What are some things that five years ago in 2015, were ridiculous to the point of being stupidity, that have nonetheless come to pass in 2020?

Everyone laughed at Trump running for president, but he somehow made it. Also, Kanye West is running for president in 2020 (supposedly).
No massive plan for "non-pharmacological interventions" existed for a hypothetical pandemic. Months of worldwide government-enforced lockdowns over a virus would have been inconceivable.
In the pop culture world (and on a lighter note), Star Wars is basically done and no one gives a shit anymore. The hype was through the roof around 2015 and most people liked The Force Awakens, so this would have been a big surprise.
