Letter to the editor: Trump's victory shows rejection of Democrats' ways

Donald Trump’s victory is certainly a tribute to the incredible determination, stamina and hard work of Trump and many of his family members and staffers who never stopped believing and never stopped working to get a record number of Americans out to vote. Their adoption of the early voting systems and their recruitment of over 200,000 volunteers and lawyers showed their excellent organizational and operational skills, and their ad campaign proved they understood the real issue, which, in my opinion, was all about American exceptionalism vs. socialism.

The overwhelming results prove to me Americans have vehemently rejected the Democrats’ march to total government control of every aspect of their lives through the imposition of overbearing regulation, mandates and policies such as DEI, woke initiatives, ESG, pro-criminal, pro-illegal and anti- family rules that undermine traditional American ideals of merit-based success and freedom from government-controlled everything.

And this election is also a repudiation of the Democrats and their left-wing media’s anti-conservative bias and daily insults. Conservatives are not Nazis, or racists, or haters, and we are not “garbage.”

The mainstream media and the Democratic Party have become the least credible institutions in the country and neither will recover until they repudiate their pro- socialist ideology and adopt pro-American ideals. But I doubt either understands their own cancerous afflictions, and therefore will simply become insignificant irritations against making America great again.
