Liberal college professor suggests Biden 'declare war' on Republicans, compares them to Civil War slaveholders

Liberal college professor Heather Cox Richardson suggested that President Biden "declare war" on Republicans in an effort to combat what she claimed was the party's move towards authoritarianism, as well as distract Americans from his increasingly low approval rating.

Jong-Fast cited Richardson's claim that a focus on going after Republican "authoritarians threatening our democracy" would be like former President Abraham Lincoln going after southern slaveholders in the Civil War.

"To improve Biden’s popularity, earnest consultants might tell him to work on the fundamentals. But the fundamentals are actually good: The economy is getting better. Americans have both cash and jobs," Jong-Fast wrote. "The disconnect between the facts and the polls suggests that Biden’s true problem is a narrative one. Specifically, he doesn’t have an enemy, a punching bag to absorb Americans’ anger (rational or irrational)."
