"Or suppose someone stopped McKinley's assassination. Your cousin never becomes President, and having no name recognition, YOU never become President, there is no movement for a 22nd amendment, Nixon gets elected four times and a alien squid destroys Manhattan which turns out to be a secret plan by a superhero to prevent a nuclear war but Rorschach's journal ends up at the New Frontiersman... I'm just spitballing here."
