Letter: A fight for our nation’s soul

Donald Trump began his presidency amid dark politics. Power-hungry radicals called him a Russian agent and biased media aired the falsehoods. An investigation was a costly bust. Every House Democrat wanted to impeach him anyway and did so with opinions.

Was it accidental that a killer virus was then released on the world? With the ensuing pandemic governors and mayors honed their progressive skills. They did nothing when anarchists burned businesses last spring. Riots were allowed to persist for months. Profanity-laced harassment still continues. Leftists shut down small businesses and interfered with Thanksgiving.

This virus has worked well, politically speaking, for the cancel culture. Their arrogance promotes a “woke” society that cancels everything they hate. Even Big Tech, social and mainstream media gleefully censor conservative opinions and civil rights.

Weary Joe Biden is correct about one thing. This fight is for our nation’s soul. I believe politicians and journalists have lied and cheated for four years to steal an election. It is all up to the state of Georgia now. Will we live free or be destroyed by radical socialists that killed the Democratic Party?
