And those people further left will continue trying to work with these fucking goons who won’t even come to the table, let alone compromise on anything.
if an election defeat is bad enough, it does not matter if they “come to the table”.
our government has been fractured for so long, its hard to remember when it actually worked.
please vote - so that, with luck, we might be able to vote again.
No.
Fuck you, GOP. The only acceptable intolerance is intolerance.
I shall fight you on the beaches, I shall fight you on the landing grounds, I shall fight you in the fields and in the streets, I shall fight you in the hills; I shall never surrender my country to your bigotry and fascism.*

Not hard to have “unity” when they’ve worked to purge anyone from the party who disagreed with the cult.
And they want to bring that same “unity” to normal Americans, too.
All these “journalist” need to stop with these “both sides” headline bullshit. The RNC contained nothing about unity, and they continued their calls for violence. The media needs to wise up at some point and realize that a Trump win means that Project 2025 will allow him to turn all media into state sponsored propaganda machines, else lose their license and be out of business. So unless they all want to be the next RT (which Trump really only needs one), they better stop this whole “balanced” nonsense and start reporting on these monsters for the danger that they are. Continuing to treat them like they have “turned a corner” just continues to normalize their destruction of norms and disdain for the law.
This title should read more like, “During an unhinged RNC, GOP nominate Trump and call on MAGA to ‘fight, fight, fight’ against democracy”.
What in this headline is “both sides”? It’s literally all about how the GOP is full of shit
The whole title. They had no talk of unity, and repeating it even to later denounce it only aids the ring wing talking points, and is completely missed by people only reading headlines.
I read that title as, the GOP calling for unity even amongst its growing hard right faction, but not a bit of that is true.
“Unity” to the GOP means everyone acquiesces to them.
GOP “unity” is “we shall dictate to you and you will unify with that.”
“Stop resisting”
The Nazis were for unity, too. Unity under one Reich for all of Europe (at least).
Trump was commenting on getting revenge on political foes like a week ago and uses the word “unity” haha
As it does more often than not, “unity” means “I’m gonna keep doing the same crazy and explicitly hostile shit I’ve always been doing, and I want you to unify with the idea of me doing that and not give me any static about it”
They call for unity from the perspective of the abuser.
I can’t deny they’ve done a good job of reaching out to traditional Republicans. You can call them liars all you want and I agree but what matters is who was on stage. Maga isn’t worried and the suburban “I’m not racists” think there is a moral center to the party.
