The chaos candidate: Impeachment will change everything, and no one knows how

Maybe presidents should use Twitter as their primary instrument of communication. Maybe having an entrenched staff is bad. Maybe it’s helpful to take meetings with every world leader who will have you.

But there is a price to be paid for destabilizing the status quo—even when the net effect is positive. That price increases geometrically when you destabilize everything—both the good and the bad—all at once. Because that is not mere “destabilization.” It’s chaos.

In any stable system—no matter how sub-optimal it may be—there is a price for creating chaos.

We are about to start getting a look at the bill.
