The profound hypocrisy evinced in the letter “Democrats are poor losers” (Dec. 4, TribLive) is more than I can bear without responding. Who was it that refused to admit he’d lost the 2020 election? Who was it that tried to steal the election? Who was it that insisted he’d won despite it being thrown out of more than 60 courts for lack of evidence, often by Donald Trump-appointed judges? Isn’t it amazing how all the talk of voter fraud and rigged elections has stopped so suddenly? Just like that!
As for the second half of the letter, the writer complains that the Democrats will try to fight the things Trump wants to do. But isn’t that what Republicans do when Democrats are in office? It’s called the opposition party.
If Trump has a free hand (and he will), we will be in a dictatorship, run by and for the rich and corporations. Another $8.7 trillion to the national debt with more tax cuts for the rich? I doubt he’ll care — he doesn’t have to pay it off; our children will.
His cabinet picks, in my opinion, are completely unqualified; their only qualification is that they be loyal to the dictator. RFK, a conspiracy theorist with no medical background, in charge of Health and Human Services? Say hello to polio and other diseases that were wiped out by the vaccines he doesn’t approve of. And Pete Hegseth? Don’t get me started.
We have some scary times ahead, and I’m sure there will be a lot of voter remorse.
