The liberal view, is that the country is united if Democrats win elections, even by narrow margins. And the liberal view is that if a Republican wins an election, it means the country is divided, because in their world, it is inconceivable that so many voters would vote for a Republican.
Leftists and Democrats are like Islamists in this respect.
If you adopt Islam and become a Muslim, or you agree to live under their laws as a non-Muslim second class citizen and pay the Jizya, then you are living in the Dar al Islam (House of Peace) and everyone is in harmony and everyone gets along.
Otherwise, you are living in the Dar al-harab (House of War) and you are fair game for every bit of abuse up to and including having your head sawed off your body with a dull sword as you breathe and scream until your windpipe is cut.
Just today, there was an opinion from the big Leftist Cheese that all Leftists prostrate themselves on the ground in fron of him, the execrable Noam Chomsky who said that unvaccinated people should be locked in their houses and starved.
No big deal. It isn’t even offensive to hear this from him, because This. Is. Who. They. Are.
