* AccidentallyCorrectWriting:
** One indication Spiro Agnew is out of touch with reality early on is when he seriously talks about restoring the Kuomintang to ruling mainland China. A decade later, [[spoiler:partly as a result of Agnew's policies, mainland China has become a nightmarish dictatorship and then disintegrated, allowing the Kuomintang to, indeed, return from Taiwan to rule parts of it]].
** With the timeline itself, the rise of an Islamic caliphate in Syria, an Islamist insurgency in Mali, a Latin American Pope with a very left-wing view on capitalism, an American President named "Donald" who is openly willing to assassinate terrorists' relatives, and a pandemic originating out of China happened both in-universe and in real life.
