5 thoughts on “Riley Parr: What does unity really mean?

  1. “It’s telling that those most loudly calling for unity are the ones who spent four years doing everything they could to undermine Trump.”

    .

    Who himself spent eight years pushing the false birther agenda to undercut Obama.

    Who promised to repeal and replace Obamacare and to build a border wall but couldn’t get it done in the two years Republicans controlled House and Senate and White House.

    Who never got an absolute majority of Americans to vote for him (as both Obama and Biden did).

    Trump didn’t fail because of Obama, Biden, or Democrats. Trump failed because he is Trump, with a long record of failure.

  2. You might explain to us rubes, Chris B, how it is that after four years of relentless Trump bashing by the mainstream media, Hollywood, the Democrats wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and hours on Impeachment nonsense going nowhere while COVID loomed, every liberal in academia bashing Trump in particular and and America in general (which is to say ‘most everyone in academia), etc., that Trump got 10,000,000 MORE votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.

    1. We did not try to undermine Trump. That implies that he was doing right things. He seldom did anything that was not for his benefit, not the country’s. Which is not right. He criticized strenuously anyone (Republican or Democrat) who disagreed with him using school yard bully tactics. He tried throughout his term to establish himself as an autocrat. We criticized his policies, which both parties traditionally do, and which is protected by the Constitution. We criticized his anti-US Constitution statements and actions. Ignorance of the Constitution is not an excuse for a president. He sides with racist organizations.

      Bob P, perhaps you don’t recall that Biden received nearly 7 MILLION VOTES than Trump. You, Riley and Trump are in the minority of Americans. Your other statements show a total ignorance of the facts. Liberals did not bash America. Because we love America and its founding principles, we criticized Trump and his minions who either agreed with him or did not have the courage to stand up publicly to his bullying tactics.

  3. Quote: I suspect that the left’s calls for unity will, in the coming weeks and months, be much like the left’s calls for tolerance—agree with us, or you will be branded.

    BINGO, Riley; spot-on.

  4. Quote from Lester M: Because we love America and its founding principles…

    Really? Our Founding Fathers, while imperfect (as are you and me), stated, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

    Against that backdrop, I am supposed to believe that you liberals “love” America’s founding principles when you’ve not only endorsed the murder of over 60,000,000 unborn Americans in the womb since 1973, but you are of the opinion that taxpayers should be forced to pay for this ongoing slaughter?
