[NYPOST] After months under lockdown, scared for our lives, Americans are tired. We were united in our outrage over the death of Floyd. But it’s downright scary to watch liberal elected officials respond to the very real problem of police brutality by giving license to lawlessness and acquiescing to Âbizarre Âdemands like "defund the police." Police officers are being shot at regularly, and it barely makes the news. We’ve Âdecided to punish every officer in the country for the actions of a handful in Minneapolis.Like much else over the last few months, it makes no sense.
We are aching for normal, whatever that means anymore. I suppose the 2020 election will come down to which candidate will Ârestore a sense of normality. Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island ...
’s entire candidacy has been premised on "making America 2015 again," as the satirist Marty Beckerman has put it. But can a Biden Âbeholden to an ever-more-bonkers left deliver normality?
President Trump’s official slogan is "Keep America Great." Yet his unofficial one, seen on signs in some states, is: "Trump 2020: No More Bulls - - t."
We know what Biden means by normality: no late-night presidential tweet threats or fights picked with members of the media or his own party. But we also intrinsically understand what the Trump campaign might mean with its call to resist bulls - - t. The Seattle comrades forming an "autonomous" zone, and the Minneapolis ones calling for disbanding the police, fit the bill perfectly.
We shall see which idea of normal will win come November.
