LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

Among his other accomplishments, our clairvoyant president has predicted the future. Weeks ago he promised that illegal voters would control the election and … voila, without proof, his predictions came true and his supporters went wild.

Does anyone question his modus operandi? Does anyone recognize a pattern? Weeks before something Donald Trump is against, he starts to create lies about the event — fake news, biased reporters, a hoax — nothing is exempt from his contempt.

I know his followers know there was Russian interference in the 2016 election. that COVID isn’t a hoax, and that our president is a big-time liar, but our present day Svengali gets away with it all. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture?

I believe that’s how dictators gain power. When will people wake up and see that, in Mr. Trump’s mind, “Make America great again” means empower him for life? Dictators create distrust in our institutions and press.. He’s done that. Now he wants you to vote him in for life.

Mr. Trump lost by more than 4 million popular votes. Our new president is Joe Biden. Accept it.

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy
Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security
Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
