Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on Iheart Radio. On my monologue last episode,

I talked about how people crave normal and they want to know what to expect. A few people have called

the selection, the revenge of the normies, and I really have to

agree. People don't want to be yelled at for using a term that was okay last year, but no longer

is today. They don't want to have to use language they think is ridiculous. They don't want to be

judged for having very standard opinions by people who are really

fringe, but have it reinforced by others because everyone is afraid to fight back.

I can hear people saying, but Donald Trump is unpredictable.

And that's true, but not in the way the last few years have been extremely unpredictable. We really couldn't

be sure what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris believed. Biden ran as a moderate and then seemed not

controlled, but certainly guided by his more left-wing staff.

Kamala Harris was super-left in California, but then ran as a moderate, this time.

Last time, she ran as super-left.

Yes, politics is what it is, and Donald Trump was a Democrat for most of his life and all of that.

But there is a sense with Trump that you get what

you get and there is no pretense. People like to know what to expect. Yes, I'm going to tie the

political back to your own lives. If the election went the way you hoped, there really is no need

to poke your liberal friends and family in the eye with it. And if it didn't go the way you hoped, there really is no need to poke your liberal friends and family in the eye

with it. And if it didn't go the way you hoped, I'd suggest not going around talking about how

everyone who voted for Trump is a fascist. More than anything else, let the people around you know

that this is the behavior they can expect from you and you will expect from them.

Thanksgiving's coming soon.
