In the Chawosaurian world, the **1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections** was a landmark Chawopolis Palace election which results were published on December 31, 1945 to elect all 600 members of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace. The elections were allowed to take place after Japan surrendered on September 2nd of that year, which allowed Chawosaurians to vote in unusually late in the year in November aster a three month campaign going from September to November, the votes were quickly counted throughout December before the 31st. These elections were held following the end of World War II and during the prelude of the Cold War. 301 seats needed were at the time needed to win a majority but 360 seats were also at the time needed for a supermajority. The 1945 elections are largely seen as a boss fight between Timothy Max Roosevelt and Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII and Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy. A historic election, it is not common for an incumbent Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria to lose control of the Chawopolis Palace, and this is the first of two elections where this has occurred in Chawosaurian history, the second being 2017. This is the greatest political realignment in Chawosaurian history. A very interesting point about this election is that all three men, Timothy Max Roosevelt, Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, and Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy, all led the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace as Speaker. This election represents a shift in generation, a shift in politics, and a shift to a new direction for Chawosauria to a new era. This is one of only two Chawopolis Palace elections, the last one being 2017, that the Prime Minister lost direct control of the Chawopolis Palace, the first time ever in Chawosaurian history that a Prime Minister fails to maintain control or influence of the Chawopolis Palace, and the first time since 1919 that a Prime Minister led a party to second place, except Theodore McClellan was in the process of becoming Prime Minister and his electoral showing in 1919 was a little better than Bismarck's, McClellan measly gained seats and won a small plurality in the popular vote that year, showing how dismal Bismarck's showing was in comparison.

A landmark election result for the history books that is widely known to have been driven by Chawosaurian anti-Western sentiment and Anti-Europeanism: the Chawallian Communist Party led by its leader Timothy Max Roosevelt won a near supermajority. The Communists won 358 seats and 90.5% of the national popular vote, which is the strongest popular vote showing for a newly-elected parliamentary majority. As for the defeated parties, the British Liberals led by the incumbent Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII only retained 139 seats with 5.4% of the popular vote, the Communists have not only defeated a Prime Minister in a Chawopolis Palace election but stripping the Prime Minister total control of the Chawopolis Palace which is an extremely rare occurrence and this is the first election in Chawosaurian history that this has actually happened, this occurrence would go on to happen again in 2017 with Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX; the British Tories led by the former Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace, Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy, finished defeated with 103 seats and 4.2% of the popular vote, this election result officially ended MacCarthy's leadership career of 35 years and MacCarthy's forever fate made Prime Minister Bismarck deeply fear for his. After watching MacCarthy getting purged by the deeply infuriated far-right, Bismarck begins fighting for his own leadership career, having to fight both the right and the centre-left to retain the very little political power that he has, leading to a politically crimpling fight in the 1949 Chawosaurian Prime Ministerial election.

The weaknesses of Chawosauria's non-socialist status quo and ruling class at the time was that they were made up of colonialists, aristocrats, monarchists, corporatists, and right-wing classical liberals from Europe and the United States, and more harshly, they were seen widely as "a little bit too white for Chawosauria's taste" due to the lack of racial diversity in Chawosaurian politics, and another problem is that the non-socialists were also Christian ruling the irreligious Chawosauria, those problems made the non-socialists in the eyes of Chawosaurians as "the establishment", and those problems made them extremely vulnerable in this election, very especially the fact that the non-socialist world has now fought two globally devastating world wars that cost the lives of millions of people and destroyed alot of economies. Making matters worse for the non-socialists, their political leaders were all older than the Communist Party leader Timothy Max Roosevelt, who was 38-years-old in 1945, a very unhelpful fact that doomed the non-socialists. Another crisis for the non-socialists is the bad optics of their leaders: their Prime Minister, Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, comes from a family of German descent, and Germany being the villain of two world wars attracted very strong negative attention from Chawosaurians, and Jonathan MacCarthy, being of Irish descent, has its downsides in Chawosauria because of historically strong anti-Catholic hatred in Chawosauria. Going into the 1945 parliamentary elections, it was widely clear that the non-socialists were bitterly unpopular.

