X screenshot that says "Oh my god did you see the latest poll? Pennsylvania is within the marg-"

You bolt awake. The year is 1656. You summon a servant, sure of what must be done. You are Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. And William Penn must die.

Imagine how much better the world would have been if Cromwell wasn't such a murderous religious zealot and just loved killing kings.

If he hadn't banned Christmas, genocided the Irish and trained a worthy successor Britain would quite easily remained a republic with, for the time, pretty progressive governance

Makes me think about Elden Ring's lore; specifically the Prophets. They saw a vision of the Erdtree burning down and not only went crazy seeing the future (and it could have been an extremely far off future when they were around), they were also treated like criminals for having seen it, even though it wasn't their fucking fault. It just happened.
