Normalized or not, a majority of the voters picked him and the other half are upset.

Trump or any of his henchmen won't be restricted by being "not normalized"

Relentlessly criticize and defang maga to the point where we can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub before the next election.

Being a MAGAt to me is treasonous. They are literary ruining the country, the world, and the mother nature.
