Because people have a short attention span and republicans have moved so far right that mundane things like affordable healthcare/college, providing aid to old or disabled people, providing nutritious and affordable food, ensuring that working people of all social strata can lead dignified lives, responding with empathy and evidence backed treatments to drug addiction, etc are responded to with unhinged screeds about socialism communism and fascism and groomers. So Biden needs to respond, rationally, to the propaganda that’s endemic among conservatives which results in cynically timed actions as a part of the effort to lead a nation tearing itself apart. Don’t like it? Stop voting for self interested obstructionists like McConnell, DeSantis, Sinema, manchin, mtg, etc. and don’t fan the fire with conservative dog whistles calling Biden inept when republicans have shown themselves to be shockingly tolerant of their members that routinely and flagrantly act against their stated principles while leaving the consequences of their incompetence for a democrat to clean up.
