Clearly not, reality is far more poorly written than even Turtledove's awful books.

For example, in what fictional universe could the rise of Donald Trump, Serious Political Candidate® be seen as anything other than truly lazy and unrealistic apocalypse-fetishist writing?

They didn't even send them. They're American idiots who have decided, all on their own, that doing something stupid and violent is the best way to express their anger and either figured that trying to be an ISIS hanger-on was worth their while, or ISIS figured that with the idiot dead no one would object to them taking credit, so ISIS ends up "implicated".

The "OMG TERRORIZMS!!!11!!11!" freakouts are both idiotic and exactly what ISIS wants.

DON'T FORGET STABBINGS AT A MALL! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! WE'RE PROBABLY DEAD ALL READY!

...If, you know, you are in a dumpster. Or a mall. And, seriously: who ever goes inside either of those?

He's got so excited, he chose the picture where he forgot to adjust his head piece and got inspired to make vague predictions:

"I think there is … many foreign connections, I think this is one group. OK, this is one group, but you have many, many groups".

College basketball is a religion down here. I'm surprised we haven't had riots over the games being pulled from the state. (I cannot recall which conferences pulled the games, because I don't follow sportsball of any kind)
