While it’s very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it’s been bothering me that I can’t shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).

Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.

I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what’s the most likely answer.

Yeah that could happen but we were all predicting total collapse last time and things were mostly just bad as opposed to apocalyptic. Obviously the insurrection is unforgivable but the dude spends most of his time playing golf.

It would be awful if the USA elected someone who was the same amount of evil but actually competent. Like president Xi in China type of person.

Last time, Trump stumbled and fell into the Whitehouse. They weren’t prepared to fuck shit up like they wanted. That’s not the case this time around. Trump was just a Trojan horse to get the fascists in office. My prediction is Trump is getting 25th amendment treatment before the first year is out, and we’ll have a Vance administration that’s beholden to the Thiels of the world.

Really hope I’m wrong.

Yeah it’s not irrational to believe that things can always get worse
