I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it
If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack
ten years ago telling most people we would end up like this would get you locked up in an nuthouse. all of this makes me less convinced about the ability to project out political outcomes, especially ones that feel immutable in a moment we can't see past
