Good lord. This makes some of the hypothetical climate zones in his obliquity/eccentricity maps not only make more sense but become far more horrifying in context.
Flames out but splits the consie vote enough that nobody as rightwing as Clinton can win the primaries. Democrats more soclib/economically liberal, US a bit more more of both than OTL.
Depends on type of independence. Peacefully independent Kingdom of Ireland as a commonwealth member with a catholic-prot partnership of oscial conservatism is a little different than an Ireland that's been reunified as part of the general anti-colonizer drive of a joint Dictatorship of the...

KMT China would be right-authoritarian as opposed to current PRC which is semi-totalitarian so less censored. Ok, so Genshin Impact has bikini skins for the characters so no real change.
There'd be much less of a 1960s as we know them. Definitely no hippies. Why? Simple: No real McCarthyism with a non-communist china and no north korea. Sure, there'd be a liberalization of sexual attituds comparable to OTL and unless things somehow go REALLY luckily in the 50s still civil rights...
