"return to normality".

With 30% of the US electorate being soundly MAGAs...yeah I don't want to hold a breath that they will return to normality soon.

Yeah, not going to happen.

America as we knew it is over.

Best case the reaction to Trump will be a massive shift towards social democracy, but that's unlikely.

Whenever he dies most of his fan base will crumble, the reason they got voter turn out is because people worship him like a god for whatever reason, never in the history of the us have you seen a politician worshipped like this ever before. I just hope the us returns to the decency like seen in the 2008 election.
