Letter to the editor: The true threat to democracy
This post has made the rounds on social media:
“It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into ‘us’ and ‘them’ and calling on their supporters to harass ‘them.’ It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.”
This all started when Donald Trump “stole” the election from Hillary Clinton, who was clearly supposed to win. Remember the “resist” movement by Democrats when Republican politicians couldn’t even go out to dinner without abuse?
This is the true threat to democracy.
