Imagine that there's a family that has been impacted by an abusive relationship. Imagine that the husband who was abusive had managed to fool almost half the family that he was a good guy, and that part of the family sided against the wife who was abused. Imagine that many people in the extended family sided with the husband when the wife left him... that they blamed her for being divisive and causing trouble.
That family NEEDS to come together.
But the way they need to come together is to unite behind the wife, the survivor of the abuse, the one who was strong enough to leave the abuser. The way for that family to unite is to condemn the abuser.
We can't "unify" if part of the family is ignoring the abuse. If part of the family is still siding with the abuser.
Unity IS important and for that family to be healed and made whole, it will come only when they all stand united against the abuse.
In our nation, we have a unique opportunity to start over, to move past the destructive and corrupt years of the Trump presidency. We ARE a divided nation and we need to find ways to unite.
But that unity can't come at the expense of ignoring the abuse.
Right now, today, it appears that a majority of the Republicans in the Senate are poised to refuse to hold the abuser, Trump, accountable for his clear and awful actions, his ongoing active divisiveness. And those Republican Senators who refuse to acknowledge Trump's culpability in his crimes and sedition are not going to listen to the Democrats, Independents, the liberals and the moderates in our calls for them to do the right thing.
But, right now, today, conservatives across the country, YOU all have the chance to unite the nation. You can do that by making all the calls you can to your GOP Senators to demand that they vote to convict Trump of the charge against him.
We stand ready to unite, but you all (conservatives) are the ones with the power to make it happen. Denouce Trump's actions. Insist that Trump is held accountable by the Senate.
Over half the nation is already united. Democrats and Republicans and former Republicans (who've left the party because of Trump)... conservatives, moderates and liberals and wild-eyed radicals... church-goers, atheists, gun-owners, environmentalists, black and white... over half the nation IS united.
Join us.
