Letter to the editor: A Trump cult? I don’t think so

Posted

Responding to Kai Lee’s recent letter where she defines the Republican Party as a “Trump cult:”  I would appreciate some examples of her accusations. Having over 10 people running in the Republican primary doesn’t sound like cult devotion to Trump alone.

She talks about voting for freedom, rule of law, fairness and equality. I’m reminded of the unspeakable destruction of freedoms, fairness and equal treatment of citizens over the past three years by the Democratic establishment with threats and follow-through with job losses, closing of businesses, etc., if Americans refused to take a shot that was never adequately tested. 

The Democrats demanded unyielding obedience with the shots — that is an example of controlling “health care.” I’m not sure what her definition of the “rule of law” is when we have a border that is wide open allowing for 85,000 children who have come in illegally and unlawfully and have now disappeared into the U.S. — presumably sold into sex trafficking — not to mention drug lords, cartels and thousands from every possible country and no vetting of who they are. That’s my definition of “lawlessness.” It’s lawlessness that allows for illegal entry vs. those who follow the law and wait for years to enter as citizens.

Many don’t think it’s “fair” to force children to learn about sexual activities that deny them innocence. Our Democratic Justice Department calls parents terrorists who question that kind of exposure. I call that “hate” speech by Democrats.

The Democratic Party has systematically removed protections of innocent citizens by sending the FBI to do early morning raids against people who simply disagree with the issue of abortion by walking in front of abortion clinics, praying and speaking to pregnant women, etc.



Different laws for different folks? The Democrat Justice Department allows Hunter Biden to get a slap on the wrist while anyone else who breaks the number of laws he broke would certainly be indicted, prosecuted, imprisoned or worse. I don’t call that “fairness and equality.”  I’m thinking of the hate that Axios is reporting that Democratic President Joe Biden in the White House yells at subordinates.

From what I see, it appears the Democratic Party is the party of hate, discrimination, lawlessness, inequality and lack of fairness. My view of a “vote for America” is to allow freedom of choice regarding our health care and what we put in our bodies, undoing the countless regulations that burden small businesses, less government intrusion into our lives, a media that reports both sides of an issue and allows for debate, and an education system that wants to work with parents rather than against them. 

The Republican Party appears to embrace more of these views than the Democrats.
