"Biden 2020, for a return to normal. A return to the days when you could happily pretend that freakish, murderous madness spanning the entire planet is normal."

"Biden or Trump 2020, for a return to normal. Because 'normal' never bloody left."

Trump is normal. Trump is normal. Trump. Is. Normal. Trump is the thing that normal is.

And that's precisely the problem.

This is what your government is, America. This is what it's always been. If you don't like what you're seeing, don't just try to put a nicer mask on it so you can go back to sleep. Change it. Change your normal. Create a new normal.

Trump is everything America is. As one reader recently put it, "Trump didn't make things the way they are, he is the personification of the situation. If the United States was a suit, then it was tailor made for Trump."

Trump is normal. If you don't like your normal, America, then push for real change, not cosmetic change. It's not going to come from any president. It's going to have to come from you.
