And that's all either Biden or Harris needs to campaign on. Bringing America together is the winning ticket. The more, or less, said about it in this fourth turn the better.
I suspect you are right. The problem is an awful lot of people want to stick with the unraveling mindset, and Trump has sort of encouraged it. For the individual, hooray! Forget the common good, huzzah! As a result, it seems a little early for the counting chickens phase.
As unsettled as things are, handing out the political equivalent of Ritalin has to be popular. I'm not sure popular is enough, though. We still live in tribal times, and the tribes are restless.
I caught a bit of an MSNBC segment, where the reporter was in the midwest and concentrating on the pro Tump crowd. As she was presenting it, many were still getting their news entirely from the Fox bubble. She listed several of the latest new items, including the Woodward book Rage, and in general people had never heard of them. News came from folks who said what they wanted to hear. It was allegedly possible to remain ignorant of what they other guys presented. That was all hoax and fake news anyway. All that was important was who was president of Earth Two.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
