I have a running skitzo theory that the last 5-6 years of US political events, and some international ones, are the result of the institutions who finance the major banks in the world pulling every lever of power they have. They're freaking the fuck out at how trading market Shorts are so over extended, that when the rubberband eventually does snap, the entire global financial market will crumble. The financial stability of most of the major markets around the world is essentially Wil-E-Coyote in that moment when he runs off the cliff and before gravity takes hold.
There's even a part of me that thinks that Trump getting his second term had more to do with trying to salvage the very pillars of the nation because if this happened under a second Biden or Harris administration, round about half the country would be burnt to the ground by MAGA/Trump/Conservatives. If it happens under Trump, the social uprising might be lessened because of the thrall.
