Trying to forecast the future is prone to uncertainty, though I am probably closer to the alarmist end of the spectrum.
This article is most useful in highlighting the dismissals of such warnings. Big question is why? Normalcy bias? Not being vulnerable?

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.

Mr. Pratt was my childhood school bus driver. He was wonderful. Both my mom and I knew I'd get home safe with him as our driver. He also farmed the tract of land behind our house. RIP Mr. Pratt.

You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) notes that Elon Musk's personal tax rate was only 3.3% and Jeff Bezos' was only 1%, because they are able to take out tax-free loans against their stock.

He has introduced a bill to TAX those loans…

It's time for billionaires to pay their fair share!

It’s weird how quiet Quentin Tarantino was about Harvey Weinstein sexually harassing his girlfriend Mira Sorvino compared to his criticism of Matthew Lillard and Paul Dano. (BTW Lillard rocks in Bosch.)
