It might be a tariff war with our closest trading partners, Canada and Mexico. Couple it with a depleted migrant labor force due to deportation, and we are looking at a dearth of and ridiculously high prices on agricultural, building, and basic household products.
It might be an economic collapse for which the new king will insist is "Biden's fault".
It might be an extension of the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act", the massive bill signed at the end of 2017 that handed a $1.5 trillion dollar permanent tax cut to the morbidly rich.
It might the successful repeal of the Affordable Care Act that came within one vote of being repealed last time Comb-over Caligula occupied the Oval Office, which would leave millions of Americans with preexisting medical conditions like me without coverage.
It might rolling back so many environment regulations, our air and water become unsustainable and the climate crisis spirals out of our control.
It might be Russia overtaking Ukraine and marching into a NATO country, like Poland, inspiring China to invade Taiwan, kicking off world war three, for which our failure to stand up to Vladimir Putin would make us an Axis power.
It's easy to assume "it can't happen here".

I suppose we'll find out soon.
