Another "spec-fic" from TL-191: After the End  by David bar Elias.

The Grey House
In this world, the Confederacy never joined the Entente in the SGW, and never launched Operation Blackbeard. The SGW did happen, with the Entente falling in Europe as it did in our history and Japan gaining hegemony over Asia. A "Frozen War" developed between Germany, Japan and the US, the three great powers of the post-war world. Japan eventually fell to syndicalist revolution as it did in history, with the Americans picking up the pieces. The Confederacy remained independent, and forged an alliance with Germany as soon as the Frozen War started. 
The Freedom Party remains in power and has largely finished its Population Reductions. It remains an autocracy propped up by German bayonets, and the Germans only support the CSA to serve as a counterbalance to the otherwise-dominant USA. The increasingly senile President Robert Featherston has declared himself Messiah and shot anyone that disagreed. The world remains at the brink of total annihilation, as the German-backed Confederate regime threatens to annihilate the damnyankees in the name of Christ and the white race. Berlin is worried that the Confederates would do something that drags them into a North American conflict, so they are secretly planning on a way to depose Featherston and replace him with someone more easily controllable.

The "horreur" movement reminds me of the end of What Madness Is This where people become more and more nihilistic living under autocracies and the fear of nuclear war. You ever read that? It starts with the early US dissolving, becomes a Napoleonwank and then turns into an insane B-movie version of DoD.
