To the editor:
The 2020 midterm elections had the potential to resolve the present political and radical progressive insanity of the un-American progressive ideals presently being force fed to us "common sensed" Americans who are not supportive of them.
The progressive, woke sector of the Democratic Party has hijacked the Democratic Party as we once knew it.
Many Americans, especially residing in our larger liberal American cities, have been touched in many negative ways by the many Biden administration's and its allies' radical, progressive ideals. Those of us who are lucky enough to reside in the more conservative, rural areas are, as of now, kind of less noticeable of these ideals.
These radical, progressive ideals are widely on display in the big, liberal metropolitan areas in America. Some of those ideals are the woke culture, sexual and gender identity in their educational systems, defunding of the police forces and their D.A.'s ridiculous, immediate release of known dangerous criminals, the lack of police force on their dangerous streets and transit systems, and the wide-open southern border which has allowed illegal passage of up to 2 million criminals just this year.
Ironically, there have been hundreds of these illegals perish this year along with as many as 85 individuals on the terror watch list being captured. Reflecting back, were the Trump cages -- whoops, Obama's -- more inhuman than dying?
We in rural America have not experienced these big city insane progressive policies yet. But remember, water runs downhill, so to as to crime, take a few seconds and try to measure that statement.
What negative policies we "country bumpkins" have experienced are mostly economical inflationary hardships placed upon us by the Biden administration's worst federal economic policies since World War II. All Americans are feeling the extremely high prices of gas, diesel fuel, fuel oil, propane gas, all the food and items at the grocery and other stores, and any purchasable products in the U.S. economy. Ironically, the first four items listed in the preceding sentence have a direct effect on the price of all the other items referred to at the end of the sentence.
What administration has been pleased to inflate the price of those four items? (Democrats' Green climate control policies) Take your pick -- Trump, Biden or Putin?
With all the political, social, and economical chaos instigated by the Biden administration and its supporting cast of Washington lemmings, it is utterly unconceivable to me to believe any American could vote Democratic during these midterm elections.
It is time for Americans to swallow their pride and do what is right for the betterment of America. Remember, if you vote Democratic, you are voting to continue to have the lower status of our society along with everyone else, including yourself, suffer the devastating effects of this administrations' potential recessionary causing policies.
Since it is obvious that nobody in America, including illegals, is absent from these inflationary withdraws and payments from our bank accounts. All legally voting citizens should be ready to begin to resolve this problem. The first step to that resolution would be to oust the instigators of these present policies from office.
If you are a breathing human, you have experienced all the things (and much more) which were stated above. In my opinion, if you still vote Democratic, you must be influenced by some type of eye visor or shield similar to the ones which the Amish horses utilize. Something is shading your eyes and mind and not allowing the real chaos to be acknowledged.
If one takes a close, common sensed look at all the present chaotic governmental policies, surely he/she who has experienced these many restrictive and inflationary policies would and should want to provide the catalyst to remedy these policies.
The remedy for the correction of the present chaotic path of our nation is to remove the individuals who have steered this present direction.