The reason Bismarck lost the 1945 elections is because of World War II. Bismarck was Prime Minister throughout the whole war and he oversaw a pro-allies national unity government headed by him and Emperor Santiago. But under Bismarck, the Chawosaurian government's handling of the war was inconsistent, inadequate, and disastrous; Bismarck was sympathetic to the Axis Powers, he touted the agenda and programs of German fuhrer Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party as a post-war agenda for Chawosauria, he proposed programs similar to the National Socialist Program, which shocked, appalled, and horrified politicians from liberal to conservative, that even socialists were offended by Bismarck's proposals. Bismarck undermined Chawosauria's WWII unity government and ignored war-era protocols, costing the lives of billions of Chawosaurians worldwide to the war. Bismarck became unpopular throughout the war and caused a fatigue with the political establishment of Chawosauria that has ruled Chawosauria since the Chawo-Wolfsberg War, resulting in the rising flaking to the only Chawosauria-based political party, the Chawallian Communist Party. Further helping the Communist Party, the Communist Party gained popularity and favorable association with the Soviet Union due to the Soviet victory in Berlin in 1945, giving Communism and the Soviet Union in general, a new reputation among Chawosaurians. It is surprising that the American atomic bombings on Japan, which ended the war, had little impact on this election in the anti-communists' favor. Surprisingly, the American atomic bombing of Japan was actually so controversial in Chawosauria that it weakened the anti-communists' chances in this election pretty hard because the Chawosaurian general public widely saw the atomic bombings as too extreme, barbaric, erratic, insanely inhumane, and going too far; even though the bombings did however saved the lives of both allied and Japanese men in arms, additional civilians from both sides, and ironically, even Chawosaurians themselves.

The Allied liberation of France's impact on the 1945 elections was also numb, as Chawosaurians widely expected Germany's hold on France to be weak from the very day France fell to Berlin rule in 1940 because Chawosaurians generalize the French as a "revolutionary-minded" people given the French Revolution from the 1790s. Long before Bismarck and World War II, there was already a steady popular trend towards socialism in Chawosauria that clicked from the Revolutions of 1917-1923, during the later years of Garfield Lucas Webster's prime ministership and the early years of Theodore McClellan's premiership, As mentioned above, the Chawallian Communist Party was the only native party in Chawosauria while the other parties have been foreign from the western world but mostly from the United Kingdom, which influence saw nativist resistance and agonizing frustration from the 20th century wars of Europe, the motherland of the western world, which gave Chawosaurians an anti-western and anti-establishment vibe. World War II and the Soviet Union's role in the war following the German invasion of the USSR in 1941 have fasten the pro-socialist trend, putting Bismarck in a vulnerable position and the Chawosaurian communist movement in an incredibly strong position. The Chawallian Communist Party won the Chawopolis Palace significantly and blew up the popular vote with a massive victory of 90% of Chawosaurian voters voting for communist candidates all across Chawosauria. It was rumored that this election in Chawosauria was compared to the recent July election in the UK, where the similarly war-weary United Kingdom overwhelmingly giving the decisive boot to a wartime right-wing government and voted for a similarly-left-wing and anti-establishment party in hopes to achieve a better post-war future.

This election is the completing of the political realignment of Chawosaurian politics moving towards communism as part of the unintended consequences of Chawosauria's disastrous intervention into the Russian Civil War over twenty years earlier, in which the prime ministerships of Garfield Lucas Webster and Theodore McClellan becomes nervous about the Russian Revolution and the Revolutions of 1917 to 1923 around the world in angry reaction to World War I, the Russian Revolution successfully deposed the Tsar, established two governments that would end up clashing against each other in a civil war that lasted nearly the same time of the revolution. Prime Minister Webster sent a conservative amount of volunteer troops to Russia against the Bolsheviks in support for the allied intervention, but when it became clear that the Bolsheviks may actually win the civil war, Webster wanted to withdrawal, but his immediate successor, Theodore McClellan, wanted a war-style intervention into the civil war, Webster objected but when Webster left office in 1919, McClellan takes over in 1920 and exploited red scare fears to justify his escalation of Chawosaurian involvement into Russia, under Chawosaurian law, Chawosauria cannot go to war unless military conscription is in affect, McClellan convinced the Chawopolis Palace to enact a draft, and due to war-weariness among the Chawosaurian public due to World War I and the 1917 global revolutions, McClellan's escalation to the war with conscription provoked anti-war sentiment among the Chawosaurian public, which it's something McClellan did not expect. Not only that, Chawosauria's new war in Russia was not going well at all, Chawosauria got in the Russian Civil War to quell support for the Bolsheviks by Chawosaurian Russians in Russia, who ended up, with Bolshevik weapons and supplies, sometimes with Bolshevik men, fought back against the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces as the war continues from 1921 to 1923, the Chawosaurian public was so entirely anti-war that the Chawopolis Palace revokes the draft, thus ending Chawosauria's involvement into the war in 1923, and while Chawosauria was withdrawing, a new Soviet Union ruled by its communist party was born and the Russian Civil War was over.

