“Team Normal” is the latest example of a delusion that was ingrained deep within the Republican ruling class during the Trump era. It was filled with, as I categorized them in Why We Did It, “messiahs” and “junior messiahs” who told themselves they were one of the good ones, trying to nudge things in the right direction—from the inside. In this perverted mindset, the crazier things got, the more it proved that their nudging would be needed the next time things got out of hand. And so they soldiered on. Again and again and again.
But the story the messiahs are telling themselves ain’t the truth. They weren’t nudging Trump along with them, Trump was nudging them along with him. They were dupes being used to provide cover for the crazy anytime the Wall Street Journal came calling.
Bill Stepien wasn’t on “Team Normal.” He was on “Team Coup.” After the election he just decided to move back to the jump seats rather than keep riding shotgun, so as to protect his career.
If you need any more evidence this is the case, do you know what job Bill Stepien took, after the crazy he presided over had passed?
Stepien is now consulting for Harriet Hageman, the fellow confederate, who was a former Never Trumper but who is now primarying Liz Cheney for the crime of speaking truths that she, and Stepien both know.
In Stepien’s view the bad actor that needed to be punished wasn’t Rudy and the rest of Team Crazy. It was Liz Cheney, for holding his manhood cheap, and saying publicly everything he knew to be true in private. For being not only on Team Normal, but on Team Courage and Team Democracy.

Team Normal
You gals were Daddy's enthusiastic supporters. You failed your "What if fascism threatened America?" moment. It's something your sane and patriotic family members will never be able to understand.
I await your multiple replies about various Democrat idiocies, your denials, your whataboutisms and your false equivalencies. The Emperor was always naked and populist grievance is not a philosophy of governance.
You girls are morons.
Since you are waxing historic, lets be sure to study history.

Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
The fake coup narrative is all you have left to cling to. So sad.
Meltdown.
There was no call to arms or any of the rest of the bullshit
In a democracy Hillary is well within her rights to claim Trump cheated. Making up a false Russian collusion scam is probably not legal when 17 Intel agencies are involved
I’ve always said he’s a shitty human.
Democracy hung by a thread. Buffalo guy was going to become speaker of the house in mere minutes. Worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined.
“US Inflation Quickens to 9.1%, Amping Up Fed Pressure to Go Big”
BUT TRUMP!

Anytime you want to meet at the 711 and measure the morality of your positions I'll be happy to do so.
And turn in the Russian state narrative homework.
