As it became apparent that Donald Trump was going to be reelected President a steady stream of Democrats and Leftwing commentators showed up on TV and social media to call for "unity." However, they weren't volunteering to unite behind the Trump agenda that a majority of American voters had just endorsed, far from it.
When Democrats call for "unity" in the wake of an overwhelming defeat, such as that which they suffered on November 5, 2024, they really mean two things: First, leave their agenda that voters just rejected alone; Second, don't investigate or punish their crimes and maladministration.
So, in the Democrats' concept of "unity" the southern border would remain open, billions of dollars would continue to flow to organizations facilitating the influx of illegal aliens into our country, the interests of our enemy, the Islamic Republic of Iran, would be served, while those of our ally Israel would be stymied, children would continue to be mutilated in the name of transgender ideology, tax dollars would flow to abortion providers, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion would continue to sap our military readiness, election integrity would continue to be undermined, and, the vast government surveillance apparatus would continue to be deployed against law-abiding Americans, to name but a few of the more egregious policies "unity" with Democrats would preserve.
"Unity" with Democrats would also prevent the Trump administration from investigating the many crimes and gross malfeasance of the Biden administration. Those responsible for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the opening of our border and the implementation of illegal programs to import millions of illegal aliens and fake "refugees," the illegal surveillance and censorship of law-abiding Americans, the vast waste of Biden's Green Energy programs, the COVID oppressions, the oppression of the J6 protestors and the many other oppressions and malfeasance of the Biden years would go uninvestigated and unpunished.
If the Democrats' idea of unity prevails DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas would leave government, pension intact, never having answered for the disaster at the southern border. General Kenneth McKenzie, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and various other Pentagon, State Department and White House officials would never have to face the families of those killed at Abbey Gate. The number and the chain of command of the FBI and intelligence operatives at the Capitol on January 6 would never be known, and the bad actors in the Biden-Harris Justice Department would, like Lois Lerner, walk out the door pensions intact to go to work for Leftwing organizations dedicated to destroying Donald Trump and stymieing his agenda.
You get the picture, there must be a reckoning before there can be unity.
Even with a reckoning, unity will be difficult. As John Daniel Davidson observed in a recent column for the Federalist, "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."
