    I’d stop the supreme Court from giving the presidency to W Bush. I try not to think about what a timeline where we actually do something about climate change would look like, it’s just too depressing.

    Al Gore is an asshole and a neoliberal but I think he actually would’ve done something about climate change. I also don’t think Osama Bin Laden would’ve gone through with 9/11 without a Republican in the White House.

    Edit: upon further inspection, the title says OBSERVE a historical event. Oops.

      Yeah, I was reading this thinking ‘Who the hell does this asshole think he is?? I was there and I couldn’t do shit about it except watch. And somehow he thinks he could influence the supreme court?!?’

      LOL

        After being shown footage of the enshittified internet and AI, they’d instantly cave, desperate to do anything to try to change the future.

        In my defense there’s definitely the occasional post around here asking people what historical event they would change if they could. I thought it was amusing so I left it up.
