It criticizes Biden\u2064 for failing to deliver the \u2062promised return to &#8216;normalcy&#8217; since taking office in 2020, highlighting issues such \u2064as chaos at the southern border and rising \u2064anti-Semitism on college campuses, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aaron-sorkin-is-the-real-villain-behind-the-senate-sex-scandal\/\" title=\"Aaron Sorkin: The True Culprit of Senate Sex Scandal\">corporate media downplays<\/a> these concerns. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-thanks-to-unity\/\" title=\"No thanks to unity\">author expresses skepticism<\/a> towards Kamala Harris\u2019s claims of being a change candidate, pointing out that she is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-have-a-rendezvous-with-destiny-mr-vice-president-on-january-6th-vice-president-pence-will-choose-the-direction-of-the-world-for-years-to-come-like-thomas-je\/\" title=\"\u201cYou Have a Rendezvous with Destiny, Mr. Vice President\u201d \u2013 On January 6th Vice President Pence Will Choose the Direction of the World for Years to Come \u2013 Like Thomas Jefferson Did Centuries Ago\">current vice president<\/a> and has not distanced herself effectively from the policies of the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative also portrays Trump\u200d as a unique candidate who, unlike traditional politicians, does not appeal\u200b to suburban norms but has a significant\u2063 following nonetheless. The \u2063author argues that while Trump&#8217;s unpredictability may be \u2063off-putting to some, it may also be\u200d effective in foreign diplomacy. The overarching concern among voters remains the economy, which\u200b has \u200dbeen negatively affected under Biden and Harris, with inflation \u2062significantly higher than in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>The summary touches upon Harris&#8217;s perceived alignment with university politics and her bureaucratic approach, contrasting it with Trump\u2019s more dramatic and unconventional\u200d style. It suggests that despite Harris&#8217;s attempts to position herself away from her administration, she cannot escape \u200dthe legacy of the \u200dcurrent political order, particularly \u2063regarding international issues. Ultimately, the text conveys\u2064 a sense\u2064 of disillusionment with the Democratic \u2064ticket\u2062 and questions the authenticity of their campaign promises for \u2063a return to \u200bnormalcy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In 2020, Joe Biden and the corporate media promised that electing him over Donald Trump would bring a return to normalcy. It was a nice campaign tactic, but Biden brought absolutely no normalcy to the White House. The southern border is in shambles. College students are cheering for terrorists and openly attacking their Jewish classmates. Woke nonsense is still infecting vast swaths of society. The corporate media may downplay those issues, but people tend to trust their own eyes instead of the lies being sold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But now Trump and Biden&rsquo;s running mate are on the ballot again, and the corrupt media and Kamala Harris herself are running with the exact same line: Trump is chaotic, but Harris will bring a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/opinion\/nabj-harris-journalists-presidential-interview-trump-contrast-20240917.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">return<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/QXuHT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/captimes.com\/opinion\/paul-fanlund\/opinion-my-last-attempt-at-framing-the-presidential-election\/article_b270d7fa-84f3-11ef-8a8b-23cb176ef245.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">normalcy<\/a>.&rdquo; Don&rsquo;t buy it &mdash; again.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Return&rdquo; is a curious word given that Harris is No. 2 in the current administration. Nonetheless, Kamala Harris, who received zero primary votes and is the current vice president, is attempting to cast herself as the change candidate. And to an extent, she has been able to effectively distance herself from her present job, even as President Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/biden-says-harris-handled-everything-from-foreign-policy-domestic-policy-under-his-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ties her to it<\/a> &mdash; except when she forgets to distance herself from it, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FreeBeacon\/status\/1843673246941724967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">telling the loons<\/a> on &ldquo;The View&rdquo; that there is nothing she would&rsquo;ve done differently had she been president the past four years. Which is interesting, given that even Kamala agrees we need <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/09\/27\/opinion\/kamala-harris-wants-to-move-on-from-kamala-harris-we-couldnt-agree-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to move on<\/a> from the policies of her current administration.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the election remains close, and I get it. Though I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s any need <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/12\/theres-no-need-to-denounce-trump-before-expressing-even-the-slightest-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to justify your vote<\/a> for President Trump to pull a Grover Cleveland, he is a unique candidate. He is not a polished media-created hero. Instead, he is a media-created villain. He speaks at length, sometimes rambling. He doesn&rsquo;t always stay on message. He definitely doesn&rsquo;t act like a normal politician. Given that he&rsquo;s got an &ldquo;R&rdquo; next to his name, that means the corporate press has ample fodder for the villain storyline, even if he&rsquo;s not a villain but a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2018\/11\/05\/pro-wrestling-explains-trump-wins-every-battle-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heel<\/a>. He doesn&rsquo;t conform himself to the behaviors of normie voters, that is people in the suburbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also get this, as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bjs.ojp.gov\/content\/pub\/pdf\/cusrancvs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">69 percent<\/a> of people who live in the suburbs. While there are exceptions, there aren&rsquo;t a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2018\/11\/05\/pro-wrestling-explains-trump-wins-every-battle-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faces and heels<\/a> in the suburbs doing battle with one another. The neighbor who votes for the Democrats exclusively will help the neighbor who only votes for