Maybe we should calm down and take some Ativan, or maybe even try using some common sense. Be- cause calling Trump “Hit- ler” is kinda like calling me a Liberal. It’s a lie, offen- sive, and just plain stupid. I guess we can all expect insults to be hurled as the campaign trail comes to an end, but some things are over the top ridiculous, and counterproductive. Hillary did a great job of insulting half the population when she called us a Basket of Deplorables. Looks like Kamala is trying to one-up her. But guess what girls…. it’s not working. All it’s done is make you look des- perate. And calling Trump a Fascist only draws atten- tion to your own party…. you know….the party that supports terrorists, claims tolerance while demanding everyone agrees with them, sends billions to our ene- mies, has their opponents arrested, and rips babies from the womb. So, let’s have a little history lesson. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party who started WWII. He was responsible for the death of 6 million Jews by herding them into gas chambers or having them stripped naked and executed, then buried in mass graves or incinerated. He did save a few so his minions could do experiments on them (trust the science). He was also responsible for the death of millions of other innocent human beings. This included women and children (sorry to be gen- der-insensitive). Sadly, he ended his life before anyone else had the pleasure. Now let’s talk about Trump. He was the 45th President of our country and has a proven record of success. During Trump’s term in office, the econo- my was stable, our borders were comparatively secure, our military was strong, our enemies feared us, and our freedom was protect- ed. There were no new wars, and we weren’t on the verge of WWIII. He is a friend of Israel, our vet- erans, laborers (including farmers and ranchers), the unborn, and anyone who wants a job, fuel in their car, groceries, safety in their streets, and government out of their pockets. Donald Trump is the Republican Presidential candidate who was actually ELECTED by the people’s votes, not placed there by the Deep State. You may hate his hair or hate him because it’s the cool thing to do in the Left world….but remember this. The one you choose to lead your country has the power to create the world in which your kids and grandkids will live. They can create a better future for them, where they can experience peace, free- dom, and decency while having the opportunity to succeed. Or they can cre- ate a totalitarian govern- ment that tells them what they can say (hate speech), whom they can hire (DEI), what they can drive (EV), and what “news” they can hear. It should be pretty easy to figure out where the real “threat to Democ- racy” is. Be honest. Are you bet- ter off today than you were 4 years ago? “When the godly are in authority, the people re- joice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.” Proverbs 29:2 B y S u s i e C r o s b y, Prineville, OR.
