While Republicans are running their "unity" scam in the media, Biden just rolled out new policies that would channel large amounts of resources into rural America -- into Trump country. I looked at how these policies constitute *actual* unifying efforts: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/22/hidden-feature-bidens-first-big-moves-major-outreach-trump-country/

Biden's Covid blueprint beefs up protections for workers, many in meatpacking plants in rural areas.

His use of Defense Production Act will employ industrial policy to channel resources to non-metro areas in a way conservative populists want.

Unifying!

Trump used coronavirus to relentlessly stoke civil and regional conflict.

Biden is offering a national Covid strategy that channels resources into helping all Americans, including or especially in rural areas, i.e., Trump country.

Unifying!

The pandemic has exposed deep public health inequities across the urban-rural divide.

The Biden plan seeks to address these inequities on vaccines, medical supplies, health infrastructure, and more.

Unifying!
