Predictable as ever, Democrats and their reliable partners in the news media have escalated political conflict to the point of violence and now that the once unspeakable has happened they’re insisting on a do-over. No thanks!
Naturally, they don’t just come out and say that’s what they want. They instead dress it up in calls for “unity” and declare it a time to “cool it down.”
President Biden, who has spent the past three years calling Donald Trump the imminent death to America, said Sunday at the White House, “We cannot — we must not go down this road in America. We’ve traveled it before throughout our history. Violence has never been the answer. …”
Fine timing. You could cover the entire solar system with pages from newspapers, magazines, and cable news transcripts that contain the words “Trump” and “Hitler” in the same sentence.
That’s against a backdrop of two impeachments (the trial for the second took place while Trump wasn’t even in office), attempts to remove his name from the ballot, attempts to zero out his bank account through lawfare, and attempts to lock him in prison.
But now that they’ve shoved us all within a fraction of an inch of civil war they’d like everyone to just calm down for a minute.
You were nearly shot in the head? My goodness, what did you do to make him pull the trigger? It might help if you wrote him an apology note.
None of these people want “unity.” They want a reset.
Their electoral chances are in free fall, their lawfare campaign against a former president was kneecapped by the Supreme Court, and they instigated a failed assassination. To remind voters about all of it, over and over, would surely hurt the guilty parties involved.
I’d insist on a mulligan, too.
Here’s an idea: Democrats forfeit the election and abandon their political prosecutions. Then we’ll talk.
