Breaking News Alert Michigan Democrats Push National Popular Vote Measures In Final Moments Of Power

They Don’t Want ‘Unity,’ They Want A Reset. Don’t Give It To Them.

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. …” Then he helped smear the blame for the weekend’s attempted assassination of Trump. “There is no place in America for this kind of violence or for any violence ever. Period,” he said. “No exceptions. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized.”

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. If cars operated on accusing Trump of being a racist dictator-in-waiting, you could flip to any TV show featuring a House Democrat and drive for a year without stopping (three years if it’s on Biden’s favorite, “Morning Joe”).

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.

I understand why the Trump campaign and its congressional allies would put out their own conciliatory statements, but that should in no way be mistaken for letting bygones be bygones. We don’t all share the blame in what Democrats have done and what the media encouraged.

They would like that, wouldn’t they? In fact, it would really help if Trump could just go ahead and apologize.

That’s not a joke. Mike Allen at Axios literally suggested it as a way for the former president to “unify” the nation. “Imagine he gave a [convention] speech featuring something he rarely shows: humility,” he wrote Monday. “Imagine him telling the nation that he has been too rough, too loose, too combative with his language — and now realizes words can have consequences, and promises to tone it down and bring new voices into the White House if he wins.”

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.
