Editor, Times-Union:
Some of the most loyal Democrats are those that are either ignorant of the facts or want to believe the lies they are told. Take for instance indictments. If being indicted means someone is guilty of a crime, that would mean a century ago when Blacks were accused of crimes they didn't commit, they were guilty. If not going to prison means someone is innocent of a crime, a century ago when KKK members were lynching Blacks and not going to prison for murder they were innocent of murder. And the judges that were overtly racist and even the presidents that were overtly racist like Wilson were correct when they went against Blacks. No wonder so many Blacks voted for Republicans after the Civil War and their oppressors were Democrats.
I knew a wonderful Black woman back in New York who lived in Tennessee during the Jim Crow era. She was a proud Democrat. When I told her Democrats supported racism in Tennessee when she was growing up, she didn't want to believe me.
When I tell people that a century ago abortion was a form of racism since Margaret Sanger used it to keep "undesirables" like Blacks from reproducing, they don't want to believe me. But if it weren't for abortion, the Black population might be over 10 million people more in America. Why else would so many abortion clinics be located in Black neighborhoods if it weren't for racism? Maybe BLM is a bit racist since you don't see members protest in front of abortion clinics that exterminate Black lives.
When Trump was president, his tax cuts and stronger economy helped almost everyone and increased tax revenues. His reduction in regulations allowed companies to invest more in the economy. If it weren't for China sending us and the rest of the world COVID, Trump might have won re-election. He wouldn't have wanted to call out the National Guard for January 6, which Pelosi rejected to prevent the riot that happened.
Biden says Democracy is on the line in November. He's right. He says a dictator must be prevented from being elected then. Too late. The dictator Joe Biden was made president in 2020. He must be impeached because he is the most corrupt president ever elected. If you voted for him and hate what is happening in the world and America, blame yourself. You voted for the chaos by voting for Biden. And the chaos associated with Trump was started by the Democrats. But devoted Democrats have minds closed like rusty steel traps.
