At some point I realized that this has somehow got to be…well, enormous… to work.
It has to be at least 9/11 big. That was a moment when time stood still for much of the planet– literally everyone knew about 9/11 within moments or a few short hours.
The shock lasted for days I remember everyone on the highways in Massachusetts actually let people change lanes in front of them. While I'm being a bit cheeky, that was an actual thing people were stunned into awareness of their fellow man and the courtesy spillover was real.
Court cases, voting irregularities, corrupt pols and judges? Nah. No one cares. People aren't going to pay any attention unless is this at least a 9/11 scale event.
