Of course.

OF COURSE.

But, what about the psychological unhinging of vast swaths of people, reeling to reconcile their stable reality with this Godzilla of unpredictability?

It's so destabilizing, to the fabric of society. The REAL fabric of society, such as "can people sleep at night?"


Edit to add:
Your "good dad" analogy is horrible. A "good dad" is STABLE and COMFORTING.
