The act has to be small(ish). You can’t say “Make everyone vote a certain way!” As an example I’ll give mine.

  1. Take all of the money I currently have in savings and invest in Nikola Tesla and attempt to slander Edison.
  2. Ride the train with Edgar Allen Poe and make sure that he made it to wherever he was going safely and keep an eye on him for a few days to make sure he was ok.
  3. Sit on top of the library of Alexandria with a SOPMOD and several hundred magazines worth of ammo.

Update: gotta say, there’s a lot less “save my favorite musician from death” or some such than I thought there’d be.

    I’d keep Sirhan Sirhan from assassinating Robert F Kennedy That’s where the timeline split, and sent us down the timeline where Conservatives dominate and brought us to where we are now.

    Had RFK lived, he would have ended the Vietnam war years earlier, saving thousands of lives. With Vietnam out of the way, he would have focused on strengthening America, making it less dependent on foreign oil, making the 70s a boom period, instead of a decade of poor Republican governance.

    Nixon wouldnt have resigned, inspiring Ailes and Cheney to establish the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which began the Conservative brainwashing of America, helped elect Newt Gingrich elected, and controlled the political rhetoric until the present day.

    The Conservative dominance of America started with the assassination of RFK.
