BIDEN WILL ENTER OFFICE facing four major areas of concern: the pandemic, the crashed economy, the two of which are related, climate change, and racism in America. On all four fronts the Trump and Republican attitude and approach has been and remains delusional and ineffective, while Biden's approach and the liberal Democratic position on all four issues is realistic, serious, and hopeful. Conservative Republicans almost uniformly deny the reality of human made climate change, downplay the pandemic, pretend that racism does not exist unless liberals mention it, and insist that the economy under Trump as great, and would still be great were it not for the virus. they overlook the fact that Trump's failure to lead in controlling the virus was his undoing. Vigorous action will be required on all four fronts, particularly climate change, because it may already be too late to save the environment from future greenhouse destruction like we see on the planet Venus; a project the intensity of the Manhattan project in world War Two will be only the beginning of our attempt to save ourselves. Biden and many other people are now talking about uniting the country, and so forth. meanwhile, trump and many of his supporters are still crying foul, claiming that the election was stolen, even though it was a completely fair and transparent result. it is difficult to unit and find common ground with such delusional people. It is they who must change, and allow national unification by becoming reasonable, which they have not done throughout the Trump administration.. First, Trump supporters, conservatives, Republicans, Christian evangelical Trump supporters, will have to force themselves to behave with magnanimity for once, and to congratulate and accept Joe Biden as the next president. For people of demonstrated low moral character, this in itself will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Next, the Trump gang will have to accept the reality and truth of the Democratic position on all four of these dire concerns, again, a task which will prove difficult if not impossible for such delusional people. Problems cannot be solved by refusing to admit that they exist. The best guess is that the country will not unite, because it is not yet ready to unite. It will not unite because conservative America continues to dwell in an imaginary world without climate change, racism, a pandemic, or a collapsed economy caused by Trump's negligence.Just as they did to Obama, conservative America will probably do nothing except try to destroy Biden, and thus the tragedy of their continuing existence in America politics will continue to be impactful.
