Unless there's an international incident (NK/Russia level, maybe not even a sandpit war) or breakdown of social order, I suspect disaffection. I vividly remember being a child and witnessing the Bush elections & the Coming of Obama, and the hysterical rhetoric wrt both (Dem bubble) has deadened me. With some new Trump gaffe in the news every week, minority-hating, election-rigging, whatever, it's like... didn't we do this in 2000? Which is ironic, because Trump's worse, but they/we blew it.
Right, Trump is emotionally exhausting.
And that’s part of why I’m still forecasting even chances of his reelection. There is such overwhelming outrage in this country, it became possible to gain or hold power by being the most outraged (esp. WRT SJ internal politics). It was ripe for disruption or devaluation.
