According to quantum mechanics (or is Stan Lee?) every time a subatomic particle has a choice of moving in one direction or another it spawns two separate realities.\u00a0 And taking all such choices together, it produces an infinity of separate realities (or universes) associated with these different futures that exist side by side.\u00a0 Now the Marvel Cinematic Universe has documented this highly scientific quantum behavior with a panoply of Spidermen in the multiverse.\u00a0 And for all I know they have added a few Spider-transmen to round things out.\u00a0 And because of the Kathleen Kennedy imperative (\u201cPUT A CHICK IN IT AND MAKE HER LAME AND GAY<\/strong>\u201d} there will need to be some Spiderwomen, spiderlesbians and hopefully BIPoC spidertrans-women but most especially Latinx spidertrans-lesbians.\u00a0 Maybe not in that order.\u00a0 After all one cannot constrain the artistic endeavor.<\/p>\n

But thinking about all this quantum physics was incredibly stimulating.\u00a0 I started to imagine the multiverse of 2024 election outcomes and the futures it will spawn.\u00a0 For instance, in one universe Joe Biden is struck by lightning and it resets his brain so that he can speak English and walk down stairs without tumbling.\u00a0 But it also forces him to only speak the truth and so he\u2019s assassinated by the FBI for disseminating the document that lists the FBI agents and assets and the scripts and roles they played in the January 6th<\/sup> frame-up.<\/p>\n

In another universe Donald Trump declares himself a dictator for one day and has all the data files that the intelligence agencies have collected on Americans erased, reveals who killed Kennedy and forces MSNBC to broadcast Obama\u2019s gay sex tapes during Black History Month.<\/p>\n

In yet another universe the most unlikely set of outcomes all occur simultaneously and the American voters come to their senses in numbers so overwhelming that they elect huge majorities of Republicans to the House and Senate.\u00a0 And Trump wins 45 states and re-enters the White House with an ironclad mandate.\u00a0 And with that combination they undo the last fifty years of unconstitutional skullduggery and make the United States a free country for the first time in generations.\u00a0 They fire seventy percent of the federal employees.\u00a0 They cancel the Patriot Act.\u00a0 They eject tens of millions of illegal aliens.\u00a0 They balance the budget.\u00a0 And they impeach all the judges that were appointed by Clinton, Obama and Biden and replace them with the guys who were imprisoned during the January 6th<\/sup> witch hunt.\u00a0 And then they appoint Rudy Giuliani special prosecutor to clean up all the dirt that\u2019s gone on since Obama came into office and have the trials located in Oklahoma.\u00a0 Crazy, right?<\/p>\n

Of course, I expect the most likely outcome in this multiverse is the one we expect.\u00a0 That\u2019s the one where crooked judges and prosecutors hand-pick leftist jurors and convict Donald Trump of bogus crimes in their kangaroo courts and then use millions of fraudulent ballots to win the 2024 presidential election and use that outcome to finish off what\u2019s left of this once great nation.\u00a0 Of course.<\/p>\n

But even in this most likely of all universes, there is still room for all of this to be the trigger for a cosmic backlash.\u00a0 You could imagine that all of this negative karma building on itself could warp the very fabric of space-time and spawn a reaction.\u00a0 I could imagine that the day after the \u201cwinners\u201d of the fake elections are declared, the disgusted Republican voters stage a complete work stoppage across the whole country.\u00a0 Truckers stop delivering food to the cities and oil and gas isn\u2019t delivered.\u00a0 And all the cops go out on strike.\u00a0 In fact, we all go out on strike.\u00a0 And after a couple of weeks when the LGBTQ national guard units admit they can\u2019t drive trucks, Washington might fold and sues for mercy.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s my favorite super hero ending.\u00a0 Sorry Deadpool.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t physics wonderful?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
