I get that President Donald Trump is rewriting his speech to focus on unity, and I don’t blame him. Having had a gun pointed at me once, I know it can impact you. I can only imagine how coming within millimeters of being murdered will do the same, even more so. How he reacts is up to him and understandable. I’m not really interested in “unity” right now.
As others reconcile, I have some things I want to say before I entertain the idea of coming together with people responsible for the murder of a father and firefighter and the wounding of others.
The Democrats speaking loudest about “unity” are the people with the most blood on their hands from Saturday. They did this, they inspired this. I’ve been saying for years that there is only one outcome to the rhetoric the left was using against Trump and Republicans in general and that is murder.
If you hear from people you trust that “worse than Hitler” will wipe out all freedoms in this country if he wins the election, and you believe it, you’re left with the idea that someone SHOULD do something to prevent it. If no one else does, and you’re unstable (as too many on the left are), you will believe YOU must act. Then you get what happened Saturday.
I’ve been predicting it for years. I’m not a soothsayer, many people have been predicting it. Hell, Stevie Wonder could’ve seen this coming. The people pretending to be “shocked” by it are the ones most responsible for the tone that inspired it.
You know how I know? They’re the ones “both-sides-ing” the attempted assassination. After cheering and raising bail money for their BLM/ANTIFA Brownshirts perma-riot goon squad in the Pacific Northwest, and barely belching out a tweet of disagreement of their anti-Semitism this year on college campuses across the country, we’re supposed to now believe that those who created the phrase “mostly peaceful” to cover up the destruction they cheered are now interested in condemning political violence? Spare me.
They fear people noticing the blood on their hands, both the fresh stuff and the dried clumps under their fingernails from the past decade.
Why the hell would I unify with that?
Joe Biden gives a political address from the Oval Office and I’m supposed to get all teary-eyed about coming together as a country with people desperately trying to memory hole that they’ve been publicly rooting for this since Trump’s escalator ride in 2015? The people who said George W. Bush was Hitler, that John McCain was Hitler, that Mitt Romney was Hitler, that Donald Trump was Hitler, and even Ron DeSantis was Hitler are now pretending to be interested in toning down political rhetoric because one of their followers believed them, and I’m supposed to unify with that?
Do their followers not notice that they’re calling for unity with people they’ve accused, up until about 6:15 Saturday afternoon, of trying to destroy the country? People they say are working to bring about the “end of democracy,” imprison dissenters, round up media personalities for execution, and steal all the nation’s wealth so they can give it to their friends while doing the bidding of Russia? That seems odd, doesn’t it?
Shouldn’t they be upset too? Who would call for the unity with “worse than Hitler”?
Of course, they were lying the whole time. Will the audiences of MSNBC and CNN notice? Will they care? Some people want to be lied to, they need it because the truth – reality itself – is too hard to take.
Reality is not a friend to the Democrats and they know it. There’s a reason Monday’s edition of Morning Joe was canceled and it had nothing to do with “breaking news.” As CNN reported, “the decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.”
They knew the gang wouldn’t be able to control themselves; that they couldn’t shift on a dime to not calling all Republicans Nazis or lamenting the shooter’s poor aim, that it was better to forego all the advertising dollars and scrap the show rather than try to get highly paid adults to control themselves. Their goal is to cover up what they were, so being it more would be counter-productive.
Of course, any adjustments will be temporary, lasting just long enough to get past the point of people noticing. Then all will return to its normal, hateful selves. You know it, I know it, and even they know it. Why in the hell would I ever unify with that?
