The letters to the editor respond to Joe Matthews' piece on the death of America's democratic republic, expressing a mix of sadness and frustration. Patricia DeMore laments the transformation of the country into a dictatorial power, feeling sorrow not only for current citizens but also for future generations. Will Beatty counters this viewpoint, insisting that many citizens are actively fighting to preserve democracy. He encourages continued protest and engagement rather than surrendering to despair, positioning civic action as essential to combating perceived authoritarian threats.
Everything he referenced about our history and the current transformation of our former democratic republic into a court-sanctioned dictatorial power is so true.
Mathews and the cowards in our two parties are as much to blame for democracy being at risk as Donald Trump.
There are millions of ordinary citizens and organizations fighting mightily to stop Trump and save our democracy.
If you want our constitutional republic to continue to exist...do not give up.
