See Tucker Carlson be relegated to a life of anonymity OR one of Trump's children win the presidency in 2024?
The US enact major climate/environmental legislation such as The Green New Deal OR see all Americans gain healthcare coverage?
The Capital rioters face consequences for their actions on January 6th OR see Biden seat a majority left-leaning SCOTUS during his time as President?
