Letter to the Editor: Dump Trump before it's too late for us all

Fellow Americans, you better wake up to the dangerous waters the Trump administration is leading us into.

In less than two years, he has exploded the national debt through a tax reform that mostly benefits the wealthy. Through this action and his emasculating of Obamacare, he has jeopardized the future of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Through his environmental deregulations, we no longer have the right to clean air and water. Through his denial of and inaction toward climate change, he has condemned our children and grandchildren to the effects of a warming planet.

By his erratic behavior and threats of withdrawal, he has weakened the global alliances that have kept the expansionist policies of Russia and China in check. His Supreme Court nominations and lifelong appointments of judges to lower courts threaten woman’s rights and the LGBTQ community. His crude, rude, lying behavior has demeaned the office of the presidency.

Is all this worth ignoring merely because the stock market continues to go up (a carryover trend from the Obama years)? Before it’s too late, we must dump Trump. His actions threaten our democracy.

It goes up one day or one week, then it's back down the next, so that's no longer a crutch for Russian sympathizing republitards.

At this point, there isn't much to boast about, except for the fact that tRump and his knuckle dragging followers are haters. They hate you and me. They hate their fellow American more than they like them and they find satisfaction in other people's misery, even if it means they have to suffer too. It's just bizarre behavior. But elections can change outcomes and we can turn the tables on them, show them that we have more in common that brings us together than what divides us, unlike what Fox tells them on a daily basis.

There is hope, but we have to vote these conservative bums out.

We're talking about letters-to-the-editor in my Indivisible group.

Just look at all the important and relevant points made in this one, aside from Russia!

If I wrote something like that, I might throw that in, too. A brief mention.
