Letter to the editor: Don’t be bamboozled by the enemy within

The MAGA GOP under President Trump is great at blaming others for what they are doing: weaponizing government and indoctrinating radically. What about MAGA’s antagonistic relationship with the mainstream and public news media? What about pardoning criminals? What about abuse of power and lawlessness?

Who would ever think that the GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” would raise the national debt, not decrease it? What do you value more — personal wealth, corporate profits and control over others, or core American values taught in school, in church and at home?

Too many in the GOP are falling in line with Trump due to fear of what he will do if they question or don’t agree with him. Welcome to life under the unhinged, untrustworthy, corrupt government run by a radical right that wants to control you and disregard your differing viewpoints.

It’s time to wake up and demand better. It’s time to flood the MAGA GOP with calls and emails and to attend town hall meetings, but be aware that attending may be difficult since many GOP representatives now fear holding such meetings. Don’t be “Bamboozled By the BS” of the hyper-partisan enemy within — the radical right lunatics.
