Letter to the editor: Republican Party campaigning on message of fear, division – Press Herald

A registered Republican in Maines 1st Congressional District, I recently received a solicitation letter and survey from the Republican National Committee.

Each is an affront to truth and the American way. They are culture war documents designed to seed fear, hate and division. Each ignores Jan 6. Republicans use AR-15s in their advertising, resort to personal threats and issue calls for armed rebellion. They deliberately spread conspiracy theories to stir the pot of MAGA hatred.

There were no proposals to lift up those left behind or unheard, address affordable health care and drug prices, well-paying jobs, affordable housing, improve public education, a healthy economy, fair taxation, responsible gun control, our environment or being a responsible global citizen. The documents are designed to spread falsehoods and generate fear, division and money.

Donald Trump is an affront to decency, truth and moral order, a bully and a coward driven by personal interests, greed and power. We have witnessed the vitriol, hate and uninterrupted lies as he attacks anyone with courage to call him out.

You can paint every elected Republican who fails to hold him accountable for his actions and words or supports the big lie with the same brush, especially those now attacking the Department of Justice, the FBI and the IRS. They dishonor their country and oath of office. I cannot believe this is happening in America. Then I see former Gov. Paul LePage casting doubt over voting in our towns and cities.
