Why does “move the country forward” always mean “let Republicans get away with being criminals and shitheads?”
"Look, the only way we're going to heal as a nation is if we suffer no consequences and you continually let us get away with crimes."
"How are we going to heal as a nation, if we punish the South for rebelling?"
It’s funny how many confederates were caught during the Civil War - who then got to go home consequence-free almost immediately after promising to not fight for the south anymore.
Because that's what it's always meant for the last roughly 100 years. In the 1930s robber, barons and Republicans were caught out when their plot to overthrow FDR and stop the New deal was discovered. Guess what repercussions they suffered being found out as traitors. FDR cut a deal with the fascists in return for passing the New deal. Largely wiping the details of the incident from recorded history. Leaving just a whitewashed footnote. And one of the implicated businessmen punished particularly hard by nothing happening. Went on to become a senator and eventual father and grandfather of two different United States presidents.
Please note Prescott Bush was a major part of that plan, which ended up getting slow rolled in with his idiot son and grandson, Bush 1 and W.
