This idea that everyone can relax and go to sleep and stop paying attention once the Good Parents, Joe & Kamala, are in charge is creepy and authoritarian but is exactly what happened on 1/20/2009 when the anti-war, civil liberties & anti-corporatist movement vanished overnight.
This messaging, though, is at least honest, even if unintentionally. What Democrats need more than anything is that everyone goes to sleep when they’re in charge so that nobody realizes what they actually do and actually are.
Other than some tweets and unusual personality affects, there’s been nothing “abnormal” about the Trump presidency compared to what came before it, and no matter who wins, this “normalcy” will continue.

The toxicity of American normalcy is what elected Trump in the first place.
