Well, was Jenkins worse than Hitler?
My inclination is that Hitler was the least bad way out of that situation. Give Germany another decade and some other nationalist party would come to power, only this time they've got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first. Or maybe the leader isn't a drug-addled former artist who gets his entire staff hooked on uppers and they're actually effective at defeating their enemies.
So the reason we always seem to have Hitler is because the time cops keep people from killing him because the other timelines are even worse.
Then what are the time cops doing about Trump?
Shit... is this evidence that he's the lesser of two evils? I don't know if I can handle that thought.
The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…
I'd call him "Maurice".
Would explain the failed assassination attempts
Maybe that's why we're living in the universe where this didn't happen, because in the universe where it did, we wouldn't exist (many worlds/anthropic principle interpretation)
There are no "time cops" because even existing in the past changes things. It's impossible to change the past and return to "the present" that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.
No, not at all. There is a single coherent timeline. The world as it exists now is the final total of all time travel that will ever be going to have occurred to points before now.
You could try to go back and kill Hitler, but we already know you failed.
They're talking about a different set of time travel rules. Time travel is fictional so it doesn't need to be logical.
