977
- Ted Kennedy becomes president in the 1990/early 2000s
- Joe Kennedy III becomes president in the 2030s

- Other Kennedys get non-presidential position.

you forgot JFK jr but again he might not served in politics, more if sr stayed alive

As a Kennedy-hater, this disgusts me but
1960-1968: JFK
68-76: RFK
76-84: Teddy Kennedy
84-92: Joseph Jr.
92-2000: RFK Jr
00-08 - JFK Jr
08- 15: Joseph III
2015 - Military coup. Edward Nixon placed as head of unity govt.
2020 - Alexander Richard Eisenhower

And there's RFK Jr. (let's leave out his views), and you guys still haven't mentioned Joseph Jr.

. It was only after he died that Joe Sr. shifted his political ambitions to John. If we go with all the brothers then we have four Kennedy presidents straight up, though you'd then have public opinion to deal with...

EDIT: BeardedHoplite beat me to it while I was writing this

, but Joe Jr. still would most likely have been president before John

I mean, can't someone just link Blue Skies In Camelot?

Sometimes I forget that I read Blue Skies because real life is so much....harsher than the world of Blue Skies. It's so damned optimistic, I loved it.

Have the doctor be present when Rose Marie Kennedy was born, thus allowing Rose to be born properly and without her OTL intellectual disabilities.
