3. I don't hold out much hope of that. Not a knock on Biden.

He is a decent guy and tries to unite people.

The problem is bigger than Biden. President Obama was actually much better than Biden at using diplomacy. The problem is that President Obama was black.

The problem is that there is a concerted media ecosystem that exists to promote right wing propaganda.

We have always had political division in this country, but people would fight around the edges of shared information. Since the advent of Right wing radio and Fox, information is not even shared any more. Right wingers are fighting from a false, alternate reality. The majority of people have similar information but right wingers are very loud and support the wealthiest people so they have over sized influence on media discussion.

Until we deal with right wing media, there will not be temperance.
