Letter: Republicans aren’t thinking

By George Thomas, Vancouver
Published: August 6, 2021, 6:00am

Let’s think this through a little bit. Fifty-six percent of Republicans think they’ll need violence to restore “traditional America”? By that, I assume they mean they’ll have to overturn the will of the majority (i.e. cancel the vote and the right to vote) in order to return to a traditional America. I think that means Republicans, and only Republicans, will decide what traditional America is and who can vote in order to maintain a traditional America, because as soon as they restore the vote, how will they control traditional America?

I think their plan is for an America run by a dictatorship of the Republican Party. What’s traditional about that? Conclusion of thinking? Fifty percent of the Republican Party are unable to think anything through to a reasonable conclusion.
