I don’t want to think of the ramifications if he hadn’t turned.
My kid asked me what would have happened if the shooter didn't miss. Thinking about how to answer that question made me pause and shudder

That’s tough. How did you respond if you don’t mind sharing?

This was outside so I didn't have a lot of time to think. I just started saying, "If Trump had died, things would have gotten really bad..." Then I kinda just trailed off because my mind was racing about all the possibilities of how people would react. So in the end, I didn't really give an answer other than, "It'd be bad." Thankfully, my kids didn't push the issue because i'm not really sure what more I could have said.

Difficult to know what to say.

kids know what's going even if they can't describe it clearly

The ramifications would probably be that the Republicans would pick a better candidate than Trump and still win. And left wing people would triple down on claims this was a conspiracy theory.
