Letter to the editor: Hatred for Trump muddies rational thought

As the Dems have methodically erased one low bar after another regarding candidate viability, whether it’s being fine with Sen. John Fetterman’s stroke or President Biden’s obvious mental issues or age, or Kamala Harris’ undemocratic ascent to her current station, attained without a single vote and 14 million disenfranchised voters in the wake of her palace coup, it’s unremarkable that the party has chosen war, big corporations and authoritarian goonery as their platforms.

If you haven’t read “1984,” you’d better get on it. I don’t know what kind of Nostrodamus DNA George Orwell had coursing through his veins, but his depiction of the dystopian Big Brother oppression and thought control the modern Democratic Party is efforting is chilling and throws into sharp relief the very world you’ll engage when you walk out your door this sunny September morning.

For the scant few liberals who may be reading this, I ask you this: Are you really better off now than you were under the Trump presidency? Is there anything about our country, because that’s what this is about, that’s better than it was under President Trump? Or will you allow your party-driven fear and hatred for a guy, who by the way isn’t even that conservative, to steer your thinking away from the clear, calm waters of rational thought and into the turbulent, muddy class five rapids of emotion?
