It’s commendable that many
For example, recently, President Trump installed a mega-donor confederate as postmaster general, and this fellow fired 23 key executives in the Postal Service, evidently to facilitate Trump’s project of slowing the mails so as to delegitimize mail-in voting. That’s reprehensible.
And what about Trump’s dismissiveness of intelligence that Russia has been paying the Taliban bounties for killing Americans? When Trump was asked if he had confronted Putin about this in their most recent phone conversation, Trump said the subject hadn’t come up.
Then there’s Trump’s welcoming Russian illegal (by its nature) interference in our electoral processes on his behalf.
These are just three examples of an endless succession of Trump’s assaults on our democracy that I think responsible newspapers like the Herald should not ignore, particularly because the overriding issue in the upcoming election isn’t about the relative merits of conservative and liberal policies, but about the survival of American democracy.
