DEAR EDITOR:

Every Saturday’s letters to the editor remind us how Trump is a dictator, a destroyer of our Republic and a Hitler. I thought we just had an election and the majority wanted Trump to decrease the size of Government while eliminating fraud and waste.

There are no plans to cut Medicaid or Social Security. Apparently elections are only legitimate if the Democrat wins. We have a $32 trillion debt that is expanding rapidly which, if not controlled, will destroy this Republic. History is full of great nations that were destroyed by debt. If the dollar collapses, you won’t have to worry about benefits being cut. There won’t be any money to be mailed out.

What I fail to understand is why these individuals are happy about being lied to over the past five years. The mainstream media, news and entertainment, along with the Democrat Party, lied about COVID and the cognitive decline of Joe Biden.

The government’s orthodoxy was plainly misguided. The party of science criticized and persecuted those who followed real science while trying to show a better way to handle the pandemic. As for Biden, just go back to 2020 and observe his gait. It was robotic and not normal. He stayed in the basement and did not campaign much. He made sure we were not aware of his condition. We all observed his decline over the next four years, yet we were told until July 2024 that Biden was sharp as a tack and ran rings around the White House staff.

How can you still trust any in the media, who kept lying? Insiders are now writing books telling us about the decline of Biden. Yet not one told us this when it counted. They put our nation at great risk, all because of their lust for power and control. These are the real tyrants, and you are the foolish who still believe them.
