Letter: Stop looting by Trump, Musk

By David H. Milne, Lacey

We may never get another chance to vote Donald Trump and his MAGA stooges out of office. Trump, Elon Musk and the legislatures of red states will do everything they can to end elections, or at least “fix” them so the “winners” are always Republicans. Stay on guard for it. Urge our Democratic representatives in Congress and our state government to watch for election sabotage and fight it. In courts, most likely.

Trump/Musk will try to loot the Social Security and Medicaid programs to enrich themselves and pay for huge billionaire tax breaks. As an added benefit (to them), that will strip Americans of free time that they could be devoting to defending against the Trump/Musk wannabe dictatorship. When the Social Security benefits you paid for suddenly stop and/or you are suddenly unable to get urgently needed medical help because Medicaid is gone, how will you spend your time? Trying to find employment or financial help, or going to town halls to blast elected GOP collaborators?

See how Trump/Musk are sabotaging America now? There will be no stopping them in the future unless we save our free/fair election system and stop them from looting Social Security and Medicaid.
