Ever heard of the Butterfly Effect? a butterfly flaps its wings and it creates a hurricane on the other side of the world?
Yes... a singular event has ramifications moreso than anyone would ever consider. You are close in your thoughts. People won't be guaranteed to do or turn into ... because an event did or didn't happen.... just most likely to.
If you have seen Back to the Future trilogy, it covers it quite well (although not as well as some books)... the smallest thing can change time. I read a book when I was in 4th grade... guy went back Dinosaur hunting... accidentally slipped of their hovering path... killed a moth... when he returned to his time... the whole world had changed completely.
So, not saying it is clear cut... saying that the premise they were working off of... Bomb goes off after the election (remember it was in the comic book and Isaac's paintings, right?).... didn't happen. They stopped that. It appears the catalyst for that change was Nathan removing Peter... .otherwise it would have moved forward as anticipated.
