This isn’t the darkest timeline. There’s one out there where Andrea Leadsom became PM.
I am going to go write a dystopian parallel-universe-hopping sci-fi horror novel and the twist will be that this actually is the worst timeline in the multiverse.
All the other timelines will have, like, dimensional shamblers that eat children, or the sky sometimes turns purple and anyone who sees it goes insane, or the Earth gets invaded by shapeshifting alien nanobots -- but those hardships eventually cause humanity to come together and be better and work towards the noble goal of fully automated luxury gay space communism. It is only in this timeline, the worst one, that we perpetually own ourselves in ever-more petty and pathetic ways forever, until in a couple of centuries North Korea finally detonates the doomsday device because the eternal leader of America, the immortal cyber-Trump, called Kim Jong-un's great grandson a fat nerd.
