America must vote for a leader we can respect - Vote Blue!

Echo: Letter to the editor published in The Buffalo News, a New York State newspaper.

This (tRump) administration, with the complicity of the Party of Trump, has done so many things that work against this country and the world and against common decency as to be overwhelming. 

Unless of course you are a member of Donald Trump’s aptly named “base.” Since those people will not likely ever apply for re-entry into the human race it is up to the rest of us to prove that we are capable of out-voting them.

We will know 16 months from now whether there are more of us or more of them. 

Forgetting about his having turned his back on science, truth, the rule of law and his own national security experts with respect to climate change, Russian election interference, his own nepotism and his trashing of the separation of church and state – forgetting about all this, the insensitivity and callousness and un-Christian behavior of this president, his congressional apologists and his supporters regarding the treatment of asylum seekers at our southern border alone ought to be enough to make any American of conscience throw Trump and his Republican co-conspirators out of office.

Time will tell if we are to regain the honor that used to be associated with America, or whether we will all be complicit in the continuation of the current moral devolution of our nation.

My waning confidence in American values may well expire in November of next year.
