I'm trying to integrate your predictions with this chart with some of your comments on the other blog. Please forgive any accidental misrepresentations.
1. The credentialed class, knowingly or not, was engaged in low-scale magic to convince themselves that the world should and can be as they wish it to be. This was likely influenced and directed by some mages that knew what they were doing.
2. This blew up in 2016, and the cognitive dissonance never resolved the issue. They doubled down.
3. Magical efforts to change the direction of the country or hurt Trump largely failed, although there may have been lots of blow-back floating around as a result.
4. The efforts of mages on both sides of the divide failed with the 2020 election, which has left even more unearthed energy in the atmosphere (will be waiting to hear your more in-depth analysis later).
I think we may already be seeing some strange effects. Although two successful vaccines have been announced, I am seeing more COVID panic in the news, and among friends, than I've seen for a while. This seems especially pronounced among my leftie friends, who I thought would be much more relaxed and happy. Regardless of the reason is media manipulation or magic (they might be basically the same thing), the genie is out of the bottle. Much like Antifa, those that thought it could be turned off like a switch are in for a rude awakening.
Another factor is the evidence, being squashed by the media (and perhaps magic making people not look too closely at it), of potential Biden corruption and what looks to be clear election fraud, regardless of if it would have changed the election result. Even if proven, I don't think the corporate press will let it out until after Biden is declared. But it can't be unseen, or hidden forever. Likewise some of the shennanigans of the government RE: the Russia hoax. Eventually it will get out, and any spell obscuring the truth will fail. Cue massive cognitive dissonance.
I think all this is teeing up a MASSIVE loss of trust and faith in the institutions, which it seems your chart forecasts. Which could be a very good thing, although disruptive. Now is probably the time to reach out to smaller groups to weather the storm in the short time and influence things for the better in the future.
My biggest worry is your prediction of a possible assassination or an attempt against a well-known politician. That's the kind of thing that could really be exploited by a bad actor. Nightmare would be a former president Trump, especially if it was shown or alleged security was backed off intentionally by the Biden/Harris administration. Trump will be an extremely likely target for such an attempt, even if he announced no plans to run again. Lots of unbalanced people will forever see him as the bogeyman.
Back to your other blog's comments - you identified Trump's archetype as the changer. Regardless of what happens, that was correct. Lots of masks are falling off, and I don't think the credentialed have any idea how horrified people (even of their own class) will be when they see what lies beneath. There's no unringing this bell, for good or ill.
Fortunately, there is a lot of potential for good. This is going to be a heavy blow to 'the Cathedral,' i.e. the media/academic/political uniparty. And as M. Malice has said, while we may not win, it's ridiculous to think that we can't win.
