She can take her olive branch and shove it
I’d like to extend an olive branch to Trump supporters.
I am ready to move #ForwardTogether.
There’s so much work to do to heal the nation. Let’s be a part of the solution and not add to the problems we face.
My comments are open. Please reply with #ForwardTogether. ❤️

Translation:
“We won the election under dubious circumstances and we don’t want you to resist us the way we resisted and insulted you for the last four years. We are making a show of offering you an olive branch so that when you do resist, we can use it as a brickbat to say how you are being unreasonable and petulant for not coming together and peacefully acquiescing to our demands.”
This is totally transparent.
Republican wins: “Resist!”
Democrat wins: “We want unity.”
I wasn’t born yesterday so I remember the anti-Bush rallies and marches during the GW Bush administration. I remember the political cartoons and protest signs of Bush wearing a swastika and Hitler mustache and the Left saying he was a Nazi. I remember when “dissent was the highest form of patriotism.”
I also remember when Obama won and continued and got more aggressive on Bush policies about domestic surveillance how we were expected to come together under the “great unifier.” I remember how dissent went from the highest form of patriotism to abject treason. It happened precisely at 12:01 PM, Tuesday, January 20th, 2009.
With Biden’s inauguration, this will be the fourth time this flip-flop has happened in my adult lifetime.
We know the olive branch is phony.
No, thanks! I won’t do that until Trump and his enablers are in jail. After that, I’ll try to forgive Trump supporters, and to educate them.

The guy with the socialist rose emoji in his Twitter handle, and “passionate Democratic Socialist” and “He/Him” in his Twitter bio. He is going to educate us on why we are bad people for supporting Trump.
Right…
I’ve seen many replies or sentiments like this: I’ll extend the olive branch once I’m done beating these people into submission.
That’s not an olive branch.
All these people can take their olive branch and shove it up their ass.
