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.

The thief in chief will restore ISIS just to undo everything Trump did.

Fox News was told to return to its role of the whining, permanent opposition.

Too late. You fascist/socialist bastards have instilled a hatred for you that will not cease until you are burned from the national fabric.

Once sworn, still sworn.

Leftist DEMS spent FOUR YEARS in their #resistance movement against Trump and those that supported him, as well as attempting to destroy this country.

Unite?

Ever heard of karma?!

Unite my arse, NOT HAPPENING!
#RESISTANCE

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

“Unity” means “Knuckle under”

Biden means “submission.”

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?

“A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle” (Proverbs 18:19).

There was a time when our two parties could at least get along. No longer can this ever be true in America. The Democrats have shown themselves to be unapologetic socialists (though it can be argued that at least 10% of the Republicans are no different).

Unity for the dems means capitulating to their demands.

They don’t want unity they want submission.

Jason, God love you, we are past attributing sense and sensibility to Biden supporters. We are all cancelling fox, Twitter, Facebook and satellite TV altogether, as these entities go all in for a Biden presidency obviously based on theft of and manufacturing of votes

Not 1 judge.
Not 1 tax increase.
Not 1 liberal appointment.

What their Senate was going to do to us, we shall demand be done to them.

And that is if the election fraud court challenges fail.

Democrats showed us the example of unity for the past four years. They will get the same.

There isn’t going to be any “unity” from Harris/Biden this time, except with BLM, AntiFa and their minions against US.
