      This was always my concern about "back to normal" politics -- that it was good way to win an election but not a program that can actually work. It was a seed that was destined to grow into dissatisfaction.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1469326434955055112 …

      I think the basics here are incredibly straightforward: the big thrust of the Biden campaign was "back to normal" and things...aren't back to normal! https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1469324181896585218 …

      It was something I raised last year -- "back to normal" can get votes & win elections but is it a durable politics?pic.twitter.com/VaUlhhO4wP

          How many people are on track to die this year compared to last? How many people were just kicked off unemployment? When do student debt payments start up, and when we’re they paused? Y’all really be conceding easy ground to republicans, and then gaslighting over it

          The secret to durable politics is changing things and convincing people that the new is normal.

          it would have been durable politics if the actual solution was a return to normalcy, but it wasn't. wishfully thinking that covid would just go away while doing the absolute barest minimum to contain it was poor leadership, and is seen as such.

          No - ppl want covid (and subsequent consequences like inflation) to end without any effort on their part and with total amnesia that it ever occurred
