Letter: Trump acts irrationally

By Dan McQueen, Vancouver

As a lifelong Republican voter and senior citizen, the three-ring circus of denial, prevarication and downright idiocy surrounding the presidential election leaves me baffled.

Did the Biden-Harris ticket steal the election through chicanery and fraud? Absolutely not! Despite the volume of the Trump camp’s claims of “massive voter fraud” there is not a shred of evidence that the past election was anything other than one of the most secure in American history.

President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and the rest of the traveling circus are more than willing to throw our democratic traditions under the bus in an irrational bid to deny defeat until they win. Their attempts are offensive to me. I voted for Trump, but in the post-election period, he is fully earning his reputation as the most polarizing president in our history. In presidential elections the candidate with the most electoral votes over 270 wins. Period.

You lost Mr. Trump, fair and square by any metric you choose. Pick up your marbles and go home. Your baseless claims and continuous invective sowing doubt about the integrity of our traditions in a completely self-serving display is shameful. To my fellow Republicans I would say just one thing: Stop drinking Trump’s Kool-Aid.
