Text Biden at the White House – they’re waiting for your message!
Engaging with Controversy: Texting President Biden
When you find yourself in the midst of controversy, it’s like stepping into a battlefield without armor. On platforms like X or Reddit, critics will swarm and dominate the conversation.
Take, for example, the recent move by the White House to invite Americans to text President Joe Biden using a provided number through X. It’s a risky move that might just backfire. No bulletproof vest can shield him from the onslaught of criticism.
Biden’s policies and his “America last” agenda have ignited a firestorm of anger. It’s boiling over, and Americans are seizing every opportunity to express their frustration. And with a number to text, it’s become all too easy.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to text Biden myself. The reply I received was nauseatingly childlike, completely unfitting for the President of the United States. It was consistent with Biden’s disappointing performance, record, and stature.
The message read, “Hey there, it’s President Biden. Thanks for reaching out – I’m excited to be connected. I’m giving out this number because I wanted a direct channel to communicate with folks like you. I’ll text here from time to time, and you should feel free to text me too. I won’t be able to reply to everything, but I’ll try my hardest. Click this link so I can read your message and reply to you. https://m.community.com/o2im1qVJivz1yUZ“
The only impressive thing about that explanation was how well it captured Biden’s tendency to talk down to Americans. It’s also surprising that no one in the Biden administration questioned the potential consequences of this stunt.
I wonder how many Biden supporters actually believe they now have direct access to the president. Conservatives and former fans of Biden already have his number, and they will use it to express their exasperation with the current state of affairs.
And there’s plenty to be exasperated about.
As a Bloomberg newsletter put it in October, “the US economy is breaking in plain sight. Only the savings cushion of the richest 20% are keeping it afloat. And if interest rates keep rising nearly every day, even that won’t be enough.”
This means that most U.S. households are running out of cash, including the money they’ve stashed away beyond their bank accounts.
Another sore spot is the southern border, which remains open and overflowing. According to the Washington Examiner, “More than 10 million people have been reported illegally entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the greatest number in history and of any administration.”
These illegal immigrants have been scattered across U.S. cities, turning some of them into Third World countries resembling the places they left behind. Homelessness, human trafficking, drug trafficking, violent crime – the list goes on, making it unsafe for American families to live. And now, some states are even giving illegal immigrants guns and placing them in law enforcement positions, despite their illegal status.
Taxpayers no longer see any benefits from the taxes they pay. Instead, they see red as Biden announces his support for another $200 million in aid to Ukraine. And if we dare to speak out against such decisions, we become enemies of our own government. Yet, they still call this a free country.
Americans are getting married and having babies at a declining rate. Even if they wanted to, young couples can’t afford homes to settle into. The nation is divided, depressed, and lonelier than ever. If you don’t know someone who is either obese or on medication, you probably don’t get out much.
The United States relies heavily on China for manufacturing, while suffocating itself with “green” initiatives that make no sense.
Meanwhile, the Middle East is in turmoil, forcing us to send what’s left of our fighting force to help, leaving our own country vulnerable. Yet, Democrats want to disarm Americans.
The American people have a long list of grievances, and I’ve only scratched the surface. Frankly, nothing seems to be going right under the Biden administration.
We find ourselves in an upside-down world, desperately clinging to the memories of better times under former President Donald J. Trump as we inch closer to 2024 and the next presidential election.
So I ask you, what would you text Biden?

In what ways could the Biden administration have better prepared for the criticism and backlash surrounding the text helpline, and how can they engage with controversy in a more respectful and constructive manner
Rates are skyrocketing, crime is on the rise, and public resources are stretched thin to accommodate the influx of individuals who entered the country without proper documentation.
The Biden administration’s agenda also includes policies that have drawn criticism and controversy, such as the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, the push for greater government control, and the disregard for the concerns and values of conservative Americans.
Given these issues and controversies, it’s no surprise that critics are eager to voice their frustrations and concerns. The decision to provide a text helpline for Americans to reach out to President Biden may have seemed like an attempt to connect directly with the people, but it also opened the floodgates for criticism and backlash.
Engaging with controversy is a complex task, and it requires careful consideration of the potential consequences. When inviting public input, especially through platforms like texting, it is essential to anticipate the range of responses that will be received. In the case of President Biden’s text helpline, it seems that the administration was unprepared for the wave of criticism it would generate.
Engaging with controversy can be an opportunity to address concerns, clarify intentions, and understand different perspectives. However, it is crucial to approach it with caution and respect. Responding to criticism with dismissive or condescending messages, as seen in the President’s reply, only serves to further divide and alienate.
Instead of dismissing criticism, it would be more productive for the Biden administration to acknowledge concerns, engage in meaningful dialogue, and work towards finding common ground. Engaging with controversy in a respectful and constructive manner can lead to a better understanding of the issues at hand and potential solutions.
Controversy is an inherent part of politics and public discourse. It allows for different opinions and perspectives to be voiced, challenged, and debated. Effective leadership requires the ability to engage with controversy and handle criticism in a thoughtful and responsible manner.
In conclusion, while the decision to provide a text helpline for Americans to reach out to President Biden may have been intended to foster a sense of connection and engagement, it has also provided a platform for critics and detractors to voice their frustrations. Engaging with controversy requires careful consideration and a commitment to respectful dialogue. It is an opportunity for the administration to address concerns, clarify intentions, and work towards finding common ground. Only by engaging with controversy in a constructive manner can we hope to move forward and address the pressing issues facing our nation.
