President Biden's State of the Union address was a campaign speech that unified Republicans but hurt his chances with moderate voters. The speech was partisan and divisive, with Biden labeling Trump supporters as a threat to America. The address also focused on Ukraine, China, and Israel, with Biden calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and criticizing Trump's policies. The speech was met with protests from the progressive squad, who wore white and black scarves to signal their support for Palestinians. The Biden administration is accused of broad surveillance of Americans' financial data, with banks being asked to search for private transactions that use terms like MAGA, Biden, Kamala, and Trump. The speech was seen as a disingenuous and partisan attempt to appeal to Democrats, with Biden's approval ratings already low. The election is shaping up to be a civilizational one, with Trump's comeback seen as the greatest in American history.
