    Um, pressuring elected leaders to quit their job is not done with an intention of silencing their voices? Okay then.

    So you support a monopoly corporation which has the power to "disappear" people and the power to shut down any competition just because you agree with who they are silencing today? Okay then.

    no, it's a call for them to quit their jobs, as they are ineffectual as leaders, and openly supported a batshit crazy conspiracy theory, which led to sedition and insurrection at the capitol building.

    strawman.

    Twitter and facebook are not monopolies, as evidenced by the numerous other social media outlets. Again, you need to take a basic civics course, and actually read and comprehend the constitution. You can not force a private company to publish your thoughts/words on their platform.

    When I read the OP what comes to mind is Kafka: Modern day liberalism is a cage in search of a bird.

    So which President of the 'left' invited BLM or Antifa ( whatever you think that is) to Washington DC, and gave a speech telling them to march on the Capital literally hours before they broke into a federal building terrorized its inhabitants and caused the death of 4 innocents? This was Was that Clinton, or Obama, or Carter or Kennedy?

    The man instigated a riot as President of the United states, and you are still trying desperately to find something remotely approaching it. That is why you posted that garbage about Pelosi, suggesting she advocated BLM violence when it is a LIE, just as it was a lie when Trump said that Biden did not condemn violence. We have 30 years of history on him condemning violence literally every time he saw it. That is who you have become, and you are not alone so has virtually the entire Republican party. Nobody cares what you or they say when Trump is a lame duck with only 12 days left. .

    There can be no unity with this republican leadership because they enabled this every time they let Trump skate on his lies. We need to unify with 'never trump' republicans because they refused to sell out. They did not 'discover' character, and courage, when it no longer took any!

    10 days and Biden is in charge of "unity". He's not starting well and I doubt he'll change. We'll be even worse off four years from now, I predict.

    I can't see how anyone could possibly think we would be better off.

    By 2024, we'll have had 16 years of elected executives dividing the country along party lines. For some kid who turns 16 in 2024, that will be their entire world experience. What a shame.

    Things are about to get really crazy though with Democrat leaders urging Big Tech to censor anyone with "dissenting" political views. I hear Joe is planning to pump tax dollars into a commission and push for "Domestic Terrorism" legislation. Socialist oppression hear we come.

    One of the wonderful partisan benefits of this new strategy of persuading half the country that Biden 'stole the election', is that it is almost impossible for him to lead. Nobody ever cooperates or compromises or listens to a cheater and a thief.

    Biden can not unify after this. There is no 'honeymoon' for a cheater. No sense of good will or hope here. There is no working with a thief

    This is a fantastic way to sabotage the opposition from day 1

    Well, yes. I do expect that "I can't succeed, because it's all Trump's fault," will be Biden's main message. He campaigned on "I'm not Trump. Trump is evil." He won the election and instead of taking control and issuing a healing message, he continues with "Trump is a horrible subhuman being".

    A strong man (or woman) with a strong mind and the right narrative can lead and unite, if they wish. Biden ain't it. A smart man would realize that 70-80 million people voted for Trump and continuing to trash Trump further alienates them instead relaying a message which would at least gain grudging acceptance. Biden ain't smart.

    Well anyway. You are correct that "Trumpism" will be the main narrative, and excuse, for the next four years. Trump's legacy will completely overshadow any accomplishments the Biden admin might make as long as Dems maintain a distracted narrative focused on hate, angst, and now revenge. Remember, "The other side doesn't simply have a different opinion. They are the evil enemy to be condemned daily." That is today's Democratic platform which started with Obama's refusal to negotiate, debate and compromise on policy, but instead responded to his lack of negotiating skills with "Well it's too bad America is a racist country". Pretty empty.

    So, of course, in 2024, after four years of Biden's continuation and deepening of divisions to "avenge the left wing", people on the right looking for an even more powerful "avenger" for their "side".

    It's not going to stop until we get a strong and smart leader. Next chance for unity: 2024. Will the angry country choose that? Will the parties give them that option when it comes down to two nominees?

    No one can unify with trumpsters. They are supporters of a cult. The cult itself has to die and each member with whom you hope to unify, has to be deprogramed and that means it has to be isolated from the cult leader, and other members long enough to get through the programmed denials and defenses. Its almost impossible to do in the age of internet and social media. Biden can begin to unify with republicans who were not part of this cult,but there really aren't many of them.

    We as a people, have to make it our mission to deprogram the entire Trump cult and that will be a very painful process, that will take years. No President can do that.

    Biden 's job was to separate the leader from his seat of power, to stop the rot But because of the Big Lie, half the country believes he stole the election and they would be traitors to the Orange Leader to unify with Biden. A scorched earth strategy can be very effective in stopping the growth of anything good for years.

    Sort of like the fake Russian collusion used to derail Trump.

    How do we deprogram you people. Maybe have you go out and do a little hard manual labor in the fields as your hero Mao suggested.

    Well, yes. That is the divisive rhetoric we'll be hearing for the next four years. I didn't even bother to read the rest of your post after that fine example of what the near future brings.

    The left is now in favor of censoring and silencing anyone who disagrees with them on the basis of "All Trump supporters are part of an evil cult." CNN is even saying that cable providers should immediately stop carrying FOX News Channel. Key Democrats and influences are saying that alternate news sources (any network which doesn't provide only left-wing State propaganda) are a danger to democracy.

    Really nice way to "unite and heal" all our fellow Americans. This won't end well. Biden is nothing but a useful tool, an empty meat suit, to be used by the globalists to push toward totalitarian power.

    Okay. I read the rest of your post. Just as dystopian and Orwellian as the first two sentences.

    These crocodile tears are almost funny to read and watch. But only almost.
