The letter "S" represents Republican shame and sedition

Opinion echo published in The Post Star, newspaper in Glens Falls, New York.

Former Guy has lost his mind!

Dear Editor: How does America, a country like ours, educated and Christian, elect a man as manic as (evil!) Donald Trump?

How does a country like ours, full of good people, believe an evil man like #FormerGuy Trump — a man who mimics Adolf Hitler in countless ways?

How does a country like ours, a country of democracy, allow a maniac like (evil!) Donald Trump to convince them, intelligent people, of lies for four long years?

How does a country America, full of voters who voted legally, ever forgive the political party responsible for the attempted coup and subsequent deaths at the U.S. Capitol?

How does a country America, with supposed decent and law-abiding politicians, elect politicians who are so easily swayed by power and the pursuit of it?

How does a country like America, faced with a murderous mob of our #FormerGuy president’s own making, forgive Elise Stefanik for her complicity and cowardice?

I know I won’t.

Elise Stefanik — wear your red hat to pay homage to your false god, Donald Trump. Wear, also, the red “S” for shame and sedition.
