Column: Biden says America is 'coming back.' Trump says we're 'in hell.' Are they talking about the same nation?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

To one presidential candidate, the United States is “a failing nation” that's “descending into a cesspool of ruin.” “In many ways, we’re living in hell right now.”

To the other candidate, “America is coming back. … Our future is brighter.” “The American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told.”

You already know which candidate is which.

The first is former President Trump, who painted a vivid picture of an America sliding into chaos for the Conservative Political Action Conference last month. The second is President Biden, extolling the nation's resilience in his State of the Union address last week.

Trump's in hell right now so he figures everyone else must be.

2. I would think that if you are waiting for 91 indictments

You are in hell.

And trumps view of the world is that it's only him that matters. So yeah.

OK, I have to take a few detours due to infrastructure work.

4. Many 'strongmen,' demagogues, dictators/authoritarians

exaggerate problems so they can be deemed as the savior, rescuer. All in order to gain power. The age old, familiar strategy applied by dangerous personalities especially in times of instability and crisis, perceived or real.

The people who fall for these authority figures often rely on emotion rather than logic. Beware.
