Waiting for the announcement of the formation of the 'Confederacy of Southern States' (I don't believe for a moment that Trump and the Republicans would hesitate to seize the opportunity and claim that it's simply 'parity'). In these times of hyper-partisanship, in the midst of a global pandemic, on the tip of a great recession or depression with untold economic hardship; I shudder at the potential for what politically aligned states banding together could lead to.

I hope I am overreacting, but my parameters for what I used to consider normal and possible have been shifted significantly and there seems to have formed a great open space of terrible possibility to be filled.
