I was astounded and saddened that over half the voters in our country chose for president a convicted felon who I feel has no belief in integrity, democracy or truth, acts like a 3-year-old, lies every time he opens his mouth, is a confirmed misogynist, cheats on his taxes and his wives, and incited a riot which caused injury and death to other Americans.

Many voters said their baffling choice was due to “the bad economy,” something Joe Biden inherited. Put the blame where it belongs. Trump essentially ignored covid until millions of people died, industry shut down and the economy tanked.

Trump seems to mistakenly believe he knows more than our country’s educated economists, most of whom agree that his proposed policies will increase prices, inflation and the national debt. Those who voted for him will get what they asked for. Unfortunately, those of us who voted for unity, democracy, reproductive rights and a chance for a better America will also get that vengeful dictator and people like Elon Musk and Robert Kennedy Jr. as policymakers.

God save America, because at this point, he’s the only one who can.
