It made sense after the insanity of Jan. 6 for Biden to try to take down the temperature. After all, part of his narrow Electoral College victory (and it was narrow-we should not fool ourselves into thinking otherwise) was reasonably thought to be due to Biden's appeal as a "normal" President. But it's clear in retrospect how wrong that view was.

Hopefully we have learned the lesson you suggest: only power politics works.

The fundamental problem for dems in power politics is that because of the senate and the court they are the weaker party.