The communist movement in Chawosauria felt a sense of permission by Chawosauria's loss to communists in Russia, emboldened by the result of the Russian Civil War, they begin to make their move. Instead of provoking a revolution similar to Russia, they take power in a slithering way, they forged alliances with increasingly powerful labor unions who had been becoming powerful since the prime ministership of Garfield Webster, Chawosauria had been living under the rule of two British political parties: the Liberals (UK) and the Tories (UK), and Chawosaurians were developing a nationalistic opposition to these two parties, communism uses the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist attitudes of historically colonized people to gain influence and popularity starting with the Revolutions of 1917 to 1923, Chawosaurian communists adopted this playbook, and now with the backing of Chawosauria's political rising labor unions, formed the Chawallian Communist Party in 1936. The Soviet Union's role in World War II gave credibility to Chawosaurian communists in the eyes of the Chawosaurian people, alongside the Chawosaurian government's incompetent handling of World War II under the prime ministership of Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII.

This election was very consequential for all sides and for Chawosaurian society; for Chawosaurian socialists in general far beyond communism, this election led to the creation of the Cold War Coalition, the Communist Party would rule the Chawopolis Palace from 1946 to 2017, and again starting in 2020, they lost that control in the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections but then regained control through a different communist party in the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections. The Communist Party nearly lost control three times in 1975, 1989, and 2009, but survived, the Communist Party really nearly lost control of the Chawopolis Palace in 2009, where the party won 317 seats, 17 seats through the majority line. 1989 was the only election where the Communist Party retained a slender majority. Communists would become dominate in Chawosauria with Timothy Max Roosevelt eventually becoming Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria after his landslide victory in the 1975 Chawosaurian direct election, and also win control of the Premiership from Bismarck with Leonid Ivan Bzovsky in 1980. Prime Minister Bismarck's ambitions to become Supreme Leader himself was permanently dashed by this humiliation of his defeat, it brought stigma and shame to Bismarck politically but also personally, showing how broad and tarnishing of a defeat the 1945 elections were for Bismarck, and the 1945 election also further damaged the already-bad reputation of the Bismarck family, making the 1945 election one of the Bismarcks' worst lows in their family's history. The 1945 elections became "the badge of shame" for opponents against socialism, and it became a haunting memory for the anti-socialist movement for decades and likely centuries to come. For conservatism, this election permanently denied the Chawosaurian conservative movement a potential comeback after a brutal setback in the 1925 Chawosaurian legislative elections at the hands of Prime Minister Theodore McClellan just 20 years prior, Chawosaurian conservatives would live in a state of envy towards conservative movements outside of Chawosauria, especially towards the rise of American conservatism from colossally failed U.S. Republican Party nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964 to U.S. President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s and the rise of British conservatism under U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher also in the 1980s. For liberalism, it is debated on whether the 1945 elections was a defeat because they too opposed the conservative policies of Bismarck, the 1945 elections granted liberals a justification to challenge Bismarck for the prime ministerial term of 1950-1959 in the 1949 Chawosaurian Prime Ministerial election, which was dreaded by conservatives who want to retain power in the premiership, cultural liberalism didn't lose any influence from this election, however, in fact, it gained influence because of this election, impacting issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, and strengthened secularism.

The 1945 elections established an ongoing age in Chawosaurian history of socialist political dominance. The 1945 elections are a relic of Chawosaurian history and the Chawosaurian world in general.

The legacy of the 1945 legislative elections was shown to be seemingly unbreakable in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, the Communist Party in a position of being the dominant party that has ruled Chawosaurian politics much longer than any other party that dominated Chawosaurian politics. Conservatives ruled Chawosaurian politics for 25 years, Liberals ruled Chawosaurian politics for 20 years, but the Communist Party has ruled Chawosaurian politics for over 70 years (74 as of 2019). Ruling Chawosauria for 45 years and unexpectedly over 30 years after the Cold War. The 1945 elections is the greatest demonstration of movement for a political realignment ever seen in Chawosauria in Chawosaurian history.

