Letter to the editor: Flawed champion of bigots
A war was fought. They were almost socially eradicated. But like a mutated cell they did not die and now they metastasize with a new host, the president.
Once again Americans are divided. But in place of Abraham Lincoln, we have Donald Trump. The contrast is almost total. The danger rises. The champion of bigotry adds to the confusion by embracing a sworn enemy — Russia.
Hopefully the bigots will realize that they have a flawed champion in the president. He parallels past and current dictators. The common thread of a bogeyman, to blame for the ills of the bigots, breeds his envy for their power.
