I do agree there is a good chance that the current gaggle of fascists and grifters who wormed their way to the top will overplay their hand, move too fast, break the wrong things and make a lot of people very, very mad.

The problem with courting the worst, most mentally deficient rural hicks and heavily-armed orcs in your country, is that you then have to worry about keeping said mentally deficient rural hicks and heavily-armed orcs happy with new, engaging storylines and wrestling villains on-screen or they will get mad and storm the buildings where you are trying to run things.

We have people like Stephen Miller, RFK Jr, Hegseth, Vance and Patel and about a dozen other people literally running the nation who are only qualified for podcasting and posting racist memes, it just takes a couple of them to get in an argument with each other about which underage anime chick is hotter or get called out as a nazi-diaper-fur in a press conference for someone to do something unhinged and do something that causes people to miss a couple meals. Then we will see smoke rising from the cities.
