President Joe Biden ran on a pledge to unite the country, vowing to dedicate his “whole soul” to that worthy mission in his inaugural address. Nearly two years later, he’s publicly labeled roughly one third of the country “semi-fascists” — not full fascist, mind you — after all, Biden also promised to compromise.

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist has painted his opponent Ron DeSantis as the exemplar of cultural-war divisiveness, but it was Crist who told the millions of Floridians who support DeSantis that he doesn’t want their votes because they have “hate in [their] hearts.”
