Letter: Democrats crush our republic

By Christine Nulph, Vancouver

After less than one year in power Joe Biden and the Democrats have managed to bungle everything they have touched. The Afghanistan withdrawal was a huge fiasco, our southern border encountered almost 2 million illegals in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has been used as a political hammer to keep the lowly citizens in line and to soften them up for future more intrusive mandates. Wear masks! Get endless vaccines! Get fired if you do not comply! The use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have been disparaged.

Add to that sordid list exploding crime levels, inflation, shortages, supply chain issues, energy dependence, and support for hateful groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter, and it starts to make you wonder. I think the new Stalinist Democrats are planning a coup. They know most voters are against their agenda and Dems know they will never keep power if they have to depend on a legitimate election process.

“When the government’s boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.” Friends, wake up! The left boot is crushing the life out of our republic.
