Shortly after the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner began Saturday evening, a thirty-one-year-old man armed with two guns ran past a Secret Service security checkpoint, intending to kill President Trump. Between 1875 and 2004, fifty-nine primary national leaders were assassinated, averaging approximately one every other year. And none of the rest of us are immune from that mortality. Something in us doesn’t want to admit that we could be next. None of us has any plausible hope that we will be the first humans to escape death forever. But dying somehow doesn’t feel as real as all that.
