Letter to the editor: Trump voters validated his criminal conduct
Share this post:
I wonder if the people who voted for Donald Trump understand that they have validated his criminal activity. You are saying that it was OK for him to illegally try to overturn an election he knows he lost. You have given the green light for him to try and subvert the Constitution again through the powers of the presidency.
You are saying that you had no problem with him instigating a violent insurrection that injured over 150 police officers and caused millions of dollars in damage. Now he wants to pardon those lawbreakers who pled guilty. You have just welcomed fascism to the United States.
I’m sure his fascist activity will continue once he takes office again. I wonder what you would think had a Democrat tried to do the same thing — stay in power by promoting chaos and violence through illegal means. I wonder if that would have been excused so easily by you and Republican lawmakers.
I will be curious to see how fast you believe the price of eggs and gasoline will drop once Jan. 21 comes. Put the blame for inflated costs where it belongs: corporate greed after low profits from covid conditions. Given the state the Biden administration was left with by Trump and a raging pandemic, the country has been on a slow, steady climb back to normal economically. Better than what Fox News would have you believe.
I don’t know if Kamala Harris would have been the perfect choice to lead the country. I just know she wouldn’t have been the worst. It will be here again.
