The call for “unity” from Democrats is laughable. After four years of tearing the nation apart with Russian hoaxes, false impeachments, riots, and anything else they could do to hurt the country as long as it would also hurt the former president, now they want to make kissy face and let bygones be bygones.
.@Jim_Jordan questions how #Impeachment of Trump will lead to unity in the way @POTUS @JoeBiden called for in his Inaugural address. @seanspicer @newsmax https://t.co/CwRQWJRBcZ

Even today they preach unity and still do all they can to crush their opponents. The only unity they have in mind is our surrender.
Thus, do they deserve a national reconciliation based on their terms? Nope. Not on your life. They deserve to get, and hopefully will receive, the same coin of the realm they’ve dished out to America since 2016. New York Post pundit Michael Goodwin gets that.
Goodwin: “The joke survives the test of time and, under the circumstances, deserves repeating. As the late journalist Mickey Carroll told it, a suburban town with a population 90 percent Irish and 10 percent Jewish held a mayoral election involving two candidates — one Irish and one Jewish. The Irish candidate won with — wouldn’t you know it? — 90 percent of the vote. Whereupon he immediately denounced the clannishness of the Jews! The story offers a useful way to view Joe Biden’s calls for national unity. Let’s just say our president is as sincere as the fictional Irish mayor.
“Applying that standard to Biden, we should ignore the unity talk because everything he has done leans far left. Again, he’s entitled — elections have consequences. But knitting together a fractured America around a far-left agenda was never going to work. And Biden knows it…
“Consider that just hours after the new president moaned in his inaugural address that ‘Millions of jobs have been lost, hundreds of thousands of businesses closed,’ he deliberately killed more jobs in the energy sector. One executive order revoked the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, which snuffed out thousands of good-paying union jobs in Canada and the United States. The long-disputed project would have brought Canadian crude to Nebraska. He halted new oil, gas and coal leases on public lands and water and rejoined the Paris climate accord, which is certain to be a massive jobs killer once he sets targets for reducing carbon emissions and enforces them with regulations. Naturally, the global climate elites cheered because, well, their jobs are secure.
“There are other oddities as well. After months of trashing the Trump White House over its handling of the pandemic and the vaccine, Biden said Friday ‘there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.’ Lowering expectations is an old political trick, but his comment reflects a defeatist concession that can only deepen the nation’s funk. Similarly, he said in his inaugural that America is both a great nation and systemically racist, which is hardly an uplifting message to a broad public. Then again, if you’re only appealing to wok-esters and racial arsonists, the seeming incoherence makes sense…” Goodwin calls it right. Democrats say “unity”, but continue their vicious campaign to grab raw power at any cost. Most Americans are not oblivious to the hypocrisy.
