You are correct. When you say, “normalcy bias” it sounds so clinical. It’s tough for people in my generation to come to grips with how completely the country we grew up in has been destroyed. We still want to believe that the POTUS is the head of the government, no matter how obvious it is that he is incapable of even walking in a straight line. We still want to believe that Congress has, “the power of the purse”, even though they haven’t passed a budget in 20 years, and will never do so again. We can’t come to grips with how the schools, law enforcement, and the military all propagate values that are diametrically opposed to the ones we grew up with. And yes, we can’t fathom how many of our “fellow citizens” are dedicated to our annihilation.
