To the editor: Did you see? Italy is repeating itself as people forget history. They just elected a woman right winger who was seen at CPAC and is supporting what Mussolini once did. They are not the only country going backwards.
We, under most Republicans, are going that route. What does it mean, hate of gays, Hispanics, blacks? Sounds familiar. Power to run the country without you, the voter, having a say. Like Hitler did. No elections anymore so Trump, Qanon, or whoever controls our government, will have the say on how government runs. Government no longer will have to run on making your life better as you will lose your rights to voting. Don’t think it can‘t happen here? Well since the 70’s the Republican party has been trying to slow, then get rid of, Social Security, healthcare for all, Medicare, etc. You paid into it.
They want to close the border, a fake as they are OK with cheap labor but it works as people fall for the spin. We need workers as many jobs people won’t do suck – picking crops, maids, etc. Vote for your needs, not a party. They want gas cars, not electric cars, but it will cost your health
from by products like carbon pollution. Once again people vote without being informed. e.g. Trump had zero experience but was able to profit, no wonder he likes Putin who gets paid a little over $100,000 a year but is the richest man in Russia and wants more power and more control of his people forcing them to fight.
But many are leaving Russia and some even broke their arms to avoid fighting a war Putin started. Trump has become a cult leader and many Qanon follow him. One Qanon father has killed his wife and kids and will kill for Trump. All because of what Qanon believes.
We must vote to protect our democracy and our rights to have a voice.
