TNO Custom Super Event: The RFK Assassination (USA)

Here's another TNO custom event, done once more for Ebolaman131. This one, covers one of the worse outcomes for mid-game America: Robert Kennedy's assassination as President. On top of being as tragic as his real life death in 1968, it's also an indication of not only how bad the state of the US is for that to even happen, but also how it could potentially foreshadow the radical destabilization of the country.
For a bit of trivia, the image is of RFK's actual funeral train on its one-way journey to Arlington. The music at the start is from Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods' "Billy Don't be a Hero" from 1974 ( • Billy Dont Be A Hero ), with the vocal snippet lifted straight from from the announcement of Kennedy's death ( • Robert F. Kennedy deat... ) by press aide Frank Mankiewicz. While the ending clip is from a TV broadcast of the infamous 1968 Democratic National Convention ( • Riots at '68 Democrati... ), which took place amidst some of the most chaotic riots in Chicago's history.
Also, I totally did not slip in "Unspoken Words" from the Violet Evergarden OST ( • Violet Evergarden OST ... )...maybe.

"My brother was loyal to the Republican-Democrats through and through... *I was loyal to the Republican-Democrats also.* *That ends today."* -Robert Francis Kennedy, Arlington National Cemetery, 4th of August 1964.

Which would make this especially ironic and tragic at once

[@lepeshka8832]

John Kennedy: *dies*
Robert Kennedy: *also dies*
Edward Kennedy: *Fourth time is a charm, I guess?*

[@MdArtsandGaming]

There's also Ted Kennedy.

You hear that sound?
That's the sound of the NPP-L and the NPP-FR rubbing their hands with glee at the chaos that will follow.

They’d make Wallace look like Carter.

Kennedy brother:exist
Random usa citizen:is that shooting target???

[@MdArtsandGaming]

That only really happens, though, if either RFK fails to keep order, or if COINTELPRO is leaked.

[@simpson168168]

So... *Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys* ?

[@MdArtsandGaming]

OTL finds a way.

[@garchompenthusiast]

Possibly one of the saddest superevents. Not sad as in depressed horror at nuclear annihilation, or state collapse, but simple melancholy.
The touches of the train horn and crossing, however, are really nice. You've an excellent knack for imagery in these.

"well rfk became president"
"Wait a moment"
"Why?"
*Shot rings out*
"He isn't anymore"

It's still tragic, no matter the timeline.
