If they don't want the country to be divided, they can start the ball rolling by publicly admitting that they lied about election fraud, that they did so for political purposes to rile up their base and in an attempt to weaken Joe Biden and to acknowledge that there was a free and fair election and that Joe Biden won. Until they do that they have a lot of nerve asking for anyone to not divide the country.
They lie and lie and lie. They have purposefully radicalized their base because they have found that a radicalized base votes. In the wake of the terrorist attack, they have not stopped trying to turn the conversation anti-liberal, drawing false equivalencies, and they are going on and on about any type of enforcement against the terrorists as government and industry being tools of the left. They won't ever stop their despicable tactics while they ask the rest of us to not legally defend ourselves.
Polls are basically indicating that 70-75% of people disapprove of the terrorist attack on the Capitol. 60-65% think they are effing criminals. 20% think it was awesome. So basically 65% think 20% are criminals or want to be.
We have a faction of White Supremacists and Q extremists who are total nut jobs and willing to support violence. They must be marginalized. But Republicans know they can't win elections without them, so they will placate and placate. So the job of marginalizing hate is up to us.
