The race may be over, but the political norm the current President will likely shred is former Presidents retreating into a quiet, private life.

Difference + effect between lame-duck Trump + private citizen Trump will be negligible. His address will change but not the impact.
Like polling failed to accurately quantify, we also lack the capacity to predict what effect on our political system when the President almost certainly will shred this remaining norm; leaving office with the largest microphone 🎙 in the world + 73M people who voted for him.
Said it before the election, and say it again, underestimate him at our peril.

I spent the last 3 days touring 🟥 PA and it’s *extraordinary*.

It’s a fact: we’ve *never* had a former President use their platform to sow chaos+grievance. Social media is new to this dynamic.
