These Republicans are not asking for unity. They are requesting capitulation to a deeply unwell and volatile man.
That will not heal or unify anything.
Accountability, rule of law, and removal of clear & present dangers are what will help stabilize the present situation.

Instead of capitulation, we need:
1) accountability for an attempted coup, and
2) a progressive agenda to help all Americans.
That’s how you heal a nation and make sure this doesn’t happen again.

We are witnessing the largest under-reaction to a violent insurrection lead by a sitting president in the history of humankind and it’s because the Republican Party/trump are experts at one thing: Denying the premise of reality and convincing people anti-government is government.

I keep thinking of the analogy of the old joke of the person who murders his parents and then pleads for leniency because he is an orphan. These are people who incited division and called for sedition, and now plead for unity.

Rwanda engaged in truth and reconciliation after the genocide.
A genocide that was fueled by hate spread over the radio.

The hypocrisy of the GOP. Where was their unity when they refused to accept a fair election and instead decided to cause an insurrection with their lies and division ?

I got grounded for all sorts of stuff as a kid because my parents believed in consequences for your actions. Same principle. So simple.

I don’t want to unified with people in Auschwitz sweatshirts. I don’t want to be unified with people who put a noose in front of the capitol and yelled about hanging the VP. Unity is not what I want with these people.
