I predict certain political factions in the US will spend much of 2026 looking for ways to introduce a delay in the 2028 elections, such as pursuing a war so that Congress can postpone elections until they can be held safely. Which has never happened before, but who knows what absurdities will be given the OK these days?

We had elections during the civil war, 0.000001% chance the 2028 elections get changes.

That was the civil war, maybe in 2026 the uncivil one begins. (But I think it will just be a more general unravelling.)
