Editor,
This letter expresses my personal opinion and explanation of where we are as a nation today. This has nothing to do with politics. I know many others feel and express this same view.
It all has to do with human nature and how Donald Trump’s negative human nature aspects have enlivened others to follow him.
These human nature aspects include fear, anger, and blaming others for your problems which often can lead to attacks on others.
For the last number of years Trump has been “front and center” expressing and acting out these negative behavioral patterns. This has captured the attention of many who have been dealing with their own personal problems. So now along comes a leader demonstrating behavior showing that personal problems are not your fault. Someone else is to blame. Donald Trump has led and grown this movement to the point that we are where we are as a nation today.
Where do we go from here? Hopefully, regardless of political party affiliations, enough leaders and the general public will be eager to preserve our freedoms and our democratic form of government so that the next few years can be a very positive learning experience for our nation and our world.
