When you interact with "the left" so little they only exist as a caricature I see why you would think this.

Pretty ironic statement considering the left constantly makes caricatures of the right. Again, they’re all dumb, racist, hillbillies!
I imagine I engage with significantly more very liberal people than you do with conservatives. I have an unusually large group of what I call day 1 friends, people I’ve known for 15-20 years, that I talk to on a regular basis, & some of them are very liberal. I doubt you can say the same.

First, I don't know why right-wingers are claiming that Biden enacting policy he campaigned on goes against his pledge for unity. Actions on Israel(unclear what she's referring to) and abortion do not contradict his calls for unity.

Really what Biden is talking about is unity when possible, and civility when we disagree.



Pretty much. Plus the ratings would plummet at Fox News.

they already have due to their anti-American bullshit that you lap up like a cowardly dog

Somewhere in a small town in Arkansas, there is an innocent baby girl with a deadbeat crackhead dad and a stripper mom whose grandfather becomes our president today.

inb4 thor’s usless retort something about oh he eavesdropped on some old conservatives talking about something not in praise of biden the swamp demon and he watches faux news and they’re idiots and that means the same as your experience

I've noticed nothing triggers the right-wing more than calls for unity. Kind of interesting that supposed nationalists can't get behind it.

I guarantee I've interacted with conservatives more in my life than you have liberals.

Do you not know I grew up in rural Missouri and still live in Missouri?

Only place you can go to get more conservative is maybe rural Alabama.

It's not the calls for unity itself which are the problem, it's the implication of "unity on liberal terms". They're trying to act like the victor of a war who can dictate the terms of peace that the defeated side has to agree to, whether they like it or not.

When Democrats and liberals are calling for unity these days, what they actually mean is the following:
"we get it, your support for Trump was some sort of misguided rebelling against the inevitable arc of history. could you please acknowledge that this little experiment has failed and gently resign yourself to the inevitability of the world becoming ever-more liberal, globalist and woke?"

They act as if they have won the whole war, not just a single battle. This "cold civil war" which has been going on for 2 decades plus is not decided just because Democrats were able to barely oust a man who largely self-destructed. And let's not forget that even this minimum goal was only achieved because a once-in-a-century pandemic gave them strong tailwinds, something they cant bank on in future elections.

Ergo they are not actually calling for unity.

No one is saying that the left must seek unity, but Biden says he does, and unity requires compromise.
