Not that I'd kick anyone when they are down, but if they tripped over their own shoes and blamed others, I'd giggle when I observe them holding others to a higher standard of unity and civility than they hold themselves to (see below for partial list of "unifying" rhetoric)... and then rationalize their behavior as righteous.
"we've been getting told by the Clinton campaign..."
"She won't get a dime, or a second in campaigning from me..."
"are Democrats gonna start saying climate change doesn't exist too?"
"I get to watch a new era of political correctness..."
