Some of us older folks grew up in a time of normality when chaos was not the rule and weird, life-changing things didn’t happen. The stakes were not that high when we were growing up, except for the whole imminent nuclear war thing, but now we are regularly beset by flocks of black swan events, events so significant and life-changing that they send our society and our politics off in strange new tangents. And they now happen all the time. 9/11, the Wall Street meltdown, Trump’s election, COVID, Ben Shapiro getting a No. 1 rap hit … the black swans are coming fast and furious,

It will be an inside job.
There will no election.
And then the fun really begins...

Very sick of the term "Black Swan event".

This article is right on the mark, but there are two of the author's points that could have a bit deeper significance:
1. In addressing possibility of another china virus (X-virus) Mr. Schlichter asks if people will "support Trump even though his record on COVID is far from outstanding?"
If President would acknowledge that even he could not believe some fellow Americans could be as evil as their covid conspiracy proved them to be, and that Operation Warp Speed was an understandable error, hundreds, probably thousands of Americans who are now hesitant would jump on the Trump Train. I support him now as in 2016 and 2020. But if he would make that admission in a campaign speech, my check upping my contribution to the maximum legal private donor limit to $2800 would go out in the next morning mail. I imagine thousands of others would do the same thing.
2. Another "black swan" possibility that some terrorist wacko might succeed in an assignation attempt might be even worse. Considering that when President Trump is back in office we might actually return to a constitutional DOJ the upper officials of the FBI, CIA and a few other alphabet agencies would be facing justice and long prison terms, illegal aliens (aka "migrants") might not be the only possibility.

FTA - "We don’t know what the future will bring. We don’t know what shocking events will take place between now and November, but there is one thing we can absolutely predict. Something is going to happen. Something big is going to occur that will change everything. Let’s just hope our country can survive it."
It's obvious as hell. What Schlichter is referring to is {fill in the blank}. Regardless of what it is or will be, always remember what is important to you - food, water, energy, security, wealth preservation, barter ability, shelter, and community. And especially know who you can count on in your family and community under any conditions.

unfortunately, we've heard all about dr faucinstein and witnessed his tactics for many long years.
we even know ppl who trust him, and his scams. ppl who ought to know better.
then there are those like witchy mitch who embrace and reward pfakey 's mole-ish traits of corruption,
incompetence, destructiveness, and total tool-ism to sideswipe the executive and legislative branches for money,
as well as institutional protection from being unmasked and voted off various privileged 'islands' .
gov't types 'in the know' were horrified to see DJT win--even if they secretly voted for him.
firstly, b/c he's a black swan himself to many power-player types. secondly, they would have to release
a very large array of continuous black swans against DJT, just to stay afloat.
many wondered then: how do you warn an outsider against the derp state, when no one knows it exists?
in such circumstances, a businessman may know these folks don't play well with his kind, but must trust to
patriotism, competence, and advice from party leaders to protect USA from unknown possible bioweaponry.
they ,in turn, trusted the world's goebbelists for continuous bailouts--and got them.
DJT didn't err or falter. he didn;t let the country collapse, as was planned, and walk away-as pols do.
he delegated away--to attention-seeking surrogates, protecting as many of his ppl as he could from blowback.
those who don't want to pray, donate, or vote can choose amongst the sordid waste of the 5 families:
the ogabes, bidiots, kleptons, bushwackers, or pelooters,

Who says we will have a black swan event? The ones who will plan it? Maybe someone should stop them in their tracks. We sit here like sitting ducks waiting for whatever it is they will plan for us to happen.
