Biden 2020, for a return to normal. We can't say exactly what "normal" is; it will still definitely involve military expansionism, mass murder, ecocide, omnicidal cold war escalations, crushing austerity and economic, social and racial injustice. But by golly, it'll feel normal.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. Nothing will fundamentally change, but the media will stop screaming in your face all the time about how freakishly abnormal this particular presidency is.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. No, not a return to sanity, peace, prosperity, democracy and equanimity in America; America never had those things, so there's no returning to them. We just mean we'll return to making it easier for you not to think about that.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. To when you were able to sleep comfortably through the violence, insanity and depraved psychopathy of the status quo instead of having it unpleasantly drawn to your attention by rude tweets.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. A return to the days where a competent president makes important decisions in accordance with the will of the electorate. That's right, a return to a fictional fantasy land where you can live in your imagination.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. A return to the days when you could happily pretend that freakish, murderous madness spanning the entire planet is normal.
Donald Trump IS normal. Minus all the narrative and verbiage, his has been a fairly conventional administration. To be clear, that's not a good thing: it means oppression, ecocide, and mass murder. He just puts an ugly face on those things, and the media yell about its ugliness.
Biden or Trump 2020, for a return to normal. Because "normal" never bloody left.
Trump. Is. Normal.
This is what your government is, America. This is what it's always been. If you don't like what you're seeing, don't put a nicer mask on it so you can go back to sleep. Change it. Change your normal. Create a new normal.
