Letter: Vote out the Republicans – Concord Monitor

Published: 10/23/2020 12:01:39 AM

On Nov. 3, I will be voting in my 12th presidential election. All of the last 11 were important, but this year my voting is even more imperative. This year we will determine what kind of country we will leave our children and grandchildren.

Since the election of Donald Trump, our allies no longer trust us. Russia is placing a bounty on the heads of American soldiers. Americans that have died or wounded in the service of their country are called suckers and losers. We have withdrawn support for international agreements.

Instead of living up to our agreements and defending our troops, when Putin interferes with our election, Trump praises him. He admires brutal dictators like Kim Jong-un.

Trump has attacked Social Security. The Republicans have passed a tax cut favoring the wealthiest Americans, which created a huge deficit, increasing our national debt. There is a slow dismantling of the Affordable Care Act. While many Americans cannot pay the rent or put food on their table, the Republican Senate refuses to help them. There are weekly revelations of a new scandal and corruption. We are watching an attempt to undermine our electoral system. Because of Trumps incompetence, 225,000 Americans have died due to the coronavirus.

In the last three years, we have seen corruption, hypocrisy, and authoritarianism. As Patrick William Robertson once said, There are three things that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. This year the voters must show no mercy. Vote them out.
