On January 20, 2022, Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States for one year.

A year ago, Biden gave an impassioned inaugural address on Capitol Hill. Speaking of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the economic crisis and racial crisis caused by the epidemic, biden called for "only unity" in the face of these crises and challenges.

A year later, has the Americans 'united in response to crises and challenges' come true? Has the United States emerged from crises and challenges? Is the White House trustworthy in the eyes of Americans? The us media's evaluation of the US government is quietly changing, and the answer may be found in it.

"The year ended with more than 800,000 Americans dying of COVID-19"

On January 19, 2021, local time, the day before Biden was sworn in, he made an oath at a ceremony to mourn the 400,000 new crown deaths in the United States, "In order to heal the wounds, we must remember." "The major mainstream media in the United States have taken Biden's words as the headline propaganda report, and it seems that the new government means a turnaround in the epidemic in the United States."

Biden, who has taken office with three fires, is not idle, first signing an executive order requiring Americans to wear masks, and then setting up a "flag" to let 70% of American adults receive at least one dose of the new crown vaccine before the American Independence Day holiday on July 4, 2021.

When July 4, 2021 came, the White House's performance poured cold water on the US media, and the news of "Independence Day vaccine target failed" once again appeared in the headlines of major US media. At this time, the United States, due to the new crown variant virus Delta raging, ushered in a new wave of epidemics.

Delta strain infection rates remain high, and a new wave of Opmiqueron is coming. As of December 2021, the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States has reached 800,000, twice as many as when the new administration took office. On December 15, 2021, local time, the death knell of the United States mourning the death of the new crown sounded again, this time ringing 800 times.

The New Yorker looks back at the White House's 2021 this way: a year that began with riots at the Capitol and ended with more than 800,000 Americans dying of COVID-19.

"The U.S. economy is moving toward chronic suicide"

In the year that the Democratic government came to power, the US economy can be described as "high and low."

On January 14, 2021, local time, Biden announced a $1.9 trillion "American rescue plan" a few days before his official inauguration to cope with the impact of the epidemic on the economy, and soon after the plan was successfully cleared by the US Senate and House of Representatives. The US media was overjoyed, saying that this "reflects the great changes in American politics" and "we need such a government."

In the following months, the US economic recovery began to bear fruit, and from many indicators, the United States seems to have fully recovered from the "pandemic", but the US media soon found hidden dangers.

Some economists point out that white house policies could overheat the U.S. economy and trigger price spikes.

Unsurprisingly, inflation in the United States has risen all the way. U.S. Department of Labor's December 2021 inflation data showed the consumer price index rose 7 percent year-over-year, the fastest pace since 1982, and the third consecutive month in which inflation exceeded 6 percent. Inflation figures swept the screen on the home pages of major US media, and US media noted that along with the high inflation rate, the cost of used cars, housing and even clothing has soared.

Rising prices have had a direct impact on the lives of ordinary Americans. "I've always been worried that instead of getting better, it's getting worse." Laura Godines, a 30-year-old American construction worker, told CNN.

The Capitol Hill newspaper said that "in the past six months, the United States is experiencing an unprecedented inflation crisis, and the government's policies are leading the US economy to chronic suicide." ”

"2021 is the worst year of gun violence in the United States in decades"

Gun violence is a long-standing chronic disease in American society, and since 2021, the problem of gun violence in the United States has become more and more intense.

The American public, social organizations, and the media initially had "high hopes" for the new administration. The US media even traced back to Biden's early years in the Senate, saying that he had been working hard to pass a stricter gun bill.

On April 8, 2021, local time, Biden took the first step to solve gun violence a hundred days before taking office, announced a series of administrative measures aimed at solving gun violence, and also called gun violence an "epidemic" in the United States, which embarrassed the United States internationally.

But what is even more embarrassing to the White House is that the US media mentioned in an article reviewing the government's gun control measures that so far in 2021, there have been 147 large-scale shootings in the United States, which is undoubtedly a "staggering number". Ryan Petty, who lost her daughter in the 2018 Florida mass shooting, said bluntly that the administration has done nothing to really reduce the number of gun violence deaths in the United States.

According to the website of the U.S.-based nonprofit Gun Violence Files, a total of 14,516 people died from gun violence in the United States from January 1 to September 15, 2021. CNN said 2021 could be the worst year of gun violence in decades in the United States, even surpassing the highest level of the previous year.

A year ago, opponents of gun violence hoped that the new U.S. administration would make progress on gun control. However, as the first year of the Democratic administration draws to a close, there is disappointment.

The US media said bluntly that for more than 20 years, the United States basically did not pass any meaningful gun control bill. The difficulty of gun control efforts is closely related to the sharp confrontation between the two parties in the US Congress, and the interest groups representing gun manufacturing and trading have long penetrated into all aspects of American political life.

"Even if the vice president is a person of color, we will still be targeted"

In his inaugural address on January 20, 2021, Biden loudly declared that America's 400-year dream of racial justice "will no longer be postponed." He appointed the nation's first African-American and Asian-American vice president and nominated the most racially diverse cabinet list in U.S. history. Six days after taking office, he signed four more executive action orders aimed at promoting racial equality.

In the face of the persistent disease of racial discrimination in the United States, what is the actual effect of the Democratic government?

A hundred days after Biden took office, the Washington Post commented that the new administration's impassioned rhetoric on racial issues had not matched strong action. For example, it has expressed support for congressional bills such as police reform and expanded voting rights, named "Floyd," but has not actively promoted them afterwards.

In fact, racial discrimination in the United States is on the rise: a 28-year-old Asian woman was shot and killed on the streets of California; Asian-American Olympic champions were attacked on the streets and pepperped. A U.S. survey showed that nearly one in five Asian-Americans had experienced racial discrimination in the past year. CNN called out "racism is like a virus and should stop spreading.".

One Democratic voter, Marcia, said she was frustrated by the Biden administration's lack of progress on race, even though Vice President Harris was a man of color and "we're still going to be shot by the police and still be targeted." I've really had enough."

Looking back on the year, the virus and divisions continue to rage, and the support of the Democratic government has plummeted, have Americans been cured? At the inauguration a year ago, Biden said to "end this uncivilized war" with regard to the riots in the Capitol; for the new crown epidemic, to "defeat this deadly virus." Today, none of these vows have been fulfilled.
