Why Biden and Trump?
I mean, I'd understand Obama and Trump, but Biden?
How can someone so bland polarize a country?
- brookst 2y agoBiden isn’t polarizing for who he is, but because he is seen as an usurper sitting in the rightful King’s throne.
- skhunted 2y agoThere is nothing polarizing about Obama. Republican strategy has been to go to the right of whatever policy a Democratic President champions. For instance, Obama enacted the Republican plan for healthcare reform without their support. They labeled it socialist even though it is essentially the Heritage Foundation’s plan. The polarization is not personality based. It comes from tribal thinking along political lines. Whomever is on the opposite side is “bad” regardless of their personal failings or achievements. Trump is, objectively speaking, a terrible human being and is a truly polarizing figure.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoI don't think Biden is a polarizing figure in himnself. He ran and won on being not-Trump. But because Trump is a polarizing figure, not-Trump is too - just by being not-Trump, not due to any inherent polarizing-ness.
