Decency Has Returned

Decency has returned, and it feels like a huge relief. Mr. Biden will not demonize red states, Republicans in Congress, cities run by Republicans, immigrants, allies, poor countries, or even Democrats who disagree with him. He will not threaten to imprison political rivals. He will not claim that the news is fake or that the press is “the enemy of the people.” Those days are over. The way forward will not be easy, but at least we have a chance to focus on policy instead of contempt for our neighbors.
