Editor,

In response to Zinovy Fichtenholz’s letter “Mullin’s Failure,” I take exception to so many things it’s hard to know where to start. President Trump has made a mockery of all the issues you list as accomplishments. Do you call soaring national debt, what has happened in Minnesota, erratic tariffs and the war in Ukraine successful policies? I find it very disheartening that there are so many people willing to follow this president off the cliff. I always believed people were better than that. I now think maybe I was naive. As far as Mullin goes, my suggestion to his detractors is to move to a state like Oklahoma or Mississippi and really experience the lifestyle of a regressive and backwards culture. That seems to be what you really want. I am not going to say anymore about Trump simply because the evidence against him is so blatant that it is futile to try to convince his supporters of anything. I just hope we can survive this wave of fascism.

Hilarious. Hey Mr. Keegan, thanks for providing the latest Democrat talking points that have no connection with reality. In fact, all of the issues you cite are directly or indirectly related to Democrat messes that Trump is attempting to clean up. I find it more disheartening to see Democrats putting the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people. Why don’t these Democrats believe in law and order or our Constitution? I always believed people, even Democrats, were better than that. I now think maybe I was naive.

As far as Trump goes, my suggestion to his detractors is to move to a country like Russia or North Korea (but not Iran since they may be encountering technical difficulties very soon) and really experience the lifestyle of a regressive and backwards culture. That seems to be what they really want. Else, I’d say sit back and enjoy our (yes, our) great President Trump Making America Great Again, Again. I do admit Trump was wrong about one thing, I’m not tired of winning.

As for your fear mongering in attempting to associate fascism with Trump, don’t you think potty-mouthed Democrats or anyone else out of favor would have been shipped to Ukraine, to be conscripted into war? I’m still waiting for that to happen…as is everyone else trying to scare folks about an end to democracy. These fear mongering tactics about fascism only serve to undermine the arguments of the author. We, even they, all know they have no basis in reality. Have a Trump-tastic day!

The guideline for some seems to be “Anything Republican and nothing but”, leading followers right off the proverbial cliff, like the old story about the German rat catcher.