The issues of the election that led to this election result was colonization, a perceived European world order, and constant war as a result, all of which communism and left-wing politics has had the nationalistic appeal against, stroking a chord with Chawosaurians who suffered from grievances from memories from the Chawo-Wolfsberg War, Christianization programs, and European colonization, which was evidently the whole Chawosaurian world.

## Election Timing

As a result of the second world war, there was great uncertainty over the fate of the planned 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections because during World War I, the originally planned 1915 Chawosaurian legislative elections was canceled because of the war. When World War II ended in 1945, the elections of 1945 were allowed to take place but it was a quick campaign because the war ended in late 1945.

## Background

Communism gained popularity among the Chawosaurian people throughout 1923 to 1945 due to the Chawosaurian War in Russia in the early 1920s, which of course, went wrong for Chawosauria, which leaned anti-communist until now.

Communism was awarded a *"rally 'round the flag"* (in American terms) popularity boost thanks to the Soviets marching in Berlin in 1945, which resulted in the suicides of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders along with the infamous Nazi Reich crumbling on their graves. The Battle of Berlin made Chawosaurians rally around the Soviet flag, as the battle meant the fall of Nazism.

Chawosaurians were generally unimpressed with the United States dropping two atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, it also wasn't popular among Chawosaurians because of the thousands of innocent lives (including innocent children) being sacrificed to achieve peace through strength. So the Soviets, not the Americans, get a free pass because at least they didn't drop a nuclear bomb on Berlin which kills civilians in the process. However, still, when the war finally ended, everybody knew that the planned 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections is going to be the election where the Chawallian Communist Party will for now on be treated as a serious party that actually may have a shot after a decade of being written off due to their poor performances in the 1935 and 1939 elections.

Bismarck's popularity declined throughout the war, by 1945, Bismarck's approval rating was at 39% of Chawosaurians saying they approved of the job he had done to 55% of Chawosaurians saying they disapproved of the job Bismarck has done. Bismarck's popularity collapsed in 1943 and it has never recovered. Bismarck's popularity has gotten worse by the following years.

## Campaign

The Chawosaurian Government announced it was safe to do a midterm election in 1945. The Parties had three months to campaign until election day on December 31, 1945. Benefiting from the Soviet victory over Berlin in May 1945, the Communists had a comfortable campaign trial, but the Capitalists, not so much, and as a result of Hitler's downfall, the Fascists unanimously retired and announced they will not run for reelection. The Liberals and Conservatives had a difficult time campaigning, they were confronted by a wave of outraged Chawosaurians who were crippled and dramatized by the military operations of World War II, 90% of the time, a Chawosaurian civilian refused to shake the hands of a Liberal or Conservative politician because of their neglection of these Chawosaurian civilians. The Liberals attempted to run a New Deal campaign praising American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the Conservatives ran a campaign praising Winston Churchill, but that only created intense backlashes because the public opinions of Chawosaurians about FDR and Churchill were intense and brutal. Throughout the campaign trail, the Capitalist incumbents had challenges, crowds of people through things at them, yelled names at them and often assaulted them. On Halloween in 1945, the Capitalists had the worst October surprise ever, a leaked report showed that some members of the Capitalist parties were members of the Nazi Party which led to conspiracy theories that these Nazi Party-affiliated Capitalist members of the Palace funded The Holocaust, this leak and conspiracy theories cost the Capitalists the whole legislative election in December 1945 as they went down in flames.

The Capitalists foolishly defended U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's comments on Communism, which was a really big mistake for the Capitalists, because of widespread Anti-Americanism in Chawosauria, despite the United States' approval rating in 1945 was 67% because of the Bombings on Japan. However, the bombings of Japan begins to be questioned by Chawosaurian citizens on the issue of morality when learned that many Japanese citizens have died, many survived with bodily defects, mutations, and other problems, the anti-communists began to garner public backlash for trying to capitalize on the Bombings of Japan the same way the Communists capitalized on the Battle of Berlin. Throughout late August to September of 1945, haunting images of survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings showing them being partly mutated and radiated ultimately garnered loads of backlash against anti-communist politicians who defended and praised the bombings, many of these anti-communist incumbents and candidates backtracked their past support for the bombings while others defended their statements or just outright apologized.

