That core error leads both parties to give Trump a free pass on stuff that would get pushback from a normal president.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1134264701616099329 …

9. Although this nostalgia politics is very strong in elite, its not confined to elite. Popularity of Biden is from the fact there is a mass politics for people who just want (understandably!) a return to normal. A president who is human, a politics not in crisis mode.

Are you just ignoring that it's entirely possible he was the predictable end-product of 40 years of anti-education and pro-fundamentalist religion being mainstreamed in the GOP?

Both are wrong. He is a symptom of a much deeper problem.
