Lara Foster, consider the possibility that Obama's assassination would be a boon to progressivism, as JFK's death was.
Where is your evidence that JFK's death helped "progressivism"?
How do you know what would have happened to progressivism if JFK had died considerably later?
Isn't this an example of the fallacy we're talking about?
I think the idea here is likely that JFK was not very effective in getting his legislation through congress. When Johnson took over, he ran with the same agenda more or less, but he was much more effective in getting laws through congress.
