AI Summary:
Joe Biden says he believes the “soul of America” remains at stake. In a letter released on Wednesday morning, just hours before he is set to deliver a farewell address to the country, Biden urges Americans to come together. Biden urged Americans to keep the faith and remember who we are. Biden and his Democratic Party allies have previously warned that the Republican president-elect poses a threat to democracy. On January 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building in Washington, DC, to try to prevent Congress from certifying Biden’s 2020 election victory over his Republican rival. Trump continues to falsely claim that the 2020 vote was rigged against him and has pledged to pardon those convicted for their actions. The fact that Trump is resurgent and returning to power, more powerful than he was when he left, is an unhappy coda to the story.

"Remember who we are". We are the country that wrote our first immigration law to keep out Asians. We are the country that said all men are equal while holding slaves. We are the country that inspired the Nazis with our eugenics and system of institutional racism keeping blacks down. We are the country that committed genocide against Native Americans. We are the country with more prisoners than any other nation on the planet. We are the country that spends the most on healthcare but still allows people to die from preventable diseases because they are poor.

Trump is exactly who we are. We are racist greedy trash that doesn't deserve to exist.
