Unity.

[Speedwell]

Well, considering that he is also giving speeches calling conservatives white supremacists, it seems that we are supposed to unify around pushing the left agenda.

Is he calling conservatives white supremacists, or only conservatives who are white supremacists?

WWIII?

Well, how about a worldwide pandemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans (and far more in the rest of the world) and its attendant economic problems? The pandemic was Trump's moment to shine as a leader, but instead, he pulled us out of WHO, denied the severity of the problem, disdained common sense measures to contain it (masks, social distancing and contact tracing), touted measures not supported by science, appointed people who know nothing about epidemiology (Azar, Pence, Kushner) to lead the response and fomented distrust towards actual scientists and doctors.

On the bright side, he did get more respirators into use and he did encourage the vaccine development (although the US was not the first to get it done).

As to the OP, unity cannot be unilateral. If the other side is adamant about opposing every action, there is not much that can be done.

What speech was that? Is that what he actually did or is this a resentful misattribution?

Biden has called for unity. What are we to unify around, and why?

There is one thing we all have in common, the pandemic. Let's unify to eradicate.

Good for you. Use your own material.

That was a 100% GoldenBoy original.

Won't work. Not when a large part of the population are sincerely convinced that eradication steps are really part of a conspiracy to prepare us for an atheistic socialist takeover.

In order for there to be unity, the Right would have to acknowledge that they are not the only real Americans, the only real Christians, the only true patriots. I don't think that's possible.

 

[driewerf]

Whatever Biden's agenda happens to be, natch!

That's all he means when he talks about "unity"-- do everything the way the radical wing of his party wants it done, and we'll all be on the same page, right?

That's how he, Biden, got to be where he is today--do what Bernie, AOC, Pelosi, and the other members of that wing of the party want done and, in return, he'll get to be their nominee. If he had not agreed to that kind of "unity," he wouldn't be in any position now to tell the rest of the country to fall in line like he did.

You didn't use the word "demonrat". So not everything is lost, I think.

I don't use that term, and you are more than welcome to commend me for having better manners than some of the people who've talked that way on a daily basis when lambasting President Trump.

People who lambast former president Trump use the word "Demonrat"?

No. Theirs are far more vulgar and insulting, but it's the same sort of thing.

Covid has divided the nation. WWI and WWII unified it.

Democrats don't want unity...they want obedience. Although I am curious as to how Biden is going to get the over 50 million Americans who believe he is an illegitimate president to support him? If you think Trump had it bad, Biden is in real trouble.

agreed. We should be unified but it wont happen. We only getting more divided and thats sad to see but it is what it is.

Democrats are the devil and republicans are angels.
And vice versa . There will be no unity . People to caught up in nonsensical political party alliances

 

[DaisyDay]

Covid has divided the nation. WWI and WWII unified it.

Because certain people and factions decided to make the response political rather than national. This was Trump's greatest failure.

The nation was divided long before this.

 

[DaisyDay]

The nation was divided long before this.

Nevertheless, that was the opportunity for Trump to rally the nation to defeat the disease. Instead, well, we all know what he did and it's a shame.

The basic 'unity' that is best is to love our neighbors (and not be in some manner fighting our neighbors). And living at peace with them (Romans 12:18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.).

Christians can have help for this very thing as we pray the Lord's prayer, which helps us to be led out of temptations, and to be delivered out of evils. We need only ask, by praying.
