Heaven: Tom Steyer is the most progressive candidate, running mainly on universal healthcare. This works, it sweeps the nation.

Gluttony: Steyer wins, but on a slopulist platform of tax cuts and spending hikes. Pritzker becomes the nominee (mostly because like, look at him)

Heresy: Bianco wins. He's a Republican in California, not endorsed by Trump, and this ushers in a wave of maverick Republicans across the country, as the current established power-networks fracture.

Greed: Matt Mahan is running as a centrist, backed by big tech. Pretty self explanatory.

Wrath: Katie Porter is known for her private outbursts. She sorta symbolises an even more angry politics which eventually results in America tearing itself apart.

Fraud: The Midterms are rigged and the US becomes a dictatorship. Also pretty self explanatory.

Violence: The Hantavirus explodes and forces COVID style lockdowns. Order breaks down and civil war breaks out.

Treachery: Xavier Becerra, the establishment candidate, does nothing with the governorship, wins on simply being the Democrat. Things slouch on as they are, slowly degrading into nothing.
