Will he get anything done in office? probably not. But that's not what they need in America right now. They need a frikking break from all the chaos, divisiveness and lies. So many lies.
America needs to heal, and need someone stable that will just send everyone to their rooms to take a timeout, and hopefully usher and mentor in a leader that can carry the torch, and rebuild from the damage Trump did. I believe Biden is that guy, and I believe decades and even centuries down the road, should we still be here, Biden will be viewed as a guy that saved America from a very ugly era.
Normally I identify as more conservative, the Trump presidency changed it all for me, and has definitely moved me a lot farther to the left.
I have barely slept in 4 nights, and for the first time in almost a week, I am almost feeling hope. This video, and silly as it is, finally made me smile.
I finally have faith, that this will end well.

America needs the most boring 4 years of presidency in half a century just to simmer down, get away from politics, bury their heads in the sand a bit and just get back to being hard working citizens.
The reason people have been so riled up is because Trump is a #### disturber and stirs the pot every single day. And that's all people see on TV.
Hopefully COVID passes within a year and people can grow to be totally bored with politics again, while indulging in the highs of gathering and travelling again, and that may help mend bridges some between left and right neighbors over time because everything they were fighting about before will become less relevant/front of mind. Trump often made drama just to stir up his base and made everything feel like a war/battle was being waged between sides. Biden should be the polar opposite, and that's what they need.
Time for Sleepy Joe to give everybody a dose of cough syrup to chill out and get back in touch with their humanity and civility.
