Letter to the editor: How far will Republican cult go?

Unwilling to admit that Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, unsupportive of efforts to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection, and seemingly unable to differentiate between truth and lies, the cult which has hijacked the once-respected Republican Party has dusted off the Jim Crow playbook used by southern Democrats decades ago, and now works to enact laws that will suppress voting by people of color and others in future election.

As I voted by mail, I wondered how long before they will target me. If the cult’s supporters examine lists of financial contributions, check out lawn signs or read letters to this newspaper, I’m easily identified as a card-carrying liberal. They know that I don’t support their spineless, lying ilk. Is there a target on my back?

Will some Trump toady (think Rep. Guy Reschenthaler) propose a law that a lawn sign is the same as a vote? Or that making an in-kind or financial contribution forfeits the right to cast a ballot? Sound far-fetched? So does prohibiting people from giving a bottle of water or slice of pizza to a person waiting in line to vote. But the cult has already gone down that road in Georgia. I guess that is what happens from drinking too much Kool-Aid.
