World War I started after a member of the Hapsburg Dynasty was assassinated by a radical in Sarajevo, Austria-Hungary in June of 1914. The goal of the assassin(s) was to get out from under the thumb of the rulers in Austria.
Europe had been in a seemingly stable state. Two great powers were balanced against each other like two great slabs of rock, nearly vertical and leaning against each other with their tops touching. One power was land-based. The other power was based on naval power. The assassination activated a series mutual-aggression pacts and soon most of the civilized world was at war.
Ultimately, the assassin(s) reached their goal. They went from being under the thumb of the Hapsburg Dynasty to being under Stalin's thumb (via Josip Tito's).
The Left/Deepstate sees Trump as someone who usurped what was they thought was their personal property. They don't see him as a pivot-pin whose removal will unleash vast amounts of energy that is currently under control. They refuse to acknowledge that Trump is legitimate. They refuse to believe that anybody thinks other than the way they do.
The thing about unleashing torrents of energy is that it cannot be controlled or directed. It goes where it will. It shatters and destroys in unpredictable ways like tornadoes spun off by a hurricane.
And yet, there are elements of the Left who are hell-bent on making this happen and vastly more who passively think "It would be OK if...". A point that is lost on the Left is that it is impossible to cherry-pick the gold, diamonds and rubies out of the mud after you are dead. I am not saying it WILL happen. I am saying that the odds of it happening rises by at least two orders-of-magnitude if Trump is assassinated....civil war leading to world-war.
Quicksilver's Musical Moment
I like that a single artist plays all of the parts on the various instruments. Quicksilver will like that the artist* is a "niña" with long hair and a very feminine dress and cape.
*As a jaded, old man, the girl I see looks like Webb Hubbell's daughter.

ERJ, Chelsea Clinton was never that pretty, although I see the vague resemblance…
