Republicans created a mess for American exceptionalism: Republicans are cult Trumpzis

Echo opinion letter reported in the Independence Bulletin Journal, newspaper, published in Iowa:

I strongly urge area voters to vote a straight Democratic ticket in the coming November elections, from our local candidates right to the top national office.

Let’s face it: is Iowa in a mess or what? The Republican party has controlled Iowa's state legislature since the 2016, election and what has been the result? Our voting rights have been steadily curtailed (early voting days cut, absentee voting requirements stiffened); and social programs and unemployment benefits reduced. State funds to our schools have stalled at 2.5% while inflation is far above that and monies to our state colleges have been reduced, resulting in higher tuition for students. Though nothing was codified during the last legislative session, we had Republican rants to jail teachers, and librarians and the Republican president of the Senate used an obscene gesture in our State Capitol with the comment to Democrats: “Here’s my message!”
Medical professionals and business owners are reacting to the latest failure on the part of Republican Governor Kim Reynolds to fight back against the coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, Republican Governor Kim Reynolds, in the meantime, is boasting of a billion-dollar state treasury balance, while we’re kicking conservation officers out of our state parks (we can’t afford to fix employee housing?) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) labeled 11 of our state beaches “swimming not recommended.” She also proposes to take funds from public schools for a tuition program to private schools, which critics warn will result in the closing of schools in the smaller counties. And our Senator Grassley and Congresswoman Hinson are trying to keep their stories straight on whether they voted for the $35 insulin charge or not.

Please mark that ballot straight Democratic!
