History tells us "normal" is constantly being redefined.  Meanwhile, life goes on.  

Nothing has changed much since the major change in March, so based on  5 months of pandemic, riots, extreme weather, elections, new processes and a recession, I'd say we're living in normal for now.  I believe that if you cling to how it used to be and don't live in the how it is now, while striving for a better tomorrow, you'll be in a perpetual depression or frozen in waiting. Live in the now normal while working for a better future. The pandemic doesn't follow a schedule.

Normal is passe. The election will help stage the future or begin its destruction.

The 💩 show between the parties will undoubtedly continue. 

We are in the new normal.  We will never return to the way it was.   I dont think this is a time for gloom and doom.  Not at all,  But we need to be proactive and anticipate how we can best serve our family, our friends, our clients.  

Life has always been normal for me because I don't have an IV to the mainstream media and I can critically think, plus I am blessed to live in an area where not as many of us are livestock as some would think.

Are politicians using the pandemic to their own benefit? That is almost an innocently redundant question. If it bleeds it leads, and never let a good crisis go to waste?

There are some who are not . . . they are doing their job for their people and not THEIR CAREERS on the gravy train.

I set a strong intent that those people are all out of jobs as those who voted for them to SERVE open eyes to the SELF SERVING and hypocrisy. 

This is why you must always vote for your MAYORS and County Supervisors . . . they matter. 

My vote is NO!

Until we have the media report all the news instead of what they want us to see it will remain the same!

With Trump being re-Elected , there will be paid for unrest until Thanksgiving

You'd have to define "normal" before I could answer this question.

I've got some money to say it does.  Want to make a bet?

No idea. 

I wish. 

We hope...

    No.

    Yes.

Nope. No matter who wins, the otherside will be "sqealin' like a stuck pig."

I tend not to make predictions, as who knows what will happen in the future?

Do I think things will begin getting back to normal after the election?

No!

I don't think that we even know what "normal" is any more.

Doubtful.

DJT wins. More of the same.
DJT loses. Free for all 'till January 20th.
Biden wins. (slightly different than DJT loses).  Gridlock for the next four years, less'n Dems take Senate and House. (highly unlikely).

The real losers in all of this?  Us.

Yes, they will return to NORMAL.

But NOT the normal we remember.

The new normal equals  ALL whites are racist and privileged and will be compelled to give it all back.  You can see it coming. The humorous part is the content of character will not be applied.
Long after the election and covid, the tribal drums will still be beating.
But here in my piece of Fl paradise normal is staying in 1976.
The only defense if to Turn It Off!!
Then the manipulation is harder for 'them' the acheive.

I agree with Michael Jacobs .  Every moment "normal" is new.  We just keep on moment by moment.  

What is "normal" anymore? 

I do hope the election fixes things and I'm sick of stupidity and meanness in our country.

But, I think things will start to get back to normal after a vaccine is developed and rolled out - maybe March of next year. It may start in January or so, but pretty sure, it will take at least until the middle of next year to take care of most people.

No. There will be new normal for some time to come.

What I am seeing is who politicians/leaders (?) really are and are not and what they will do for fame, money and power everyone else be damned literally. This country was never intended for abuse. Let Trump loose to make the necessary changes for the country. A guy who donates his salary, works tirelessly and cares about the other fellow is what we need to restore greatness and weed out the less than honorable people who have gripped the nation in turmoil....

Maybe, since the election is not going to change too much since we need to listen to our scientists.

What is normal? I've heard the term " New Normal" used for years. Things are always changing. I think many people and businesses took advantage of the pandemic.

Things will never be back to "normal" because there is no such thing. You have to decide how you want to live life and go for it.

ABSO-LUTELY!

So many people have died, none for political gain, I am sure that their surviving family are happy to see people claiming that their death was all part of some election scheme.

I think after the election the political partisanship will continue as is or get worse. It seems to be the new normal.

Which "normal"?

Define "normal". I think after the election we (as a country) will either evolve or devolve, depending on the outcome of the election. It is heartbreaking to see all the hatred that we have endured...the pandemic is bad enough without pouring gasoline on a fire.

It has all been political. If it was not an election year, things would be different. Things will change November 4th, but lets hope Fredom wins over Socialism.
