Earlier than tweeting about her “olive department,” Milano was only one in a military of liberal celebrities continuously calling Trump supporters and anybody else who disagrees with them racist, xenophobic, and so forth. There was no real interest in listening to any opposing viewpoints. This context is much more telling than the rejections of requires unity.

“The pink MAGA hat is the brand new white hood. With out white boys with the ability to empathize with different folks, humanity will proceed to destroy itself,” she wrote final yr. 

In one other tweet that was despatched out lower than a month earlier than a name to maneuver ahead “collectively,” she made her emotions about Republicans crystal clear. 

“F**okay Republicans. Vote all of them out. They don’t care about your loved ones or serving to you place meals on the desk. All they care about is energy and cash,” she wrote.

Even worse, lower than 48 hours after this oh-so gracious “olive department” was provided to those that couldn’t carry themselves to vote for Biden, Milano was proper again to being…Milano.

“You’re not stunned that Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, are you? C’mon. He’s going to pardon all these a**holes,” she tweeted. 

Are you able to odor the unity within the air but? Assume an “olive department” would have been provided if it seemed like Trump was strolling away with a victory?

The requires unity from celebrities who’ve spent years refusing to hearken to anybody aside from those that agree with their most excessive viewpoints are as empty as these from Biden. He could play good for the time being, but additionally lashes out at any reporter who dares to ask him an actual query, questions black voters who dare not assist him, and even in contrast his opponent to notorious Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

The issue with these cries for unity – past the truth that they arrive from folks whose actions don’t match their pleas – is that there is no such thing as a turning again time. Simply take a look at the rejections to even hole pleas for unity from people like Milano and Perry. You see a mob of voters with no real interest in any type of compromise with a voting bloc they determined way back was the acute, white supremacist, misogynistic stereotype leftist politicians and the mainstream media have tried to promote us in an effort to make Trump match the dictator mould they constructed for him.

There isn’t a shifting away from this deep political division that has put its hand across the nation’s throat as a result of the very folks calling for an finish to it in a single breath, like Milano, flip round and feed into it the following. 

Don’t belief any celebrities, politicians, or speaking heads paying lip service to Biden’s momentary “unity” tone. They’re all hole. Trump supporters and anybody not totally aligned with essentially the most excessive rhetoric of the Democrat Celebration will proceed to be smeared and painted as evil, simply because the case has been for the previous 4 years. The tone has been set and regardless of who’s within the White Home, liberals have no real interest in recalibrating their technique of smearing and attacking anybody and everybody who dares to disagree with them.