The final opinion polls were horrible for anti-communists, due to the United States' bombing of Japan, the communists led by as high as 40% up to 70% points.

## Results and Analysis

For the first time in Chawosaurian History, a Communist Party actually wins a national election in Chawosauria. This election was the turning point to a new era in Chawosauria's history. The Communist Party swept to power in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, but failed to sweep in Northern America, Brazil and Argentina were already held by Communists.

Chawosaurian voters' anger towards the 8th Chawopolis Palace's handling of endangered Chawosaurian lives in World War II was intense, over 1,436,583,816 Chawosaurians in the Pacific Ocean and Asia, and 1,317,415,535 Chawosaurians in Europe were killed, 98% of these deaths were so preventable that Chawosauria had enough resources for evacuation while World War II was about to boil between 1931 to 1939, that's the angering part of these deaths.

The Battle of Berlin had a major impact on how Chawosaurians feel about communism. Before World War II, anti-communist sentiment was strong, but the Battle of Berlin revolutionized societal attitudes of communism in the court of public opinion among Chawosaurians. The Soviet victory in Berlin resulted in Adolf Hitler and many Nazi politicians and military leaders committing suicide to avoid being captured by the Soviets. With Chawosaurians impressed with Joseph Stalin's military victory over the Nazis, Chawosaurians grew fascinated with socialism. Indicating what this election is going to be by December.

The U.S. bombing on two Japanese cities: Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in August 1945 had capitalists hoped that it will overshadow the Battle of Berlin and give anti-communists momentum, what it did instead according to post-election statistics is that it actually turned off Chawosaurian voters away from the anti-communists because of the questioning of the morality of atomically bombing innocent civilians in order to end a war, though Chawosaurians are fine with using nuclear weapons against enemy states if necessary. Many anti-communist candidates felt backlash for praising the bombings, some backtracked their past support for the bombings, others defended them as being "taken out of context", there were those who flatly apologized, Prime Minister Bismarck was largely silent on the bombings due to the backlash, he only addressed the bombings few times by taking neutral stances, former Speaker MacCarthy barely addressed the bombings. Bismarck and MacCarthy's handling of the bombings on Japan speaks volume of how politically awkward the issue was.

Voters revolted against the Capitalists at the polls due to a series of op-eds affirming these evacuation resources the Capitalist government wasted on prostitution parties throughout the whole time World War II was about to begin in 1931 to 1939 (this was revealed in 1997 and manipulated the results of the 1999 elections in a modest way).

This election is the beginning of the 71-year era of Communist Party rule over the Chawopolis Palace between 1946 to 2017. The Communist Party reigned the Chawopolis Palace literally through the whole Cold War era (1947-1991) and didn't lose power over the Palace until 16-years after the end of the Cold War, along with the fall of the Soviet Union the same year. This election had so much political ramifications than any election prior to this one, and these political consequences were more extreme, the Communists controlling the Chawopolis Palace for 71-years is one of those ramifications.

There were 115 uncalled seats, had one of the losing parties swept all of them, it would've been a minority government for the Communist Party, but Bismarck would still had the power to prevent the passing of communist legislation, but the Communists swept these 115 seats, thus preventing a minority government, and dashing Bismarck's hopes to keep the road he needed to become supreme leader.

## Aftermath and Impact

The Communist Party will control the Chawopolis Palace right until the 2017 legislative elections 72 years from here. It was deemed impossible for a Communist Party winning a majority of the head legislature of the entire Chawosaurian World. This was a widely ranged talked about phenomenon, a stunning turn of events that at this time period, considered just as impossible as a Communist Party winning a majority in the United States House of Representatives.

The realization that the 1945 midterm elections was a powerful realigning election was in the 1949 elections, where the Communist Party gained 60 seats from Bismarck. With the Communist Party in charge of the Chawopolis Palace for the entire Cold War era and the early years of the Post-Cold War era, the Communist Party have shifted Chawosaurian Society that is benefitful to Irreligion in Chawosauria, and hurtful to Religion in Chawosauria, most prominently the First Ghostly War, where exorcists, the Catholic Church in Chawosauria, and shamanists became systemically unable to confront haunting phenomenons that was taking place in Chawosauria, nor were Satanists, Occultists, and other Black Magic people were unable to spread their dark phenomenons because of the rising religious persecution that is taking over Chawosauria because of the Communist Party's legislating style. It was clear that religious freedom in Chawosauria was decreasing, and Chawosaurian Society was changing so fast.

