It's clear the Democratic Party and whomever wrote Biden's speech after the 30 min mark (not sure if that was on-script or Biden winging it..) is out of touch. I think you need to pay closer attention to Texas and what's happening there.
I think Biden blew his one chance to unify America and my fear is it will cost him the election. I believe foreign countries will involve themselves in our elections behind the scenes and the propaganda will say "remember the SCOTUS speech? Biden considers you the enemy, so you better vote against him."
If he wins, it will be by Republicans who decide not to vote or take sides.

Gold Star dad arrested after heckling Biden during State of the Union
The heckler who shouted at President Biden during his State of the Union address Thursday night was identified as the father of a fallen Marine — and later arrested over the disruption.
“America’s safer today than when I took office,” Biden, 81, was in the middle of saying before he was interrupted from the chamber’s balcony.
“Abbey Gate!” Steve Nikoui yelled down at the president. “Second Battalion, First Marines!”
Capitol Police escorted Nikoui, 51, out of the chamber at around 10:15 p.m. and took him into custody.
He was charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding Congress, a misdemeanor that typically results in the offender’s release after paying a $50 fine.
Nikoui’s son, Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, was killed by a suicide bomber outside Kabul’s international airport while trying to process evacuees from the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021.
Twelve other US service members were also killed in the blast.
Two other Gold Star fathers told The Post in an interview before Biden’s speech that the president should expect harsh words over the catastrophe.
“There’s been other people that have confirmed that information that Biden knew — damn good and well — that Afghanistan was going to fall,” said Mark Schmitz, the father of Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, calling the withdrawal “a totally epic screw-up.”
“I suspect tonight, there’s gonna be a lot of heckling,” he added.

Kinda amazing Gen Z is approaching mid 50s and they've never had a president yet.

Your spin isn’t going to work. You’re probably feeling a little wounded this morning after Biden showed you for the fool you are.
Nah.
I wasn't impressed. He fired up his base, for sure.
But, did he convince the undecided? Probably not.
He threatened the Supreme Court. He took zero responsibility for the border crisis he caused. He was angry and divisive. Instead of an "I feel your pain" speech, he cast blame and didn't acknowledge that the American people are not thriving under his administration.
He ran the first time on bringing civility and decorum back to the WH. He said he was a uniter.
He has done none of that. And, last night he doubled down on hate. He was neither civil nor uniting. The US and the world are in a worse place than when he took office.
Voters who want unity were not impressed.
The good thing is that the Democrats will be less likely to want to replace him at the convention after last night.
That is good for Trump.
The only hate I saw last night was from MTG.
And I don't see anyone in the GOP attempting to unite anyone. Unless you count uniting women against anti-choice ballot initiatives.

Unify America? Are you delusional? It's the Republicans who will fight unity every step of the way. Did you totally miss the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene showed up wearing a red MAGA hat against house rules and a t-shirt and big pins emblazoned with things the right has made their war cry, and that she yet again bellowed and hollered trying to interrupt his speech in a total lack of decorum? The right wing has ZERO interest in unity, yet here you're disingenuously claiming it was "an opportunity." Also, get real - foreign countries ALREADY ARE involved in our elections and ALREADY ARE propagandizing all over American social media and message boards. Open your eyes. You seem naive.

It’s really a big change.
It's not. If you get the apps, they have plenty of offers. Just got 4 breakfast sandwiches for 7 bucks. Also, if you are unhappy with prices, maybe check out the record profits all companies are touting and figure it out from there.
