Why Calls to 'Come Together' are Misguided and Dead Wrong [Vanity]
12/21/2016 | self

The inevitable refrain after contentious elections or issue debates always seems to be that we should "come together" for a common cause. I firmly disagree.

The fundamental root of the disagreement still exists, after the smoke clears and a decisive winner emerges. How can that be ignored?

Milquetoast "moderates" like to dutifully spout the fiction that we are all looking for the best for our country/fellow citizen, and we are just in disagreement on how that is to be accomplished. There is not a bigger lie than this.

“”come together” is a Saul Alinsky tactic to shut up conservatives.

Lefties want to “come together” when they are getting their butts kicked.

When they are in the driver’s seat, it’s “We won.”

It’s like the calls for Trump to ‘reach out’ to democrats...

That’s nuts.

The press never put out that crap when Obama was elected - they NEVER NEVER TOLD OBAMA TO ‘REACH OUT TO REPUBLICANS’.

Fair is fair.

We should no more expect them to “come together” now any more than we “came together” when the Kenyan was elected. Twice.

Conservatives worked outside the main against the media, academia, the Beltway and popular culture and we faced overwhelming attacks with their hated, bitterness, racism and worse.

Now it’s their time to sit down and shut up.

MAGA

We should never forget Obama’s words in 2009.

I won. Elections have consequences.
Don’t do too much talking, and get to the back of the bus.

Conservatives will never have the opportunity to right the wrongs again. It’s now, or never. The weak kneed should be supported, the strong encouraged. We cannot back-pedal now.

I suppose you’re not into “reaching out,” either.

Trump should reach out..and smite them with a mailed fist. Soros and 0bama are forming a shadow government, so yes he should “bury the hatchet”..in them!

Trump should use them where he can and ignore them where he can’t...

Democrats would stick a knife in his back if they could - these ARE the people who hired thugs to rough up Trump supporters at rallies... then ran to the press to complain about violence. Bad people.

Obama was ready to go to war with Russia he was so pissed that Americans found out Hillary was given the debate questions before the debates... and that democrats REALLY WERE IN BED WITH THE PRESS. (As if half of us didn’t already know that)

Evil horrible people... Trump should never trust them... and we shouldn’t either.
