I not so sure unity is really that important. Have we ever, for long periods of time, been really unified? How long did "unity" last after 9/11? I remember after seeing that thinking things were really gonna change, we gotta come together and figure this stuff out. Not much did at the end of the day, except the government took more control. We have always had major disagreements. If you know about Presidential elections in the past, they got real dirty. In 1828, the opposition to Andrew Jackson ran stories pretty much calling Jackson's wife a *****, because they claimed she wasn't officially divorced when she wed Jackson. We fought a Civil War. There has been opposition to every war we ever fought, even the "good" ones. I think part of what makes us unique is our ability to disagree but maintain as a country...up till now, anyway.
One thing that concerns me is everyone will get all caught up in this unity thing, which really means that Trump better play nice, but no one else will have to. Also, this unity thing is convenient to avoid some real questions that need to be asked. And answered. The whole thing seems fishy, how this kid could be up there and nobody did anything, yet after he fired, they killed him in seconds. To me it seems like it can only be a set-up or gross incompetence. But if this kid isn't a patsy, remember, he went through the stupid asss Covid lockdowns of schools. What impact did or did not that have? What, if any, meds was this kid on throughout his young life? Studies are showing the impact Ritalin and Aderall, for example, are having on these kids, and it isn't good. The stupid gender crap. It's endless and they are relentless. I am so glad I am in my late 50s. I wouldn't want to be a 20 year old young man in today's society. We were allowed to be boys yet in my youth and do the stuff boys do, within the law.
But will those questions get asked? Or will all the powers that be just run around yelling unity to shut people up from questioning?
