    “Norm restoration” has to be the most boring, banal campaign theme in history but you can thank the norm-obsessed elite media for inculcating this nonsensehttps://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1138509982243143691 …

    Joe Biden defends his pledge to restore norms: "Folks, I'm not naive. You know, some say that this is an old-fashioned way of doing things," he says. "Look, I don’t think it’s naive, I don’t think it’s old-fashioned—way of doing things that says the system has to be restored."

        Norm restoration is a call for unquestionable conformity. Definitionally. It demands one never contemplate why enough people questioned those norms to make norm destruction possible. It is about as illiberal a notion as one can articulate.

        Correct, and it only prevails if the norm-busting force has so exhausted and frightened the populace that they lunge at any alternative that reminds them of bygone stability. Revolutions require results.

        "Norm restoration" is a president who won't lend his voice to those questioning the media elites

        Trump trolls the media reporters with secret "Letter in my pocket" - this is friggin' hilarious if you haven't seen it - from his "press conference" today. Trump is like, "I've got a secret, and you don't know what it is, hahaha!" 😂https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Twi-MCeHvo …

        Let's get back to not giving a shit about anything!!! As long as the people at the top are good, why sweat it. They'll treat those other ones okay! Let's not do anything.

        Norm restoration sounds somewhat medical. And from there it trends to digestive processes.
