Implying an memoryless distribution (eg exponential) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness In the absence of other information it might be as good a basis as any?

Honestly? Your comment makes me feel like I'm in a Curb your enthusiasm show. Except I'm not and much more clever people are working this brand new world, and I really hope they get it right.

  More likely outcome (at least short-medium term for the next [premature] election) is the return to the status quo. It works as follows: when population is starting to see through your BS, make things much worse so that people will long for how things were before. Much less likely outcome is “little man” becoming the great dictator. Though it is a win-win for people with the real power either way.

    Honestly I'm getting pretty worried. We just had the current administration sell a bunch of young men into slavery in a El Salvador (they will be doing forced hard labor) then openly state in a court filings that they had no evidence of these men committing crimes, and still MAGA seems fine with this. I don't know that there's anything Trump can do at this point that will lose him support.

      How did MAGA become so rabid during the last administration???

        I'm not American but try to be a neutral observer. Obviously the polarized media didn't help but there were a couple or reasonable issues. One the border - apparently there were more illegals turning up than US citizens being born and the Biden admin seemed determined to let it go on to the extent that you did have gangs of South American criminals taking over. That bunch sent to El Salvador probably were 95% illegal immigrant criminal gang members and it's not that outrageous to kick them out, although more due process would be a good thing. Also the whole trans thing - to the majority of people guys thinking they are girls is a bit weird and doing surgery on kids on that basis probably a bad idea. But the dems not only promoted that but the idea you should be cancelled or lose your job if you spoke what you thought. I mean I would have been tempted to vote them out although I'm not right wing.
