Because Biden endorsed Unity so many times in his inaugural address. It was a such refreshing departure and contrast from Trump's obsession with Unreal lies and propoganda.

To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.

It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:

Unity.

Unity.

With Unity we can do great things. Important things.

I know speaking of Unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.

History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of Unity.

For without Unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.

This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and Unity is the path forward.

And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.

Of Unity, not division.

Did you watch the video of Autodesk attacking Ton Roosendaal with falling ceiling plaster? (I didn't make that part up: It happened just after Ton mentioned Autodesk, so he immediately joked: "That was Autodesk!")
