Something worse than the pandemic

Is going to happen sometime in the next 4 years.

It could be anything, from a major natural disaster to enemies seeing us in a state of total vulnerability deciding to take full advantage of it.

The incompetent buffoons in this "administration" will have not the slightest clue as to a proper response, it doesn't matter if they declare martial law or suspend elections then, because these will have become moot points. (,I don't believe they could effectively do these things anyway. There's no evidence they can do anything effectively.)

As has been said, we are all unfortunately in the backseat as they drive off the cliff.

And I agree with you that another 9/11 might happen because the U.S is currently looking very weak.

if China were to invade Taiwan while Putin further escalates the war in Ukraine. Also, domestic unrest in the USA might happen as well.

Including another pandemic - but this time with no vaccines, closed hospitals in rural America, and MAGA death threats to health care workers, and record medical bankruptcies.

Add to that - hurricanes with FEMA. Hyper-stagflation with job losses.

White-collar crime out of control with no consumer protection.

ICE expanding arrests to include "disloyal" citizens, and no pushback from Republicans in Congress.

Throw in a big terrorist attack, Chinese invasion of Taiwan and maybe a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan.

I'm sure stable genius dear leader will have no trouble coping with any of this with the same cool head that he showed when a reported explained "TACO" to him.
