From The State Of The Union - Anyone Else Notice This?

In case you missed it, you can watch it here.

And if you wanna, you know, read it - you can read it here.

My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy. 

A future based on the core values that have defined America. 

Honesty. Decency. Dignity. Equality. 

To respect everyone. To give everyone a fair shot. To give hate no safe harbor.  

Now some other people my age see a different story.  

An American story of resentment, revenge, and retribution.

But did anyone else notice that the words "decency" and "dignity" start with a D and the words "resentment, revenge, and retribution" each start with an R?

What party is Biden from?  What party Trump?

Maybe it was an unconscious decision from whomever wrote the address. Maybe it was just a coincidence and I'm connecting dots needlessly.
