Letter: Democrats are desperate

By Roy Schimelpfenig, Vancouver

Progressive hatred for President Donald Trump is in full bloom. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said of Trump, “He will imprison, he will execute whoever he is allowed …” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker compares Trump and MAGA to the Germans of 1930. Joe Biden called for us all to come together, again, on Thanksgiving. But afterward he always claims Republicans are the extremists. Hillary Clinton’s hatred for “deplorable” Republicans has not ebbed. She now says we must be “deprogrammed,” that we “hate migrants, gay people, black people.”

We don’t hate migrants, gays, blacks or even Hillary. We hate that freedom is being erased by an elitist party that inserts itself above the true government, “we the people.” Dems are desperate. All the phony indictments against Trump are meant to keep him from campaigning and, maybe, jail Biden’s No. 1 opponent. How else can Joe win, without election interference? Their lies keep us divided and demoralized.

Living in fear is the objective, while under their control. Trump has withstood eight years of this persecution. Who else can stand up for the people and not succumb to liberal hatred? The blossoms are wilting. It is time to trim them.
