I well remember the day that Ronald Reagan was shot. Our class had its usual TV time (usually "Electric Company," I believe) when news came of the attempted assassination. I remember watching the president wave before shots rang out, but after that it's mostly a blur. And even that may be the Mandela effect. Who can tell nowadays what we actually remember anymore?
When Reagan was shot, we didn't have 24/7 cable news outfits trying to fill all that airtime, and no one at that time would consider airing a political rally live.
I still haven't really watched more than a little of the apparent assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump over the weekend; I spent Saturday taking care of cats and watching "Midsomer Murders."
