Monday’s Electoral College vote officially sealed President Trump’s loss. Whatever he may say or do over the course of the next month, Trump will leave office as President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. At least for the next four years, it’s over. Trump’s chaos and camp, melodrama and mendacity will finally be shut off.
And millions of his voters will be desperate to get it back. The calm, normal politics Biden has promised is exactly what they do not want — not merely because of differences of partisanship or policy but because calm and normal no longer appeal.
