A Simple Choice

To the Editor:
In response to Mr. Paul Adinolfi’s letter (The Newtown Bee, November 13, 2020, “Why The Trump Votes?”) on why 70 million (plus) Americans voted for Mr Trump. They are well informed, and made a simple choice; they don’t want to live under Socialism!

They are badly informed. The vast majority of Democrats (especially a moderate like Joe Biden) are not socialists. And it isn’t like Republicans don’t like socialism just fine when it is for things they approve of. Farm subsidies are socialist, for example. If farmers get to benefit from redistributed wealth, why shouldn’t others?
Dennis perhaps you might want to define exazctly what you feel socialisms is? Is it when the government supports other people with your tax dollars? Is it social security? or Medicare? Rather than a word, what is it that has you so upset.
Bruce, I would encourage you to listen to Bill Maher’s introspective monologue from his HBO program last week.
Please note, it is rather easy to identify these Trump voters and take action to control and re-educate them. Turn the ballot sheets over to the police and let them be examined for fingerprints and DNA.
(NOTE: this is sarcasm in case anyone believes I was serious)
Can’t we have honest policy debates without name calling and invectives ?
