‘AMERICA will heal’. ‘The Reunited States of America’. ‘The world’s greatest nation can come together again as a beacon of democracy’. ‘Joe Biden will fix the United States’. This is what the commentators tell us – these are the claims of the pundits and politicians. They’re delusional. The idea that Biden can ‘fix’ America is absurd. How can you fix what’s always been broken? Let’s just imagine – for the sake of thought experiment – that Biden can somehow ‘fix’ America, that the new president has some miraculous toolbox that can undo centuries of wrong. If we accept the proposition that Biden can indeed ‘fix’ America, then we need to ask the question: what’s the present state of this nation which needs fixed? Just how badly is it broken?
