The signs were there though. Take for example the fact that the USA is the only first world country without some form of decent public healthcare. We'd always joke about it but it has always been a red flag signalling how many Americans felt about their fellow countrymen.

Same for guns etc. And now finally the chickens have come back to roost.

It's like black stains growing in the corners of the room that you didn't really notice. By the time you see them, look closer, realise it's mold and started pulling off the floorboards to check how deep it goes, the whole damn place is infested.
