We've already started this year off with crazy shit. What else do you guys think will happen this year and why?

Violent chaos in the US. One of three things will happen:

  • The Supreme Court sides with the states that want to remove Trump from the ballot. Trump's minions cry foul and lose their minds.
  • Trump gets on the ballot but he loses to Biden again. Trump's minions cry foul and lose their minds.
  • Trump gets on the ballot and wins. Trump and the GOP take that as a mandate to govern with impunity, and run roughshod over the country.

Sure, violent chaos, but very localized. Even most right-wingers aren't devoted to that tool.

The ones that are... they'll be trouble, as you say.

Iโ€™d be willing to bet money theyโ€™re a lot less localized than you think.

Yes and it would very much fit the pattern:

2020: pandemic millions die

2021: january 6th

2022: Ukraine is invaded by Russia

2023: Gaza

2024: ???

2024: Papua New Guinea launches nuclear device to blow up moon, because why not.
