I appreciate Mr. Tatum’s response to my earlier letter.  We agree that preserving our democratic republic is an imperative for us all. The question remains -which party represents the greater threat?  Interestingly, Mr. Tatum proved my point by not addressing any of the specific facts I listed showing that Democrats are the REAL threat to democracy, particularly that a democratically-elected Presidential Candidate was forced to withdraw from the 2024 election and was replaced by a candidate who did not receive a single primary vote in either 2020 or in 2024.  Regardless of political party, anyone truly concerned about our democracy would question the coup against Biden, the choice of Harris as candidate, weakening of voter ID laws, and attempts to allow illegal immigrants to vote.

Mr. Tatum says “not true” that he votes on personality – then calls Trump a “pathological liar” and “evil character” (these don’t sound like policy to me).  Half of Americans believe these words describe Biden and Harris.  This is exactly why we need to discuss policies, not personalities!  The only “lies” that matter regard policies directly affecting crime, national security, border integrity and economy.  Harris continually lies that “crime is down”, “the border is secure”, “Biden is mentally fit”, “Trump caused our inflation”, “we have no troops in harm’s way”, etc.  Harris has changed virtually EVERY controversial position she has held in the past decade now that she is running for President, yet at the same time says that she can’t think of anything she would do differently!!  Would this qualify her as a “pathological liar”?  Today’s Democrat party prioritizes criminals over victims, illegal immigrants over citizens, biological men in women’s locker rooms, foreign borders over our own, and unlimited spending at taxpayer expense.  THESE are the reasons Trump has the following he currently has.  

There are more important things than money.  Easy to say if you have it – but explain this to people who struggle to feed their kids or pay their bills because of Bidenomics.  Biden/Harris caused this inflation by opening the border to 10 million illegal immigrants (exceeding the combined populations of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine and New Hampshire). The resulting competition (imagine duplicating every dwelling in these 10 states to accommodate the influx) makes housing virtually unattainable for the average low income and new homebuyer.  Kamala’s solution?  Let’s give illegal immigrants taxpayer money for down payments!  Exactly who is lining their pockets with gold???

Democrat propaganda that Trump is a fascist; wants to eliminate Medicare and Social Security; or “is not pro-life for any immigrant” are desperate responses to the 70-80% of Americans don’t like Democrat policies.  Hillary called 25% of Americans “deplorables”.  Biden called half of Americans “threats to Democracy”.  Biden’s DOJ called American parents of school kids, American Catholics,and Americans citizens questioning COVID vaccines or the last election, domestic terror threats.  THIS IS TODAY’S DEMOCRAT PARTY.
