Many Republicans are simply not interested in unity. Unity isn’t just about the Democrats doing whatever to suit Republicans, and even that wouldn’t be good enough for them. We forever hear about what Democrats need to do to win over Republican voters, but never the other way round. Unity for many Republicans mean do as they want otherwise they’ll play the victim and cry about being ignored, and that’s not going to happen, nor should it. The world doesn’t revolve around them and if they cannot compromise and accept that then it’s not anyone else’s problem.
I mean Tucker Carlson gets 5.2 million viewers, largely Republican, and he peddles Great Replacement crap. Am I supposed to just ignore this and say such views should be just accepted and not criticised for unity, because it might hurt their feelings? No, that’s silly. It wouldn’t wash with Corbynites, it doesn’t wash here.
