  • The scariest part of Trump's first year as president isn't how abnormal he is, it's how normal he makes everything else look by comparison.

    “Don’t normalize this” has become a kind of rallying cry during President Trump’s first year in office -- a reminder to not get too acclimated to Trump’s norm-breaking and erratic behavior.
    But the real danger of the Trump presidency might have less to do with Trump’s abnormality and more to do with how “normal” he makes other Republicans look by comparison. And the concept of the “Overton Window” helps explain why our politics and media might be warped long after Trump’s presidency comes to an end.

    USA need more parties. This two party system is horrible to the democracy.

    This is why Bernie Sanders calling himself a Socialist is the best thing to happen to politics. The popularity of M4A happened because he first shocked everyone with that S label.

    Guys can we stop having these "leftie" vs "rightie" arguments. Like construct a real point instead of saying 'leftie logic'

    Coming back to this video 5 years later is scary. The whole Republican Party shifted even further right along with him

    Meanwhile over here in Europe where we haven't been as desensitize, all this looks like a kindergarten play. And no I am not exaggerating. That's how this looks like.
