Part of what has gotten lost in translation for journalists is the word
"unity," which Biden peppered throughout his inaugural address

in
some form or another no less than 11 times. Washington journalists view the
word almost exclusively as a measure of bipartisan compromise.  Biden’s new
definition of unity now appears to be centered around coming together to
save America's democratic experiment. This political moment is simply that
“dire,” as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki put it
<https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/01/21/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-january-21-2021/>,
that fraught. In Biden’s view, no true American patriot needs to sacrifice
their values or core beliefs in order to mobilize against white supremacy
and the corrosive scourge of disinformation.
