Our rights are on endangered
To the Editor:
Myself, like many other people these days, are trying to keep up with the constant bombardment of the current administration’s policy changes. My brain is spinning and my mind is weary.
The Project 2025 authors are doing exactly what they set out to do and have had several years to craft their master plan for the dismantling of our democracy by the stroke of a sharpie pen, along with the manic rush of Elon Musk and his inexperienced young hacks.
In my opinion, Trump at this point is just an old man bent on revenge but mainly a front man for the cameras. The real culprits are in his shadow and pulling the strings. Because of his shameless actions and criminal history he is also easily manipulated to carry out the actions that they have crafted against our laws and the Constitution. But I do believe that his proclivity for the admiration of dictators is real and his personal craving for absolute power is his main motivation.
When I was in high school back in the 1970s, we were required to take AVC, Americanism vs. Communism, which taught us the difference of autocratic rule, totalitarian power, authoritarian regimes, dictatorship and socialism etc. We also learned how our democracy works and how it came to be. Apparently a majority of voters never took that course. If so, I think the outcome in this election would have been very different.
Yes, I would like to see government waste reductions and better safeguards for fraud prevention like any sensible person, but the exceedingly reckless use of a non-elected billionaire who has and continues to make millions with his government contracts is just not who should be in charge. But here we are Americans, so now I’m just waiting to see how much damage will continue to be done before the voters who support their destruction of our nation and democracy have a rude awakening, along with the ones who chose not to vote or be engaged by doing their civic responsibility to protect our country from a bunch of fanatical despots who have a fascist agenda in play.
