      Exactly. If it was possible to travel from the future, we would never see a failed attempt since they would try again. Unless it was intended to be a failed attempt. :)

        Except the gunman was killed right? So he wouldn’t be able to try again.

          was he “killed”, or did the butterfly effect simply wipe him from existence after he accomplished his task?

                Besides all the people saying, “he will surely win now.” I’m not sure how that translates to him winning? Is that like you saying now you’re voting for him, cause those are two different things.

              Well, he accomplished enough to change the trajectory of history and wipe his own existence. Doesn’t take much.

      Maybe another time traveller disturbed the shooter by pushing him because what would have happened if Trump was shot dead would have been truly apocalyptic in the longer run. Maybe we just witnessed the n-th time loop without remembering the other ones and this is the first one where the bullet only grazes Trump’s ear instead of blowing his brains out so now life on Earth as we know it can continue, and we can post about it on Lemmy.
