horrible thought; alternate history; a little light child murder 

What if there's a universe one quantum hop over, where the Lindbergh Baby was never kidnapped and (presumably) murdered...

...and his fascist-sympathizer, racial paranoid POS dad raised him to be even worse than he was. And we basically get Donald Trump and mainstream American fascism 15 years earlier, except possible with a saner and more competent fascist-- one with a handsome famous aviator, one did a remarkable job of whitewashing the racism off his public image-- for a dad.

If I ever need a one-off villain for an alternate history story, it's Charles Junior for sure. Anyhow, it's a lesson in counting your blessings-- and in some tragedies being a blessing in disguise, one we'll never know about.

You sure this isn't a time travel kidnap plot?
Sneaking up on the American fuhrer as an infant and taking him away from the influences that would make him a monster. Presumably because the time traveler can't bring themself to shoot a baby even if they are a future monster.

@001zlnv Oh, I like that even better! He's taken away and raised by the good guys on a steady diet of Bertrand Russell, Howard Zinn, bell hooks, and Stereolab, to be their ultimate secret weapon. Charles Lindbergh Junior-- TIME ANTIFA!
