@POTUS
United States government official
I have never been more optimistic about the future of America. We have stared into an abyss of insurrection and autocracy of pandemic and pain and We the People did not flinch. We came together as one America. With light and hope, we summoned new strength and new resolve.

(11,571 posts)But it's important that the President lead the way. I hate to minimize his efforts by calling them "cheerleading," but that's what's at the heart of it.
People have had 4 years of perceived gloom and doom, and a large, LARGE number of them - even some Republicans - want some clear skies and sunshine now. There is nothing wrong with it, IMO.

(28,811 posts)i still believe it could be and with President Biden maybe it will, but as long as propaganda gets the same treatment from the media as actual facts here we are.
we need a Propaganda Commission or something. We need to distinguish between free speech and free propaganda. We need to deprogram millions from their cult and their beliefs in LIES.
we are not on the other side of this consequential moment in history yet.

(111,354 posts)About 30% of us stood with arms crossed and lower lips poked out, growling "nobody gonna tell me to wear a damn mask!"
Covid wasn't that efficient a killer, so all those maskholes and other scofflaws are still with us and they don't want any part of "we, the people." They're better than that, you see. I don't know what we can do about them, there are too many to shun.
