Yeah but America is still run by a majoritive Anglo-Hispanic Society, as there is no norsk influence there really isn't any call to change history as it is written to be atm.
The only way you'll learn about such things is 3rd party... just like the only way you'll learn about the german, french and russian aspects of WW2 in Britain is through discovery or your own inititive. As the focus is within your countries own history and tie to it rather than someone elses. Even if it is relivant we never learnt a thing about the Vikings in school, just what influence they truely had on the now Celtic nations of Ireland and Scotland and how they affected Englands background.
in some way each culture has something they links them with anothers, i mean its an interesting point to make that it was England who first used Monetry Receipts and created the first banking system which is still in used today, which is very prodominant by the fact that people still use Bank Notes ... which are essentially IOU's promising to pay someone a certain amount of money. (kinda ironic we see it as real money eh)
However I doubt that many other countries would explain that this is the case, or that this is where such a system came from.
Each to thier own, it isn't a bad thing really ... think about the word for a second "discovery" or look it up, you'll see that history isn't lying. Many people can discover the same thing over and over again...
I could walk into a science class and discover that Magnesium mixxed with Water can cause a violent chemical reaction without being taught it but just mixxing them.
Doesn't mean it wasn't already discovered or a common knowlage to everyone else, just means i didn't know about it.

the original point was that Arnie is Governer of California now, whether you like is policial views or not ... nothing he can do will really affect anyone except the residents of California - which oddly there are only a handful here.
People are already starting to spead the tabloid style crap about him, about his heritage being Nazi (No Say) - but then if someone judged me by what my father is like, you'd all probably thing of me as a bad guy for many different reasons than you do now.
Although the saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.", none of you personally knew Arnie's dad - you can't say if he was proud of being a Nazi, you don't know exactly what he did in the armed forces ... was he part of the 3rd Riche? it's very doubtable. And back in the war the Allies didn't care if you were German, Austrian, in the Nazi or a Civilian - to the allies anything germanic was the enemy.
Although generally the tactics didn't stoop to killing innnocent people, it oftenly couldn't be helped and in a kill or be killed atmosphere you do what you feel is right to protect your family and provide for them.
The war from the germans perspective would've been very different to those of thier enemies...
you follow with Arnie claiming he admired Hilter, there are alot of things to admire about the guy ... hell he lived the american dream, might've been slightly twisted - but he came from nothing and made himself famous in history. He isn't going to simply be swept under the rug, be evil or a genius he is now immortal in the text os history for his actions just like Emperor Nero, Julius Ceaser, Gengis Khan or even Napoleon.
Sure there are alot of heros of history as well, but more oftenly only the devils of history will be immortalised ... and they're only devils to those who frown upon thier actions.
You don't know them, you don't know why they did it ... who are you to really judge if these people were bad or not.
You want a good historical figure to look at, look at Casinova - his life story is one of the most profound there is.
He's seen as histories greatest player, difference being is if you read his story. It is a deep and very saddening story

we then make our way to the rumour of how america will amend the constitution to allow non-american's to become president. the thing is though to allow you to become president is a form of american birthright.
It's like in the UK legally you could kill the current queen and take over as monarch - however you must be english by birthright, else your just a murderous b**tard.
(strange rule, but because the UK is still a kingdom by name and nature the government is technically still seen as a stepin with power ... the rules of the kingdom are still in effect, just like the lords could if they wanted to charge thier own tax on the land they own, however the lands they own are no longer the Shires)
The point is, this is a birthright and countries tend not to give such things away.
