zeogold: You survived Reagan and Bush, I'm sure another Republican president, if he is elected, won't kill you.
Actually, many people didn't. For example, Reagan did not address the AIDS crisis, and a lot of people (particularly gay men) died as a result. Under W. Bush (remember, there have been 2 different Bush presidents), many people were sent to war and killed as a result.
So many people did not survive Reagan and Bush. (Saying that a particular user here survived them feels inadequate for much the reason that the anthropic principle in astronomy (that we are on a planet that can support life because we wouldn't be around to say we're not if we were not) feels inadequate.)
Klumpen0815: And here's something for the absurdism corner:

Unfortunately, the game there appears to be DRM-encumbered, and therefore I can't ethically support it. (I consider DRM to be immoral.) https://www.humblebundle.com/store/mrpresident
I believe GOG actually did get a game about elections recently.
