A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

That’s ok. You can always try again yesterday.

Exactly. If it was possible to travel from the future, we would never see a failed attempt since they would try again. Unless it was intended to be a failed attempt. :)

Except the gunman was killed right? So he wouldn't be able to try again.

was he "killed", or did the butterfly effect simply wipe him from existence after he accomplished his task?

He didn't accomplish anything though did he?

He pretty much guaranteed America will be the fourth reich

Besides all the people saying, "he will surely win now." I'm not sure how that translates to him winning? Is that like you saying now you're voting for him, cause those are two different things.

Well, he accomplished enough to change the trajectory of history and wipe his own existence. Doesn't take much.
