God bless Elon Musk

To the Editor: We hear a lot these days about threats to “our democracy,” but we don’t have one to be threatened. It has already been threatened and killed while we were asleep at the switch.
What do we have then? We have an authoritarian oligarchy with American democratic characteristics. Yes, we have two parties, but one is trying to dictate to the other what it is allowed to stand for and for which candidates people are allowed to vote. We have elections, but only one party is allowed to question them while resisting all attempts at ensuring election integrity. When supporters of one party such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa take to the streets and assault police officers and burn buildings, they get bailed out to continue their protests, and if anyone is convicted it is usually a slap on the wrist.
On the other hand, January 6 protesters are rotting in the D.C. gulag and denied bail with harsh sentences contemplated after lengthy trial delays. Anti-abortion protesters are subject to FBI raids and prosecution while firebombers of crisis pregnancy centers are never identified, let alone prosecuted, while Attorney General Merrick Garland has the nerve to talk about the rule of law. It’s obvious that some people are above the law while others are going to be consigned under it. One party can have contempt of Congress with no consequences while the other party is convicted and sentenced. The double standard and two-tiered justice is on display everywhere. Doesn’t sound like “our democracy” to me.
Democrats have gotten away with so much because of their ability to shape the narrative through a corrupt media and social media platforms that will never call anyone to account unless he or she is a Republican. Bad news is covered up such as Hunter Biden’s laptop revelations before the last election. People who have something important to add to the conversation have been “deplatformed.”
People who get their news from “trusted” sources might better reconsider. There is a wealth of information available outside these propaganda organs. Their power lies in our willing captivity to their insular world view. Those who are truly concerned with the future of our democracy, such as it is, and have a sense of fair play, check out other sources. I’m eager to see what Twitter will be like when the dust settles. What a shot in the arm for democracy that will be. God bless Elon Musk!
This is only the beginning of what is needed to reclaim our country. We need more people to wake up and elect people that will have the backbone to go after an out-of-control bureaucracy. Departments that will not accept proper oversight should be defunded until they comply. We don’t need a secret police but that’s what the FBI has become. We have some remnants of constitutional protection left but they are fewer than they were just a few years ago and the current trend is bad.
For a democracy to be healthy the leaders must not be insulated and out of touch with the people they are responsible for. This is the reason for Donald Trump’s popularity that the geniuses that are currently in charge can’t figure out. They won’t figure it out either because they are too invested in pushing the top down cramdown of their toxic agenda on an unwilling population that has different priorities. Wake up and vote to save us from the Democrat chaos and hard times. Oh, did I mention nuclear war?

Thank you David for a voice of reason. I feel like people have blinders on and cannot see or hear the truth. I heard a lady complaining about the cost of living and how her social security wasn't enough. I reminded her to be careful how she votes this year and her quick response was, "Well it sure won't be Republican." What? Our businesses were showing profits, our borders were safe and we were not begging fuel from our enemies. We HAD a President that loved America and always put us first. Now we have an old man that gets lost, slurs his words and has done everything in his power to weaken and destroy us.

Thank you David for a voice of reason. I feel like people have blinders on and for some reason cannot see or hear the truth. I heard a lady complaining about the cost of living and asking what she could do to stretch her dollars, I made the comment to consider that when she votes this year. Her reply was, "Well it won't be republican." What? Our business were making money, our borders were safe, and we had our own fuel without begging from our enemies. We HAD a president that loved America and always put us first. Now we have an old man that gets lost and slurs his words and has done everything he can to destroy our Country.
