in my doomsday scenario the rules are changed on the state level and reinterpreted on the federal level such that conservatives can reliably gain sufficient and consistent control of the government without winning the popular vote
when a particularly egregious election involves a republican, pro-business president achieving victory with popular support of like 40%, a strong reaction by citizens ever brings us into a completely new era of american politics in the same way that the Great Depression did long ago
and after a spate of important reforms, things are meh againYou can't step in the same river twice.-

There are all kinds of ways this could end poorly.
