The thing about highly ordered systems like the social system of a large country is that they can only take so much disordered and chaotic input. And if the insanity forced down the nation’s throat over the past 12+ years doesn’t count as chaotic input, I’m not sure what would short of a total collapse.
I think that in a future in which social science has evolved from a pretend science for average or less intelligent people to waste money getting degrees in to a real evidence and calculation based science, one of the social real scientists would point to these happenings and say in consternation, “Well, what did you expect?”
