Trump shot?

And there you have it. The timeline how long (or short) it is before the "normal" American forgets an in the open completely blown gov op. Now its all heels up harris, and Big Mike's endorsement. The country is honestly doomed.

Not necessarily, although it is disappointing to note how the media cycle controls public attention-span.

I think a shift in "normal" is mostly inevitable.  People (most notably on the internet) seem to be coming to appreciate how an important conversation about something does not end when the news shifts focus (for whatever reason, conspiratorial or not.)  That tendency was a function of the "programming" of the so-called 'boob tube."  Television practically defined public dialogue for generations... that is ending, in my opinion.

The country is different now than it was half a century ago... it was then different than it was a half-century before that... In that sense it can only be doomed if we only think of today.

Still... I get you.
