Dear Editor,

The Following quote is from The Atlantic’s endorsement of Joe Biden for president, dated 10-22-2020: “Trump has brought our country low; he has divided our people; he has pitted race against race; he has corrupted our democracy; he has shown contempt for American ideals; he has made cruelty a sacrament; he has provided comfort to propagators of hate; he has abandoned America’s allies; he has aligned himself with dictators; he has encouraged terrorism and mob violence; he has undermined the agencies and departments of government; he has despoiled the environment; he has opposed free speech; he has lied frenetically and evangelized for conspiracism; he has stolen children from their parents; he has made himself an advocate of a hostile foreign power; and he has failed to protect America from a ravaging virus. Trump is not responsible for all of the 220,000 COVID-19-related deaths in America. But through his avarice and ignorance and negligence and titanic incompetence, he has allowed tens of thousands of Americans to suffer and die, many alone, all needlessly. With each passing day, his presidency reaps more death.”

I could not have said it any better. I am CALLING OUT Republicans, tea partiers, and low-information Trump voters. HOW DARE YOU! You OWE the United States! Your elevation of this terribly flawed life form disgusts me. You are COMPLICIT in this man’s hatred, his Misogyny, his FACT-FREE denial of SCIENCE, his avarice, name calling, race baiting and COMPLETE IGNORANCE IN HOW TO BEHAVE LIKE A SANE, NORMAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY.

Republicans, as a whole, ride, every four years, a wave of lies and pandering being OH SO CONCERNED about taxes, abortion, guns, and the POOR OLD WHITE GUY. BOO HOO. You can’t see beyond your OWN FLAWED THINKING ,BEING held as SUCKERS, to a political establishment that wants only one thing. POWER. They use you for VOTES, reliably, like blind lemmings.

Trump has managed to leverage a 2nd rate TV show, and a TAX FREE real estate empire into the biggest SHAM of a PRESIDENCY in our country’s history. A bombastic snake oil salesman buoyed by his own narcissism, he has managed to convince evangelicals that he is religious, (he is not), “suburban women” that he loves you, (well, some parts) and old angry white men that he is your savior (nope). And, here we are, 9 months into a PANDEMIC that is killing over 1,000 a DAY, with no clear message or plan to help our country recover. He calls the LEADING RESEARCHER an IDIOT, yells “open em up” regarding the states, and chants “lock em up” referring to anyone real or otherwise that he can’t seem to get out of his rent free head. Can we PLEASE STOP THIS NOW!?

We, as Americans together, on November 3rd, can rid us of this cancer in a tweet, and hopefully get this country back on a path that will benefit all Americans, Blue or Red. WE have a CHOICE between one extremely flawed, TERRIBLE man and a GOOD, DECENT PUBLIC SERVANT, JOE BIDEN. We can get the country going in the RIGHT DIRECTION, with a focus on science with prosperity, and hopefully we can get over this pandemic without more unnecessary lives lost. There is a lot to do, and Trump and the Republican ‘’leaders’’ have PROVEN they are incapable of doing ANYTHING. Remember REPUBLICANS, THIS WAS IN TRUMP’S AMERICA! IT’S YOUR FAULT! HELP US OUT! HELP AMERICA OUT! REDEEM YOURSELVES!

VOTE JOE BIDEN and KAMALA HARRIS!

Sincerely,

Jerome J. Dembski,
