Letter to the editor: Today's Democratic Party a far cry from Kennedy's party

Today’s Democratic Party is directed by lifetime, millionaire politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, non-elected Washington, D.C., bureaucrats and extreme progressive left-wing, woke socialists. In my opinion, it has become synonymous with open borders, sanctuary cities, defunding the police, weak leadership, poor schools, huge federal deficits, high prices inflation, antisemitism, pro-abortion, biological men in women’s sports and bathrooms, mandated electric cars, etc.

In order to regain their jobs and power, Democrats went so far as to weaponize the Department of Justice, FBI and IRS to remove President Donald Trump from office. This is a far cry from the working man’s law and order Democratic Party of President John F. Kennedy.

Today, many lifelong Democrats justify their loyal support of their party entirely by their personal hatred of Trump. Unfortunately there remains a core of loyal Democrats, mainstream media, opinion writers and Hollywood entertainers who overlook the lousy performance of the Democratic Party under Biden/Kamala Harris and buy into what I see as the misinformation and fake news of the legacy mainstream media.
