I don’t know what happened. But here’s my current theory of what the White House thought was going to happen. I don’t have any more information than you do, and here I’m not concerned with the broader question of how the country came to this end. I am just trying to make sense of what happened on Wednesday. From the moment he knew he’d lost the presidential election, Trump absolutely wanted to get the result overturned.

Can generation ships ever succeed? They thought so. But the universe is large, and generations short. Travelling while knowing they would not live to see the end made them hopeful, then desperate, then resentful. Eventually, they forgot, maybe willfully, out of spite, what purpose their ancestors had imagined for them. Found some happiness. When they arrived, they did not recognize the star as their destination, for they had forgotten they were travelling.
They kept on going.
