1. Trump won on racist nostalgia ("Make America Great Again") & dissatisfaction with the status quo. His problem is in running for re-election is that he's the now the status quo & his disastrous response to pandemic makes many nostalgic for the older order he disrupted.

"return to normalcy" == going back to not saying the quiet parts out loud. Quietly deport, drone bomb, and transfer wealth from the poor to the rich. We have so much work to do.

I'm not going to suggest anyone will 'miss' Trump, but I think there might be a moment where the ruling political class will realize that having such a loud scapegoat for the nation's collapse might have been more handy than it appeared.

Once Trump leaves, the illusion that all could be well once again will vaporize, and what we'll be left with is a doddering puppet king that you CAN'T single handedly blame for the end of the American Empire.

This is a fine, acute esssy. But Biden and Deems have to eliminate as many impediments from our sclerotic governing structure as possible, too. Otherwise, he and his colleagues will be unable to fully use the federal government as the powerful tool of large reform it must be.
