Here's the thing about all these calls for "unity" and "moving on" coming from Republicans in the house -
The people who tried to OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT aren't going to "move on". They aren't going to "unify". They are going to keep trying until they succeed in a coup.

Like, forget the fact that I don't particularly want to unify with fascists. The bottom line is that the fascists don't want to unify with me. They want to kill me. That's why they're erecting giant crosses and gallows in front of the capitol.
You don't stop a fascist uprising by making conciliatory noises and suggesting group hugs. You stop a fascist uprising by putting it down, quickly and completely. That means consequences. It means action. It means a resolute refusal to allow them to recruit and organize.
Calls to "move past" the fact that a lynch mob, incited by the lies of the sitting President and his collaborators, rampaged through the Capitol last week are nothing less than calls for surrender to that mob.
