We can't pretend that we can ever "put all this behind us". These people that enabled Trump are still in office. There can be no cooperating with them.
Half the nation still supports fascism and we very nearly became a dictatorship. Make no mistake, THAT is what Trump was attempting to do here. When Biden is in office, even assuming every last thing Trump did is undone, we will be the same nation we were in 2016. We can STILL elect another Trump, or even Trump himself, four years from now. This isn't over. It's only just starting, and please oh please if you claim we have to concede and reach across the aisle to "heal", I'm not listening. I'm done hearing that, for the rest of my life. "Reaching across the aisle" is what got us to this place.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
