Of all the urgent tasks bearing down on the nation’s new president and there are many the quest to heal and unite a fractured American populace may be the most difficult. President Donald Trump may be gone, but the core of his unflinching base remains loyal; the country is arguably more polarized than it’s been since the Civil War and thus at its weakest.
President Joe Biden must now lead a nation in which public discourse has become as toxic and dangerous as the pandemic that surrounds it.
