To the editor:

A Democrat friend asked me to give her one valid reason why she should vote Republican. Here are a few:.

Some people have Trump Derangement Syndrome — their minds can’t comprehend the same evidence that makes common-sense American patriots outraged. Some of their delusions: Joe Biden is competent, Michelle Obama is oppressed, Bill Gates is a scientist, Greta Thunberg is a climate expert, riots are mostly peaceful and illegal alien criminals don’t pose a threat to anyone.

The Cato Institute found for every 100,000 illegal aliens, 2.2 Americans are killed by an illegal alien. Democrats preach if only one person is killed by a gun, we should ban guns. I say if one person is killed by an illegal alien, ban illegal aliens. The argument for keeping illegal aliens in America is they do things Americans don’t want to do — like vote Democrat. If President Donald Trump did all the things Democrats accuse him of, he’d be a Democrat. The only thing that has gotten worse under Trump is Democrats’ behavior. Historically the two largest destroyers of life are Islam and communism. Democrats have embraced both. Outraged yet?

Democrats owned slaves; defended slavery; created and formed the Confederacy; founded the KKK; perpetuated lynchings; enforced segregation (remember George Wallace?); enacted Jim Crow and poll tax laws; filibustered civil rights legislation; opposed the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments; wrote and passed the Indian Removal Act; were responsible for the Trail of Tears and Japanese-American internment camps,; and voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Outraged yet?

Democrats say Trump is a dictator. Yet, Democrats are the party that wants to decide if a baby should live or die; tax you if they think you make too much money; decide what energy source or cars and appliances you should use; decide what words you can say; and decide what they can do to your kids without your permission. Outraged yet?

All Democrats in Congress, save one, voted against requiring identification when voting, although several recent CNN and Gallup polls show 74 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, 76 percent of Blacks, 82 percent of Latinos and 91 percent of Republicans favor it. Yet, Democrats want ICE agents to show identification. Members of Congress must insert an identification card into a scanner to vote in the House or Senate. Democrats don’t want it because they won’t be able to manipulate the outcome of elections. Outraged yet?

Biden’s Supreme Court appointee, Ketanji Brown-Jackson, according to court records, spoke 72,000 words during court sessions last year, 20,000 more than the other two liberal female jurists, and she still can’t define a woman. She stood and applauded during the Grammy Awards when they spoke about abolishing ICE. She should recuse herself on hearings regarding ICE. Outraged yet?

How to avoid ICE: Don’t be here illegally, don’t attack ICE agents and follow federal and state laws.
