The belief that America could return to normalcy following Trump's presidency has been proven false. The Biden Administration's attempt to restore the economy post-Covid and regain global standing was ultimately unsuccessful, as reflected in the 2022 mid-terms where voters rejected this vision. Restoration is not desired by the majority, especially by supporters of Trump, while many Democrats sought deeper change. Furthermore, institutions essential for recovery have been damaged, resulting in challenges to foreign relations and public health, contributing to significant harm domestically and globally.
The Democratic Party dream of restoring normalcy is dead. Whatever Trump voters want, it isn't restoration. Non-voters wouldn't go to the polls to vote for restoration or to vote against Trumpian chaos.
Trump has wrecked the institutions and norms we need for restoration. He has gutted agencies devoted to accumulation of soft power around the world. In the process he is potentially responsible for millions of premature deaths.
