Dear Republicans: I’m truly sorry you’ve lost your party; I’m sad for the nation.
You’ve said you value fiscal responsibility. You bludgeoned President Obama for ballooning deficits and the national debt when stopping the Great Recession.
Now, you’re silent on Trump’s increases.
Once, you believed lying was an impeachable offense. You valued honor, truth. You then elected a leader with neither.
Once, you faced challenges. Now, you deny climate change. Once, you protected the environment. Now, you reverse course. You once valued compassionate conservatism. Now, you lead with fear and hatred.
You believed in states’ and private property rights. Obviously, no more. Trump told aides to break the law. He’d pardon them for taking private lands and ignoring remaining environmental laws.
And valuing constitutional process? Senator Mitch McConnell won’t stop nations interfering in our elections. He blocks protections from madmen.
Further, you’ve fabricated wars for oil and profit and fought health insurance for millions of uninsured.
Does GOP stand for Greed Over People? Have you lost your way in grabbing for power?
Are you still proud of the Republican Party? What does it stand for?
Nancy C. Jacques
