There is no "return to normalcy" - even when we defeat trump he's going to be on news 24/7
His maga idiots will still be there
The white power morons will still be there

But the big issue is climate change: it does not let up. There is no business as usual all things normal unless we do not want to survive as a species.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I do too. redstatebluegirl Apr 2019 #1