Republicans. We&rsquo;re nice to one another. We&rsquo;re polite. We don&rsquo;t live on the internet. As such, Trump, ever the entertainer, doesn&rsquo;t always come across as someone you&rsquo;d enjoy a normal conversation with at the HOA meeting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris, though, seems like someone who would be way too into HOA policies, the type who causes HOAs to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2018\/05\/28\/lawn-and-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">justifiably bad reputations<\/a>. She&rsquo;s all about bureaucracy and rules just for the sake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D8TAAMTcKqY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bureaucracy and rules<\/a>. She theoretically does want to help you improve the value of your home, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/harris-proposes-25000-down-payment-assistance-first-time-homebuyers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increasing demand without increasing supply<\/a>, which should work great. Beyond that, though, she is not the candidate of suburbia, even if she is a familiar creature in our parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she is a candidate of the universities, of the crazies. She wants to do some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/kevin-oleary-slams-kamala-harris-policy-crazy-1942079\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">communism<\/a>. Her campaign claims she is now against electric vehicle mandates, but she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/harris-camp-declines-clarify-whether-kamalas-values-have-shifted-ev-mandates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cannot explain<\/a> what exactly made her change her mind. She was the tiebreaking vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which included such mandates. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/08\/16\/statement-from-vice-president-kamala-harris-on-the-inflation-reduction-act-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrated that vote in August<\/a> of this year, a month after Biden announced he was dropping out and during her honeymoon period with voters. Given the honeymoon is over and that she said there are zero changes she&rsquo;d make to the past four years, it&rsquo;s unlikely that her conversion is genuine and not politically expedient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>None of this even gets into one of the current administration&rsquo;s biggest weaknesses: the chaos on the geopolitical stage. There was the shameful Afghanistan withdrawal. Iran has been coddled. Don&rsquo;t forget about the Chinese spy balloons or the disastrous Gaza pier debacle or any of the 105 items on <a href=\"https:\/\/polaris-us.org\/updates\/the-top-105-foreign-policy-failures-of-the-biden-presidency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this list<\/a>. As President Biden has said, Harris was involved in all of the administration&rsquo;s decisions, so those are on her too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s administration, on the other hand, delivered peace. Whereas his unpredictability in front of a microphone may offend normie sensitivities, it makes oppositional leaders nervous. They may talk a big game, but they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-poll-gives-kamala-harris-a-painful-reality-check-as-her-campaign-gets-underway\/\" title=\"New Poll Gives Kamala Harris a Painful Reality Check as Her Campaign Gets Underway\">generally don&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cRLIHqlJXNs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">die like dogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Amid all of these issues, however, voters&rsquo; top concern remains the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2024\/09\/09\/issues-and-the-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">economy<\/a> once again. In 1992, James Carville famously told Bill Clinton&rsquo;s campaign team, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the economy, stupid.&rdquo; His point was that the economy, then in a recession, was the primary issue most voters were concerned with, and therefore it was the biggest opportunity for Clinton, the change candidate, to capitalize on. It proved a successful message.&nbsp;But back then, inflation was only 3 percent. In 2022, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris&rsquo; leadership, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/191077\/inflation-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Though the corporate media tout that inflation has &ldquo;cooled&rdquo; since then, one doesn&rsquo;t need charts or graphs or <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/21\/oops-biden-admin-admits-800000-jobs-it-took-credit-for-dont-exist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fake jobs reports<\/a> to understand that everything is more expensive. Restaurant trips are fewer than they were when Trump was in office. Store brand purchases at the grocery store are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/gregpetro\/2024\/03\/01\/big-retails-trending-brand-is-private-label-led-by-gen-z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">greater than ever<\/a>. Gas prices remain high. It&rsquo;s simply a fact that we were better off under Trump than we are now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was once a given that peace and prosperity were normal American virtues, that we&rsquo;d get along with our neighbors and family, and that neighborhoods and campuses wouldn&rsquo;t be prone to domestic strife. There was a time when, while we might fight over politics and politicians, those fights didn&rsquo;t consume our lives. For decades, the corporate press has sought to divide us, with its monomaniacal obsession hitting its nadir with the election of Donald Trump. Yet his administration didn&rsquo;t bring in fascism or any of the other -isms the media promised would occur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Covid aside, we got four fairly normal years of America, despite the partisan vitriol that has consumed too many of us. When Joe Biden promised to return normalcy to the country, what he really promised was to be a normal politician and continue exploiting that vitriol. Harris is promising to do the same, to say one thing and do another, to make promises she has no intention of keeping, and to keep us divided. <\/p>\n<p>Trump may be an abnormal politician, but when it comes to delivering actual normalcy, he&rsquo;s the better choice this November. And if you&rsquo;re a normie, that&rsquo;s what should matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Richard Cromwell is a writer and senior contributor at The Federalist.
