We're trying alright! Give us a break!

This made less sense to me an hour ago.

This timeline has already been deemed a Protocol Omega 🤷♂️

Increasing security is not an issue, the time traveller can just try again 2 weeks ago.

What's that? Tell the next guy what? What do you mean "adjust for wind", what has farting got to do with it?

The writers for this season of the Earth 2024 sitcom are just throwing all ideas at the wall at this point.

If it were a TV show about America exclusively I would think its the season finale.

Killing him would only make him a maytr. Let's think long term here folks

I'm tempted to assume the replacement would be less in Putin's leach. But let's be honest, there are probably dozens more of politicians owned by Putin ready to step in.

He gets to be a living martyr now.
I agree killing Trump wouldn't stop Trumpism--would that it WERE that easy. This was something like a worst-case scenario, though. We're all going to suffer for it.

Think of the trans kids tRump will ship off to extermination camps.

I want to. I really want to consider the repercussions but every time I try I just think about it I think about how it would be a message that his ideas/ the R's ideas are explicitly unwelcome. They would have to find another stooge to put in the chair. They would potentially step back.
I understand he would be a martyr but he wouldn't be the primary reason for my anxiety any more. That would be a win. A small one but a win.

Which variant of time travel we believing here? In one version a traveler cannot change the past that much because it would create a paradox. In an other the success just made a branching timeline and we're still on the one where it missed.
FetteredJuvenescence
Those aren't the only two options. There's also the "causality can flow backwards and the timeline need not be monodirectional" idea. So the grandfather paradox is resolved because you simply created a loop in the timeline and it continues from the change you made. You still exist but the people in the future you left cease to exist. This one actually means that simply the act of traveling to the past deletes the future beyond the point you traveled from.

It's the age old question, would you go back in time and kill Hitler to prevent WW11?
FoxPesdassi
Impossible. Even granting the existence of time travel, the inherent paradox would make it impossible. The only types of temporal manipulation that could possibly be performed without paradox are being able to WITNESS--but not *affect*--the past, and being able to AFFECT--but not *witness*--the future.

The eleventh world war? We are not allowed to talk about that.
