Make America Normal Again

In Democrats’ desperation to stave off the demands of Trump voters, they have destroyed our institutions and melted the framework of behavioral norms upon which our society was constructed.

Former President Donald Trump recently sat down for an interview with Theo Von, a comedian who hosts the “This Past Weekend” podcast, among other ventures. Von is well known for his Louisiana charm, his deadpan, almost unintentional humor, and his meandering conversational style, which leads to a sometimes funny/sometimes deep dichotomy popular among younger listeners. But beneath the humor and zigzagging conversation is an earnestness that can’t be faked, making Trump a natural guest for such a show.

When Trump first rose to political prominence during the lead-up to the 2016 election, the prevailing narrative was that he was an outlandish firebrand, a performance artist playing a role on television who was only in the race for his own benefit. But with each new interview and debate, his authenticity proved those assumptions wrong and drew voters to him in droves. His victory over the narrative machine cemented him as a true American hero, a man who’d had enough of parasitic politics and was willing to risk everything he had to save his country.

Nearly a decade later, with our social fabric torn to shreds by the left’s perpetual cultural revolution, Trump has become a grandfatherly figure of stability and nostalgia for many, embodying the hope of millions who just wish we could go back to a simpler time when America made sense. Trump’s resolute demeanor in the wake of the assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, just over a month ago has only made this genuine appeal of his even stronger.

Von’s podcast isn’t the only high-profile conversation Trump has recently had. He also sat for a lengthy two-hour conversation with Elon Musk on X. Trump has continually proved to listeners of these conversations that, despite the lavishness of his unique life, he is still just a citizen who is sick of seeing his fellow Americans trod upon by the Regime and its liberal supporters. His goal has always been simple: to protect the interests of the forgotten men and women of this country and to save them from the depraved death cult of leftism. In this simple way, he embodies the spirit of the founders more than any other leader in recent memory. Or, in his own words: “I just want to stop the world from killing itself!”

But this Regime is simply too proud to admit any wrongdoing. They refuse to allow anyone else the chance to turn back their bioleninist revolution. In their desperate haste to stave off the demands of the voters they despise, represented by Trump, they have destroyed our institutions and melted the framework of behavioral norms upon which our society was so carefully constructed. They’ve burned it all in their lust for power, the consequences of which we are seeing play out in a rapid behavioral spiral descending into chaos, stagnation, hopelessness, depravity, and cruelty.

It would take thousands of pages to recount the numerous ways in which the left has destroyed any semblance of normalcy in our culture. But the conclusion is that this long process of degradation has led to a potent strain of nihilism and degeneracy in our culture, where the traditional view of individual rights has been subverted beyond recognition into a perversion of what it means to be “normal.” Things we all considered normal 10 years ago, such as having a family or going to church, are suddenly reviled as “extreme” or “weird.” Time Magazine even wrote that flying the American flag was a “threat.” In fact, calling normal things and normal people “weird” seems to be the only argument the Harris campaign cares to make for why people should vote for her.
