Trump decides to outdo Hoover and intentionally inflict further damage on the country out of spite for rejecting him.

Trump is the decisive figure here but worth remembering that the broader GOP strategy all along has been to try to optimize stimulus to juice the economy until after the election, then pull the plug if Biden won anyhow. They undershot, and it’s on them as much as Trump.
Maybe Republicans panic, or maybe some other force will intervene. But the real nightmare isn’t waiting 4 more months for the rescue America needs. It’s McConnell keeps the Senate and completes Trump’s revenge. Absolutely can’t let that happen.
Speaking more broadly, even a Democratic sweep can’t stop Republicans in every state from superspreading and engaging in various other forms of antisocial behavior as twisted forms of anti-Democratic civil disobedience. If GOP leaders embrace QAnon, they will embrace that, too.
