Jason Chaffetz: [alleged] President-elect Biden calls for 'unity' – but where was 'unity' from Dems when Trump won?
fox ^ | Jason Chaffetz

Posted on 11/08/2020 7:21:21 AM PST by BenLurkin

Remember when Democrats called for peace and unity in the days following the 2016 election of Donald Trump? Neither do I.

In the months following, the “Resistance” was born. Clinton voters, many from outside my district, packed my town hall in the days following the presidential inauguration.

They carried out a well-documented plan to disrupt the meeting, displace many actual constituents, and shout me down. Similar acts of sabotage were replicated around the country, all following a script developed by Resistance activists.

But now in 2020, as Joe Biden proclaims himself the president-elect, it's a "time to heal." Convenient.

And just like that, “Resistance” is no longer in fashion. The rules have been rewritten.

When Democrats hold power, we must be unified, and our opposition must be silent. Not to be confused with the rules when Republicans hold power...

In reality, it's highly unlikely Trump supporters will replicate the violence, the hate, and the looting that characterized so many leftist protests over the last four years. But if Democrats believe Americans are obligated to passively stand by while they pursue an agenda that hurts American workers and limits their fundamental rights, they will be disappointed.

Americans will not be silent. Instead, we will take the wins President Trump left us and use them to defend against a leftist agenda we believe undermines the very core of American values.

The irony of Saturday's night of celebration for Democrats is that Election Day was actually quite devastating down-ballot. Though they believe they have claimed the presidency, Democrats failed at every other level.

On top of all of this bad news for Democrats is the reality that they can no longer depend on activist courts to enforce unpopular legislative priorities they are unable to pass in Congress.

“He obviously doesn’t mean it. You cannot unite a country with fraud, subterfuge, and censorship.”

Anyone who believes that Buyden could unite the country .... is a fool or a deceiver. Buyden lied again making a promise he knows he doesn’t have to keep - he will get all the cover from the kkkrap media that it is the GOP / deplorable chumps Trump voters that don’t want unity and that is why they were not successful. After 4 years of the crimes, libel and slander he and the demonkkkraps committed against Trump, and others (ACB, Kavanaugh, Flynn, Huckabee, Rand Paul, the police, et al) .... Mr Biden, meet the new resistance.

I thought borders were closed because of CoVid. It’s only US citizens that can’t travel.

What party would run a presidential candidate who ran a campaign from his basement, would call a “lid” for days at a time from public view and give speeches to a room with 5 people? hell, Kamala wasn’t even out there.

One that knew they had it in the bag all along. As Joe let slip in remarks to the press.

Thanks for the reminder. We would need to get the Free Republic to invest in a memory expansion to load in all the examples we have.

They should be begging for forgiveness for all the division, hate,slander, violence and destruction they caused. Instead, they lecture us about unity and moderation?!

The Dems NEED THE APPEARANCE of UNITY and BIPARTISANSHIP to cover their nefarious acts against the Constitution and the American People.

POTUS has shown all of America a better way to live and govern, Americans voted in record numbers for the American Dream and the Dems and RINOs KNOW THIS.

All collaborators should be duly noted and voted out of office at the first possible election (Primaried). We the people hold the power in the GOP if we will wield the sword $$$!

We are the party of working Americans, they must have our concurrence to survive, they are leeches and we must not let them bleed us any more. Move to cash, a debt free lifestyle, minimalist living (no extravagances) If we discipline ourselves the $$ machine breaks and the veil becomes torn To the point of exposing the deep state to the extreme.

It may take a couple of years but when the productive members of society shrug the rest of society are just Antifa lite in hiding. Let us force them into the light of day by being totally law abiding in the extreme and being good neighbors (for there is no law this).

Oh, and don’t forget Victory gardens!

WWG1WGA!

Excuse me? The resistance was born before Trump was elected! Jason ought to know better than this...

Very good points, of course.

I don’t like to behave like Dems, but it’s worth pointing out their hypocrisy.

It’s also worth noting that violent riots occur not just the last 4 years (really only this last), but anytime the commie rioters want to whine about America, period. The BLM and riots strparted under their beloved Uhbama, and we also had OWS and numerous economic summits, most recently under said-same Uhbama.

It’s the type of unity where you unconditionally surrender to their rule and their agenda.

Unity to a communist is nothing but fascism that demands obedience to the political party.

I prefer destroying that party and not being unified with them.

Yes, they started “Resisting” Trump from day one, and it was not just the lower level brown shirts. What other president has had the Speaker of the House tear up his SOTU on a live broadcast?”

Speaker of the house wanted to be president.

Biden can’t issue anything. Biden is close to being brain dead. He confuse his grand daughter with his son who had been dead for six years. Kamala and Biden’s handlers are calling the shots. Everybody anf ther camel and horse need to insure Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue are elected in n Georgia. Raphlesberger, Georgia Secretary of State need to insure poll watchers are pushing in place and ballot counting ing machines are not compromised.

The unity they have in mind is when all Republicans have been shipped off to the gulag.
