Letter: Trump continues to undercut foundation of democracy
Published 3:00 am Wednesday, May 22, 2024
I would like to know before the election which Republican candidates are still supporting Donald Trump. There is no way I can support anyone who still supports the worst sport in the history of sportsmanship!
Trump continues to attack the institutions that have made this country strong over and over with lies and misinformation. He also continues to undercut the foundation of our democracy, which is the belief In the accuracy of the vote. All 50 states certified the 2020 election results, which is how we’ve always elected presidents until Donald came along.
The fact alone that he did not pass the torch along to the next president and tried everything he could think of to remain in power after the last election should be enough of a reason for even the most staunch Republican not to vote for that guy. I believe he poses a great threat to this country, whether he wins or loses the election. His actions after the last election shows that he cares nothing about the U.S. Constitution. My prediction is that he will try to create chaos and mistrust in the results once again. He deserves zero votes.
I think it’s time for people to vote country first, not party first. I would like to hear from all the Republican candidates in this area as to where they stand on Donald Trump and the 2020 election results. I hope there are at least one or two candidates out there who have integrity and some guts to speak the truth.
