LETTER: The many dangers of Donald Trump

Donald Trump has misjudged our nation’s character. Doesn’t he know the passion of people who want to be free through democracy, not autocracy?

Mr. Trump says he will be a dictator only for a day. But look at how he ran his administration. He ignored or fired advisers who disagreed with him and admired dictators such as Russia’s Putin or Turkey’s Erdoğan. He arbitrarily ignored health advisers about COVID killing thousands, and he collapsed our economy by mishandling the pandemic.

Should people live under a tyrant who makes laws filled with inequalities (tax reductions for the rich; trickle-down economics never works), displays inhumanity (mocking disabled individuals) and promotes injustice (saying he could kill someone in front of people and get away with it)?

Lastly, what gives him the right to decide what health care people will get? He’s not a doctor. Shouldn’t people resist a man who is choking them to death?

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.
