I sympathize with a lot of your points but this is what you’re doing ITT:
Make the most toxic person in the world your party leader
His example encourages your voters to spread unprecedented amounts of hostility and lies for 8 years
Go on the internet and act super polite, as if you’ve done nothing wrong and the D’s are all crazy for not being nice to you anymore
R’s are never going to get any reconciliation until they at least admit to the shitstorm they’ve caused (and have just chosen to extend another 4 years). But I don’t see that happening on a party level. All they do is very occasionally say something like “both sides are getting too heated, let’s cool off a bit” which accepts no real responsibility and changes nothing.
Here is what you are doing. Pretending this is all about R’s and D’s, Trump and Biden but it’s not. It’s about regular people living decent maybe even good lives. The current administration did not deliver and lost the election. It’s that simple. You keep pretending like someone owes you an apology but no one owes you anything.
I agree with that too, US politics since Obama’s win has been “status quo” vs “desire for reform” and the D’s lost 2016/2024 by being on the wrong side. But you’re ignoring my entire comment and that’s a big factor in current attitudes as well. Winning the election on legit issues doesn’t mean you get a free pass for bad behavior.

We live in a democracy and the orange man won so apparently democracy disagrees with you. If they agreed then we would have had a different winner.
