So in the last episode of "The Boys," Homelander (a Trump allegory) dies and so everything goes back to normal. This might be a reflection of how liberals think everything will go back to normal once Trump leaves office, even though Trump is just a symptom of the underlying illness of neoliberal capitalism.

(I myself did not watch "The Boys".)

I mean, 'normal' is subjective. If your normal is being privileged and white while 'brown' people are exploited and die then things are just as normal now as before Trump got in office, but when he's no longer there then you don't actually have to see and come to terms with that reality.

Liberalism is the privilege to close your eyes to the hell you wrought.

Liberalism is the belief that you will never be the one in the vertical video
