After Trump’s Victory, There Can Be No Unity Without A Reckoning
We can’t just say ‘Oh well we’re all Americans in the end’ and pretend that everything is okay. Everything is not okay.

Back in July after the first Trump assassination attempt, I
wrote that there can be no national unity, no burying the hatchet or cooling the rhetoric with people who have been encouraging political violence and pushing assassination prep for years. You can’t smack someone in the face with a hammer and then insist everyone calm down.
Trump’s election victory doesn’t change that. Those in the news media who spent years calling Trump a fascist and comparing him to Hitler, claiming he represents a threat to democracy and that he’ll use his presidential powers to go after his enemies, should not be forgiven. Their lies and nonstop propaganda should not be forgotten. No one should ever take them seriously again. When they try to engage the public square, they should either be ignored entirely or met with a wall of mockery and derision. They are enemies of the American people, whom they openly despise, and there can be no real unity with them no matter what they might say in the future.

Legacy media outlets, the polling industry, the Democrat-funded nonprofits and the academics and activists who run them have all now been exposed as cogs in a giant propaganda machine. Kamala Harris was never ahead. She never had a chance of winning. There was no “joy.” She wasn’t “brat.” She didn’t even win the Democrat Party nomination, it was handed to her in a backroom deal. She isn’t relatable or cool, she’s the most cringey and fake person ever to run for president. Corporate media and the Democrats ran a massive psy-op on the American people to make them believe something that wasn’t true. And it failed. We should never forget that these people will say anything for the sake of power, so we should never trust them again.
For the government officials and institutions who tried to bankrupt and jail Trump, there should be more severe and formal consequences. On Wednesday it was reported that the Justice Department will be
dismissing Special Counsel Jack Smith and dropping his cases against Trump before Trump takes office. That’s great, but Smith should not be allowed to simply walk away. He and everyone else at Biden’s DOJ who was involved in these lawfare cases against Trump needs to be investigated a~Smipnd held accountable for their actions.

The idea that we should just forget all that now for the sake of unity is deeply misguided and naïve. If those responsible aren’t held accountable, they will never stop trying to destroy their enemies by any means they can. Before we ever achieve anything like unity in America again, there must be a reckoning and there must be justice. Without those things, the divisions in our country won’t be able to heal.

After those who broke the law are held accountable, and those who lied are ostracized and ignored, we will still face the problem of disunity and division among our people. We will still be two nations occupying the same territory, with two irreconcilable visions of what the country should be. We can’t paper over those differences, and we shouldn’t.
To achieve real and lasting unity we’ll need a counter-revolution in America, a re-founding of the country. That in turn will require a conversion of the American people and a return to the ideals, principles, and way of life that made our republic possible in the first place.
Commentary:
Exactly. All of those - especially those in government - who broke the law need to be arrested, indicted for sedition and throw in prison. There is no moving on without the reckoning. Everybody needs to be made to understand you can’t get away with the crimes they committed.
I get tired of ignorant morons telling us we need to “reach out to them” and “share the government” with them after they have trampled us, called us names, and used false charges to persecute Americans and Lawfare against their percieved enemies, for the last four years.
There can
NEVER be any reconciliation between those who believe in and want to abide by the US Constitution, and the Meo-Marxist Left.
It can't be done, because the right supports freedom of speech, free elections, rule of law, strict immigration laws, and equality under the law.
Though we on the right have kidded ourselves that the left was just another version of Loyal Americans, unfortunately for them, they are not.
They can never be REAL Americans unless they assent to the Constitution, to our laws, and loyalty to our duly elected leaders.
They show NO sign of doing that.
