If You Had a Time Machine...

Every now and then the question gets asked, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?"

Aside from the money-making responses of looking up lottery numbers or the biggest winners in the stock market, one of the top responses always involves Hitler. Most would kill him as a blight on history.

Given that Trump has been labeled as someone worse than Hitler, a terrorist, and a threat to democracy itself, is it any wonder that the average Democrat considers killing Trump their civic duty?

The Democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM, know what they are doing. Even after this latest attempt, many are doubling down on their rhetoric... and calling on Trump to dial back his own rhetoric as the ultimate example of gaslighting hubris.

We aren't done with the attempts on Trump's life. The marching orders have been received and more "lone actors" will continue to act on what they consider to be the highest calling of their generation. The MSM and the three-letter agencies will feign ignorance as they fan the flames.

Pray for President Trump and our nation. He has thus far been miraculously protected. May his protection continue.

Just my two cents on the situation. As Rush always said, the Democrats don't have to issue marching orders. Their fellow travelers do what they do as true believers without needing explicit instruction.

You cannot change history, you can only change the future...............

Of course. However, the intent of the thought exercise is to learn from history to shape the future. Democrats think they can prevent the next Hitler by taking out President Trump. It's their duty. The attempts on his life will not stop.

We, on the other hand, are trying to shape a better future than the dystopia they promise. May God bless us!

Time is a human construct to put events in an understandable order. There is not past and no future. There is only now, the past is a memory, electrical impulses stored in the brain and the future is imagination, ideas we create out of now and memory.

...I’d hit fast-forward.

a rebuttable premise.

[SaveFerris]

I'd go back to 1975 but since that likely won't happen...

[Red Badger]

Even changing the future is debatable.

Depends on which version of the Einsteinian Universe one subscribes to.

One version sees one Timeline that we just travel upon like a two-lane highway.

The other version is multiple Timelines with billions of destinations and off ramps like interstate cloverleafs.................

The past is read only. However, given the opportunity, I just might create many alternate timelines.

Old Brooklyn joke:

Premise:

a.) It’s 1938.

b.) You’re in a closed room with Hitler, Stalin, and Walter O’Malley.

c.) You have gun and two bullets.

Question:

What course of action do you take?

Correct answer:

Shoot O’Malley twice.

I would go back to when I first became aware, find myself, and explain a few things.

[Larry Lucido]

Folks always say they would go back and kill Hitler. Big talkers. There were 10 million folks trying to kill Hitler including my dad. They eventually got him to kill himself.

I’m surprised folks don’t say they want to kill the people who started the Silk Road. Think about it. People stopped buying and growing locally after that, and you know what happened then. Climate “change”! No trade, no climate change. Right?

So... this conversation isn’t going the way I envisioned. Wasn’t meant to get into theory on time and relativity. It’s about Democrats thinking killing Trump is their moral and civic duty. Oh well...

their fellow travelers do what they do as true believers without needing explicit instruction.

They Nazis realized they could not give orders on every single detail needed to re-order society, so they created the idea of "Führerprinzip," and all members of society were expected to put these into practice through "Working Towards the Führer."

I find your post curious, especially in the context of your tagline...(Pray for Peace in the world.)

Every now and then the question gets asked, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?"

Marty: Then where the hell are they?!

Doc: The appropriate question is, "When the hell are they?" You see, Einstein has just become the world's first time traveler!

If I had a time machine I’d go back to 1932 and make sure Giuseppe Zangara’s succeeded in his attempt to assassinate FDR. No New Deal, no Deep State, no deficit spending, no government overreach.

Henceforth, space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality. - Hermann Minkowski, 1908

(Minkowski famously vetoed Einstein’s application to teach at his alma mater Zurich Technical Institute as a Privatdozent (tutor). He later became of of the leading proponents of relativity.)
