The article in Time on December 3rd, 2020, "Can Biden Heal America?" mentions that presidential attacks on democratic institutions, science and the vulnerable, including immigrants and religious minorities, will stop. The White House will stop being the countrys biggest source of lies. America will no longer have a President who uses division as an instrument of power. Governance and foreign policy will not be made by tweets. But explosions of joy on the streets of cities like Philadelphia and Atlanta where citizens voted in extraordinary numbers were not shared in the vast American heartland. More than 70 million Americans voted for Trump, and followed him with an intensity that matched the antipathy felt by his critics. Those critics always struggled to understand how Trumps friends and relatives rationalize his belligerence, lies and bigotry. But Trump partisans also saw in his chaos a scourge of "elites", who they believe patronized them and their values.
最新一期的美國《时代》周刊题为《拜登能“治愈”美国吗》的文章提到,美国总统对民主机构、科学和弱势群体(包括移民和宗教少数群体)的攻击将停止。白宫将不再是美国最大的谎言来源。美国将不再拥有一个把分裂作为权力工具的总统,国家治理和外交政策也不会再靠推特来推行。但是,像费城和亚特兰大这样的城市街道上爆发的欢乐,是美国广大“心脏”地带的选民们无法分享的。超过7000万美国人投了特朗普的票,他们的忠诚度堪比批评者的反感度。批评者们难以理解,特朗普的亲友是如何将他的好战、欺骗和偏执合理化的。特朗普的铁杆粉丝们虽然在混乱中看到了“精英”们带来的祸害,但他们同时认为这些“精英”在保护他们及其价值观。
