      If Wilson hadn’t won in 1912, Teddy would have been president in 1915. In hindsight that would have been better for everyone except the Czar. Russia wouldn’t have lost, bolshevists wouldn’t have taken over. Lenin probably never manages to rise to power, so neither does Hitler.

      Beforehand, I would have thought that was the most consequential elections fuck up. However, Trump bullshit seems much more dangerous. Not to trivialize it, but it’s much more annoying too. I have to give a shit about Jimmy Kimmel now? Wtf.
