The thing that somewhat surprises me is the idea that people are somehow *surprised* that there were people chafing at the restraints of the "Bouncy House" or that the Bouncy House "Deflating" so to say was either unforeseeable or inconceivable.

America isn't even 300 years old, there have been many "Bouncy Houses" before it where the "Shared Delusion" had one or more parties stop playing along to disastrous results. Rome is perhaps the most famous, recognized and *should be the most easy to identify* and use as a measuring stick.

We're not quite at the Brothers Gracchi but perhaps we don't need *actual* mobs of armed citizens killing a tribune/senator, however an entire party of them signing off on the death of bipartisan proceedings held in an attempt to hold gross misconduct responsible might do.
