Romney is right in my opinion. The nation should try to rally behind Biden and move forward together as a country. Pride, ego, anger and distrust will keep millions of people from wanting the country to heal and potentially have some semblance of unity in the coming years because Trump didn't win. You don't have to agree with every political policy or action that Biden takes as we move forward but at the same time he is not the enemy and that has to be a point in time where we let go of the anger of the past.
Romney is a pandering idiot in my opinion. You have yet to explain to us what the common ground is that we're supposed to "rally behind" The Usurper on, and what direction any of us agree is "forward". If you really think this is just pride, ego, anger, and distrust, then you're spending far too much time listening to the voices in your head saying, "Oh, you are SO mature and reasonable", and far too little time listening to the actual people you are presuming to lecture.
Don't you EVER get on your sanctimonious high horse and tell me "You don't want the country to heal because Trump didn't win" again. You have no idea what any of us are thinking. Give us a whole lot less vague sermonizing on the mistaken belief that anyone admires your moral leadership, and a whole lot more answering the questions.
What common ground do we have to "unify" on?
What constitutes "moving forward as a country"?
What the hell is The Usurper actually going to do that we're supposed to support, other than sit behind a desk and tell us he's the President? Because I'm afraid I can't "rally behind" him on just that basis.
On what basis do you get to declare that he's not the enemy? Who appointed you to decide that?
The "common ground" is our identity as Americans and not as conservative and progressive or republican and democrat. It's ok for there to be different opinions and different groups of opinions that form parties but when one side says the other side are fascists and the other side says that that side is hates America then at some point one side has to extend the olive branch in my opinion. Over the past four years no side or leader has made a sincere effort to do it, including Trump, in fact mostly over the past four years Trump has been telling Americans how corrupt and bad the government is and how corrupt and bad democrats are. With that over the past four years most democratic leadership has been talking about how dangerous Trump is and how divisive the GOP is.
The rhetoric and hyperbole is so intense and so high over the past four years that both sides are believing what they say about the other. Trump says things that makes villains/enemies out of his opponents which in turn makes his supporters view Trump's opponents as the enemy. On the flip side many democrats promote the notion that Trump is a fascists, he isn't, there are real examples of fascists to compare to and he's obviously not to that level, but nonetheless many push that narrative and people buy into it and view him as Hitler and his supporters as Nazis. Again, hyperbole to the max but people buy into it.
Biden is not the enemy, the press is not the enemy, conservatives are not the enemy, government in itself is not the enemy. If Biden is willing to dial back the intense rhetoric, hyperbole, and animosity that has been building the last four years then it should be embraced in my opinion. You can reluctantly embrace it, that's understandable, but if he is calling for unity then we as Americans should not be so quick to dismiss it the effort. That's all i'm trying to say.