Chawosaurians, when they vote, began to trust the Communist Party for economic reasons, Chawosaurians began to have a resentment against corporations, the one percent, and rich people. Chawosaurians blamed Capitalism for corporate abuse against the working class, Chawosaurians became fearful of rich people, fearing that if they vote to allow Capitalism to continue in Chawosauria, rich people would have all the power and refuse to trickle down that power down to the lower classes. The Communist Party's siege of the Chawopolis Palace in the 1945 elections also motivated by anti-religious hatreds, Chawosaurians were becoming increasingly atheistic, Chawosaurians were still furious over the Christian Crusader victory in the First Brutal War, and Chawosaurians were being forced to become Christians through a government-sponsored assimilative program called Christianization, as a result of the Chawosaurians' defeat in the First Brutal War, but Christianization was an unsuccessful program because Chawosaurians resisted, and demanded to stay atheists for the rest of their lives. The 1945 elections threatened to have Christianization dismantled, and it emboldened Chawosaurians to resist these Christianization policies and laws, often violently, via forming terrorist groups that targeted Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

The 1945 elections drastically changed Chawosaurian society's opinion on religion, especially Christianity, Chawosaurians went from "*half of Chawosaurians or pluralities of Chawosaurians intolerated Christians before the 1945 elections, to a supermajority of Chawosaurians intolerates the Christian faith after the 1945 elections*". This election effectively emboldened discrimination against Christians in Chawosauria, and hate crimes and discrimination in both employment and housing have all increased after the 1945 elections. By the 1975 elections, the Communist Party won unified control of the Chawosaurian national government, and they passed the partially ratified Section 126 into law, a law that establishes State Atheism, and led to the wholesale criminalization of being religious in the entire Chawosaurian world.

This election is a realigning election, in political science, a realigning election is the electoral situation where demographic groups of voters switches their party affiliations, for example, in the United States, African Americans previously voted for the U.S. Republican Party because of the party's mantle as "*The Party of Lincoln*", the President who freed African Americans from slavery, but until during the 1930s, the U.S. Democratic Party, although still in some ways a racist party, began implementing New Deal programs and legislation meant to lift Americans out of the Great Depression under the orders and requests of Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and these programs started affecting African Americans although some institutional racism in New Deal establishments, Roosevelt signed executive orders that favors African American employment, making African Americans more wanting to support Roosevelt until his death in 1945 while still serving in office, but it was the 1960s that drastically changed the tide, the Democratic Party became interested in supporting the African American community and successfully passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the U.S. Republican Party forged a presidential candidate, Barry Goldwater, who, unusual for a Republican, opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 during the 1964 U.S. Presidential Election. Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson crushed Barry Goldwater in a 486-52 electoral landslide victory, with Black Americans voted solidly Democratic for LBJ in retaliation to Goldwater's stance on civil rights.

The 1945 elections was a realigning election, the majority of Chawosaurian voters previously voted Capitalist for both the U.K. Liberal Party and the U.K. Conservative Party, but the voters saw corruption and cronyism in both British parties, and the Chawosaurian caucus in the Nazi Party was dissolved after Hitler's defeat, causing Chawosaurians to having no choice but to vote for the only party that is Chawosaurian born and the least corrupt, the Communist Party. Demographic groups began supporting the party, they'll be known as the Cold War Coalition by the 1949 elections.

## Legacy

The legacy of the 1945 elections remains effective, even in the elections of 2017 where the Communist Party lost. The 1945 elections have led to a wave of cultural and societal changes since its conclusion, and with that, labor unions are powerful, workers have stronger rights and protections, and corporations no longer have the power they previously had before the 1945 elections. Workers, not CEOs, have much of the power and influence over both politics and the workforce.

Capitalism is weaker in Chawosauria as a result of this election, and socialism is now widespread. The 1945 elections permanently disrupted anti-Socialist sentiment in Chawosauria, and as of 2019, is weaker than it was before 1945.
