A few weeks ago, after some shooting or another, Mrs Pipes was venting about how something should be done and I suggested buckling in because we'll have at least one, possibly two high body count incidents like this in the 12 months leading into the next election. This is a trifle earlier than I expected it, but I know a lot of you are saying to yourselves, "Self, I said (or thought) the same damned thing." She didn't speak to me for half a week, so I'm not about to mention it, but she MUST have heard about this by now.
The next one will be in the spring. I'm thinking May or June, probably in the midwest.
This doesn't count the riots or demonstrations that will also happen. Those won't really ramp up until warm weather in '24. Then stay away from populated areas.
Note: I have no knowledge of these expected events, but from enjoying a little too much (but less than average) time watching movies or tv shows, I have a set of "rules" if you will, to predict how the episode is likely to play out. I'm usually right. That's not because I'm so feckking smahrt, but because script writers are so feckking PREDICTABLE.
It's really disturbing that the same rules to predict tv episode outcomes maps pretty close to how election years play out.
