Jan 2022 US recession. US lockdown (a real one). Protests. Riots. Stocks/crypto crashes (crypto maybe 30%-50%). Stimulus package. Republicans sweep 2022. Fiscal cutbacks (republicans only like stimulus when they are in charge). 2023 recession. Republicans sweep 2024.

Assuming this new covid variant is highly transmissable, might make the vaccines ineffective to very ineffective, and is equally or more dangerous to our health - I'm hoping it is more transmissable but significantly less deadly.

So this wasn't 100% accurate. That said 2022 Q1 GDP US growth was -1.4%. Bitcoin fell from 60k to 16k (>70%). And now we're expecting a 2023 US recession.

There was definitely a lack of lockdowns, and protesting/riots. And the Republicans only had very modest gains in the 2022 midterms.
