What is "Normal"? And Can Joe Biden Restore It?

The Supreme Court this week ruled that Donald Trump is not immune from criminal investigations and Congressional oversight and he went ballistic on Twitter. And the country gave out a collective yawn. After all, we're the epicenter of death in a global pandemic, unemployment is at Great Depression levels, the racism baked into our nation's civic infrastructure has reached a boiling point, and we have a president who does nothing but make it all worse because all he cares about is getting re-elected (so he can continue to not do anything that benefits the American people).Three and one-half years ago, when Donald Trump came in to office and began assaulting our people and institutions, we would collectively moan, "This is not normal." But now - we are so far from "normal," who knows what it means any longer?Joe Biden gave a speech yesterday on the economy. He doesn't have the soaring rhetoric of Barack Obama - but his recognition of the suffering of Americans who are just trying to get through another day was... soothing. And was a reminder of what it felt to have a leader who is "normal." MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about the week's political news from a progressive point of view - part of the DemCast family of podcasts.Follow us on [email protected]@[email protected]
