Editor, Times-Union:
If you believed every negative thing people believed about Trump, the Right, and Israel, you would think Trump was a dictator that was destroying democracy, the Right was too dangerous to be allowed to exist, and there was genocide in Gaza. Even newspaper writers embrace the lies like a 3-year-old who insists Santa Claus exists.
If Trump were a dictator, all his enemies would be either sent to prison or killed. Has that happened? Kimmel is back on the air. Wouldn't a dictator keep him off the air? We see hundreds of protests throughout the nation against Trump. If he were a dictator, why weren't any of the protesters shot by the police like what the Czar did in Russia before the Revolution?
There are millions who believe Obama and Biden were more supportive of free speech than Trump is. Trump never used the IRS to shut down opponents like Obama did. Biden forced internet companies to silence critics that wanted to state facts that Biden didn't agree with. People who prayed in front of abortion clinics where black lives were being exterminated were arrested. I find it unusual that BLM never protests against abortion clinics where more black lives have been exterminated than what the KKK exterminated in lynchings. Maybe unborn Black lives don't matter to them. Popular fascists like the Democrats that provoke the Left to attack the Right think they are attacking enemies of the state and often support tactics that supposedly they hate. People have died thanks to provocations by the Left.
To the Left, most attacks on the Right are justified. Many of the "Don't Wanna Knows" still insist the Right is more vicious than the Left. People like them sent Jesus to the cross because they thought they were doing the right thing. Many on the Left support socialism even though it has destroyed numerous nations. It's as if they have a bottle of cyanide with the skull and crossbones on it and they still swallow the poison because they think it won't kill them.
If Israel were committing genocide, why would they be shipping food to Gaza? Wouldn't they carpet bomb Gaza? God promised to give them more land than they possess now. Yet haters of Israel think the Jews are stealing the land. I guess they also hate God.
Thank God Trump is in the White House. If he were a dictator, the ones that hate him wouldn't be free to spout such nonsense.
