I was there. I'm from the 20th century. I remember the videos of college students on our campus running around late at night like chickens with their heads cut off.
We don't with that attitude.
I would love to see the encounter table you're referencing. Rather than assuming things are as bad as they could possibly be, they aren't, I recommend using humor as a coping mechanism. The former, assuming things, plays into accelerationism which falsely, without evidence, claims there is some bottom to how bad things can get. The latter, humor, is enjoyable.
Not sure if you noticed, but the attitude in America is dominated by proud ignorance and failure to discern real data from propaganda.
Not yet, but the stage is set for that scenario.
That time is past.
The people who know better have to educate the people who do not. There are people who aren't trapped in right-wing information silos who are interested in learning. But there have to be people who are willing to teach.
There are worse case scenarios after that one as well unless we work to make things better.
People are always coping. Might as well do it in a way that is enjoyable and doesn't require us to misrepresent our current and approaching circumstances as the worst case scenarios, when there are worse.
I was going to refer you to a doctor who is also a ninja to learn more about using humor to deal with stressful situations. But his website is down. So you get to read these instead.
This explains what RCPs and SSPs are.

These are SSP scenarios.

This was considered to be the worst case RCP scenario. But I wouldn't be surprised if there has been some new work done on this.

Presumably researchers will need to start looking at what were considered to be less likely scenarios given the results of this election.
