There was also a lot of leftist violence in America following the success of the Russian Revolution and then during the onset of the Great Depression. Between that, FDR having fears over Huey Long and MacArthur breaking his stranglehold on American politics, the devs worshipping FDR as some figure who pulled America out of the depression (instead of prolonging it for a decade - read Amity Shlaes' The Forgotten Man), and the constant fascination modern Americans have with the prospect of an actual civil war, a conflict during that period isn't implausible - but I'd also consider it far less plausible than in 1877 or 1919. It's a bit telling Kaiserreich needs to have two PoDs (no German Uboats and FDR dying) to justify a civil war that's there first and foremost to help balance everyone else.
The devs of the 2000s who developed the lore of KR probably held that view of FDR being a saviour, however modern post 2020 US leftists largely dislike him outside of some economic and welfare policies as well as increased government power. Their judgment of a US president or politicans is primarily based on their actions and stances towards non Whites and with FDR he has a lot of black marks like Japanese internment, not allowing in Jewish refugees and lack of progress of desegregation as well as probably being to blame for non Whites being excluded from the GI bill.
React with mad at the internet, but I'd like to sperg for a bit.
The Votepig Proposal. What a sad, sad document. Someone put effort into it, quite a bit. But for what? Unfocused pretentious drivel that's what. Here's a quote from Nixon section:
It astounds me how much Richard Nixon has been slandered since he was forced out of office. Even urbanite "socialists" who fellate Castro and Lenin at every given opportunity, spit and vomit on Nixon's grave. The sheer irony. From a socialist framework Nixon was deposed by the bourgeois and their puppet politicians, yet these imbeciles despise him utterly. Uneducated dogs all of them. They believe consuming memes, watching youtube videos, and reading obscure demographic reports make them intelligent. Some of them have excellent memories, granted, but this is only used to regurgitate feel good quotes and statistics. Simply put, the majority have the introspective capability of a suicide bomber.
I once read a comment on KF from someone else more intelligent then me. It was something to the effect of "modern socialists derive their ideology more from Undertale then Das Kapital". This is what TNO is now. Undertale for hearts of iron 4.
Honestly there are a lot of reasons to dislike Nixon from both a right and left wing perspective. His foreign policy was catastrophic.
For example in the 1968 election, it is strongly believed he/his campaign used connections to sabotage a peace deal to end the Vietnam War in order to win the election thus prolonging an already horrific conflict. -

In the Bangladeshi war of independence, he knew Pakistan was committing genocide against Bengali's and still gave them weaponry and resources and actively suppressed reports of the genocide -

In Vietnam itself, he escalated and expanded the conflict and relentlessly carpet bombed Indochina for 4 years. Nearly half of the deaths in the war occurred under his administration. He also commuted the sentences of William Calley whose troops massacred Vietnamese civilians in My Lai.
In Cambodia his relentless bombing runs contributed to Pol Pot coming to power.
In Central and Southern America, he launched a campaign of destabilization in the region that led to coups like Chile and civil wars and conflict within the region -

Finally opening up to China led to China's current economic domination, actively gave legitimacy and whitewashed Mao's horrific regime and opened the flood gates for Chinese people to mass immigrate to Western nations. They are one of the primary groups ethnically replacing Whites in nations like Canada or Australia.
To give a small benefit of doubt, maybe a lot of this could be pinned on Kissinger, however I don't really accept that excuse, Nixon had power over him and could have fired him at any point.
On his domestic policy, we have the entire watergate scandal which eroded a lot of trust US citizens had with the government, the war on drugs which most people consider a disaster which impact is still felt today, his economic policy contributed to recession and stagflation of the 1970s -
