Not all Trump supporters can be stereotyped
Editor:
I was pleased to see the headline on Jerry Fabyanic’s Nov. 16 opinion column piece — at least at first: “Trump presidency will do, in democracy.” “Hurrah!” I thought. “Jerry is finally admitting in print that there are people (lots) in America who disagree with his world view and still have a right to be heard!”
Then I saw I had read it wrong: no comma. And when I read the body of the text, I found out those who don’t agree with him, at least when it comes to the presidential election, are “… chamber of commerce types, feckless conservatives, dutiful Republicans, political careerists, seething, low-wage earners and rubes, an assortment of racists, misogynists and xenophobes.”
Well, I don’t agree with you, and I am none of the above.
Rather, I’m an 80-year-old retired research scientist who sees our country for the past several years heading down the path to rogue-nation status, where there has been a breakdown in the balance of power, and where the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and rule of law have been purposely ignored.
