I didn�t see Biden�s speech but holy poo poo the right is frothing mad about it. I�ll never not enjoy the �are you triggered lib???� crowd getting just insanely triggered by mundane poo poo like that.

Is it me or did the imagery there seem to take away from the intended message?

Like, this seemed like the kind of speech you'd have the prez sitting at the oval office desk looking directly into the camera over, instead of on stage backlit with guards behind etc.

Ultimately the speech on reading it seemed pretty good, but saying that in sort of the more menacing imagery / context seems like the message is less 'unity first heres the threat to this unity' and more 'here is a threat don't be on this side' kinda deal.

It's a small thing but given that the imagery is already being latched onto heavily by the detractors I can't help but wonder what the imagery added to the speech in any positive way.

The detractors were going to latch onto something no matter what. It was a red/white/blue backdrop but the close in shots only showed the red. And it wouldn't have mattered regardless.

Then the pundits got hung up on Marines being in the background. Because you definitely can't go find pictures of all the other presidents giving speeches with anyone in the military visible in any way, no sir.

It really boils down to this:

Yup. And the background had red/white/blue lighting but you could only see the red on the close in shots. But it wouldn�t have mattered

How stupid do you have to be to not ditch your phone the moment they start getting seized for things that you were definitely in on?
