We cannot "return to normal."
"Normal" is how we got here.
"Normal" is what is killing us.

Everyone needs to watch Jimmy Carter's Crisis in Confidence Speech.
He told America the worship of wealth and power would destroy it and lead us to a point of "crisis and immobility."
He was right. Donald Trump is the embodiment of crisis and immobility.

He was right. Donald Trump is the embodiment of crisis and immobility.
Ronald Reagan and the Republicans took advantage of Carter's meaningful warning. They rallied around the flag, weaponized meaningless patriotic rhetoric and flag waiving.
They told Americans there was nothing wrong with the country or themselves.
They were wrong. We're sick.

America could have never elected Donald Trump president if it wasn't sick.
America could have never become the most powerful and wealthiest country in the world and left its people vulnerable and its doctors and healthcare worker unprepared if it wasn't sick.
We must wake up.

"Crisis and immobility."
That's what Carter predicted if America didn't reject the dangerous pursuit of profit and wealth over basic human dignity.
Crisis and immobility.
Donald Trump is the living embodiment of both crisis and immobility.
We. Are. Sick.

Remember what "normal" is while Donald Trump brags about his ratings.
Remember what "normal" is as Donald Trump brags about his failures and Americans are dying agonizing, lonely deaths, terrified in overcrowded hospitals, watched over by exhausted healthcare providers.

We cannot "go back to normal."
Normal is killing us.
Normal is sick.
We need to find something better, something genuine, something humane and real.
