GOP does not own the Bible

To the Editor:

Trump and his sidekick billionaire know exactly why our Constitution was intentionally designed with three branches of government. The speed with which they look to dismantle our checks and balances is proof that they look to install a government like Victor Orbàn has done in Hungary.

One needs only to look at the economic wreck that is Hungary.

Trump and Musk believe that wealthy white men know what is best for a pluralistic society and deliver the hate, misogyny and cruelty to the widows, the orphans, the imprisoned, the hungry and the strangers (a.k.a., immigrants). Those pushing Project 2025 have not read the gospels of Jesus Christ in a very long time and reject the message of Christ with every piece of legislation they try to pass. Jesus is not a Republican or Democrat, yet the Republicans believe they own his Bible.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
