Is this the president you want?
To the Editor:
One only has to watch a GOP rally when the president is present to see and hear vicious, repeated lies, which draw the applause of the cult-like crowd. Such incitement has proven to be the national trigger for hatred and violence to run rampant. If you don't stand against such behavior, you have no sense of shame at all. Do your job, or forever hold your place in history as an enabler of the worst sort of behavior I’ve seen in my short 70 years.
This president may have picked up some polish in his many years, but it is a thin veneer covering an absolute lout, who comes out time and time again. It’s a matter of extensive record, just watch him in action at his rallies, easily found online, and judge for yourself if this is the kind of man you’d like to have in charge of America. Educate yourself, and make your choice. Vote as if it matters.
The Koch brothers, and all the rest of that dark money, wouldn’t be spending up to $400 million, if your vote didn’t matter. The GOP would not have engaged in gerrymandering and court-packing, if your vote didn’t matter. NCGOP wouldn’t be trying to pull a fast one with upcoming constitutional amendments, if your vote didn’t matter.
Don’t fall for the con. Educate yourselves. Turn out for good cause.
