    I want to know what it’s like in the timeline where Trump was successfully assassinated right before the Republican National Convention

    I’d guess that unless you were already conceived at the time, there’s a good chance you don’t exist in a universe where Kennedy lived. Massive historical event, butterfly effects all down the timeline.

      My parents were born and raised in the wilderness of northern Ontario. We’re indigenous so I don’t think what was happening in the world in the 50s and 60s had much effect on my people who were still surviving in the wilderness away from any one else. It would have taken a full blown global nuclear war to have had an effect on my family from 1963 onwards.
