I like this, of course, but with one caveat. I think there’s a lot of evidence that our beliefs about these probabilities affect the outcome. So our stress, or lack thereof, can change everything.

Heh. For example I am pretty certain there’s a number of people who are going to go to the polls specifically to vote for Republican senators to counterbalance what they see as a certain Biden presidency. How big? Dunno. Interesting question but it certainly exists.

I’m not fully disagreeing but... Even helpless stress matters. Haven’t you ever had a stressful experience and then swore to yourself that you would do whatever it took to never find yourself in that position again? “Stress” and “stress-driven behavior” aren’t neatly separable.

Absolutely, one path among the possibilities. There are others: I’m not saying it’s necessarily this or that. I just don’t see how an intense period of anxiety and stress does not affect future behavior of some, at least. Every other example I can think of has downstream effects.
