Joe Biden, the Divider in Chief, (unknowingly) kicks off the campaigns of the GOP and President Trump

It has been almost a year since Joe Biden has occupied the White House and almost every campaign promise he made has melted into thin air.
Among those promises was a pledge to restore decency and to unite the country. He conveniently ignored the fact that his party is the reason for the divide and hate. But truth or facts are never an impediment for Democrats while peddling false narratives.
“We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature. For without unity there is no peace, only bitterness, and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos. This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward,” Biden said in his January 20, 2021, inaugural speech.
This was the easiest of promises to accomplish, for all he had to ensure was that members of his administration were respectful, empathetic, and conciliatory, especially to political opponents.
An occasion to ‘lower the temperature' would have been the first anniversary of January 6th.
Biden and Harris should have acknowledged that the events of January 6, 2021, were unfortunate and should never occur again. They should have highlighted the importance of being able to respectfully disagree without being viciously disagreeable. They should have reminded people of what binds the country together.
