I'd hesitate to even call Biden polite. I haven't forgotten some of the clips of how rude he was during 2020 to certain people questioning him on campaign stuff. He seems really on the borderline of straight up qualifying as a "Republican" that liberals would love to hate on. The way he acts now and the way he has acted historically in policy, if he was a member of the Republican party, I don't think liberals would have trouble viewing him as one at all.
It seems to me that there is a concerted effort since sometime after his campaign started in 2020 to portray Biden as a polite reformer that he has never been in his political career. To be clear, I don't mean this in an arrogant way like I know it all or that I would have predicted he'd be this blatant about supporting genocide, but if we go back in time, I don't think the substance of him even in terms of decorum is remarkably different than what the Republicans are putting up. It's possible that by comparison, he qualifies as polite because of the Republicans leaning more into rudeness than in the past with Trump's full on crudeness, but in terms of overall liberal standards of decorum, it feels very much like being gaslighted into thinking he is that (not on your part, but on the part of the liberal faction of imperialist media).
With this said, I almost want to say it is more like between rude and crude Hitler.
