For years, politicians and pundits have been warning against the dangers of normalizing Trump's behavior, but it seems that no one has been able to successfully de-normalize him - until now.
At Tuesday's debate, Kamala Harris showed everyone how it's done. In less than 2 hours, she was able to strip away the façade of normalcy that Trump has managed to maintain, despite his numerous scandals and controversies.
So, how did she do it? It all comes down to Harris's masterful use of language and her refusal to back down in the face of Trump's usual tactics.
Determining what is and isn't "normal" can be a tricky business, especially in the world of politics. But Harris's strategy was simple: she refused to give in to Trump's attempts to gaslight her and the audience, instead standing her ground and repeatedly calling out his lies and misdirection.
One of the key ways that Harris de-normalized Trump was by using clear, straightforward language to describe his actions. When Trump made his usual exaggerated claims and unfounded accusations, Harris was quick to shoot them down, using verifiable facts and evidence to contradict his assertions.
Another tactic that Harris used to great effect was her refusal to get drawn into Trump's usual game of insults and personal attacks. Instead, she stuck to the facts, calmly and methodically debunking Trump's claims and highlighting his own numerous shortcomings and failings.
It was a powerful display of confidence and capability, and it left Trump looking increasingly flustered and frustrated as the debate wore on. By refusing to back down or get drawn into his usual antics, Harris was able to de-normalize Trump in a way that few others have managed to do.
And the implications of Harris's strategy could be far-reaching. If she can continue to use this approach to great effect, it could potentially change the way that politicians and pundits approach Trump - and it could even help to shift the narrative around his presidency.
Of course, only time will tell if Harris's approach will have a lasting impact, but one thing is for sure: she has already changed the game in a big way. And if other politicians and pundits can learn from her example, it could be a major turning point in the way that we talk about and approach Trump.
