They are taking it to mean Dems know they have no actual reason to hold a burning grudge or animus - WHILE THEY DO.
Stop. Fucking. Doing. That.
No, we absolutely don’t need to lead with hugs and olive branches.

Republicans stole the Supreme Court; looted the Treasury; corrupted the entirety of our federal government; and tried their very best to steal another four years.
We should be holding truth and reconciliation hearings.
Do not offer unity on our behalf. It is not yours to offer.
And it is horribly backfiring already.
There is only one set of offenders these past four year: Trump and his party.
We will make no peace and have unity absent justice.
There cannot be unity absent justice.
Don’t get us steamrolled by failing to grasp that.
4/4
Seriously, I can’t stress this enough:
People on the right are taking the talk about unity to mean Dems know they have nothing to be mad about while Repubs do.
It is amplifying their false belief they are victims.
It is doing the opposite of what it intends.

We all deal with stress and anxiety differently. I get calm when things gets crazy.
The more people around me freak out, the more I suspend emotion and anchor. That’s just my nature.

There are reasons for that. (Adult children of alcoholics, hello!)
And then, as I’m anchored against a rising wind, I feel the energy of others’ stress and anxiety intensely.
I am more stressed about others’ stress than about my own.

It is no fun to be intensely anxious. It isn’t fun to feel physically and emotionally overwrought.
There are a healthy number of people like myself who say calming, optimistic, positive things because while you may not need to hear them, some people do.
