Most annoying "normie" political takes ?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Voters attribute almost thaumaturgical powers over the economy to the incumbent President. This is like rule #1 of American presidential elections.

"Muh bipartisanship" used to be another one, but these days that's increasingly perceived as beltwaybrain and the normie position across the fruited plain is instead "anyone who disagrees with me on an issue I regard as high-salience is literally Jeffrey Dahmer".

Left wingers. like all classes of people, think that their views are normative and applicable to everyone.

Never mind that in um, say, the last British general election, it was a SECRET ballot, and that in the privacy of the voting booth there is NO pressure or fear of reprisal and the ordinary voters can cast their ballot as they think.

"Some people have normative political principles and sometimes those principles aren't winning ones at the polls" is a normal thing to notice, sure, and annoying because of what a pointless statement of the obvious it is.

well obviously they are not normative or they wouldn't poll so poorly once people are in the privacy of the booth, rather than talking publically to pollsters. This is true whether you are Millitant Tendency in 1983 or Jeremy Corbyn once he was no longer lucky enough to be facing Ms. May.

What do you think the word "normative" means, exactly? It's not a highfalutin way of saying "normal".
