And he deserved it.

All those screen hours of trump sitting in court on what was essentially a rape trial, his "unversity" charged with fraud, election interference in Georgia, Jan 6th trials, etc., just didn't persuade voters like we hoped.

I don't think trump was "normalized." I think voters preferred his Nazi populism.
