I used to say the border wall thing too, turns out that's not super right, here's a map:
from here https://www.newsweek.com/border-wall-map-joe-biden-donald-trump-1832649

Joe Biden went out of his way to use the executive pen to waive 26 federal laws so that section of wall could be built. He ran against the border wall. I don't really care if he's waiving laws to only build a few miles - it's a complete 180* turn from his campaign and serves absolutely nobody. He's not going to win in Texas, red voters in other states aren't going to change their minds because of it. He's doing it purely because he's a right winger himself and is ideologically closer to Trump than any average blue voter is.
