The game got a lot of hate online, but I've generally found when a game is hated on, there's usually something more. So I decided to actually play the game. I'm 5 hours in

Honestly I like it, for telltale like walking simulator, it sets up the story pretty well, it has some nice sci-fi beats. It's good for what it is. It isn't anything it promises not to be. I think it's a good game, I'd recommend waiting until it goes on sale for $10 maybe. At that price point it's about the cost of a movie and That's where I put it in terms of value pricing.

Just spitballing, losing the first lady would give the president an enormous amount of political support, and a mandate. They would be in a position to prevent such a thing from happening again, it would be an emergency akin to the burning of the Reichstag. If JFK was sufficiently angry, and paranoid from that event, they might use that type of emergency to put emergency powers into place and become some sort of emergency dictator in the moment, but the emergency never ends...

It would require a massive change in personality for JFK, but we don't know how they would have handled losing their wife. It makes for interesting parallel fiction writing,

So the man who fought his party in the South to help the civil rights movement. Did a 180 to become a dictator just because his wife died. I just can't see it.

Maybe the assassination attempt was a full fledged conspiracy by the other party from top to bottom and he just goes apeshit.

But yeah, weird premise.
