Editor,
Wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the column “UK conservatism and American parallels” by Student News columnist Josette Thornhill that appeared in the Daily Journal Dec. 28-29. You hit all the relevant points clarifying the parallels between Trump’s and Johnson’s conservative parties. You’re a very talented writer and along with Greta, Parkland students and other active young people will continue to give the older generation hope to turn the current tipping point for our democracy towards a restoration of the democratic values built into our Constitution by our Founding Fathers.

Frances - the likes of you are one of the reasons Trump was elected. You and the Democrats keep on spouting 'democratic values' and refer to the original intent of the Founding Fathers while you actually have violated all they stood for. Obama was likely the worst in flaunting everything that he swore to. Remember his State of the Union address in which he proclaimed that he could bypass the Congress because he had "a phone and a pen". The student writer, while capable, is not a journalist but already a biased reporter coached by the left-leaning educational system that our children are subject to. For all practical purposes, the Press, not all, but in general, has lost its credibility, in fact acting as the Democratic Party propaganda machine. Josette is just another victim of that mind set. Fortunately, there are other student writers who are not swayed by this indoctrination.
