Kerry,

Your response is a real head-shaker. I’ve taken 24 hours to respond because I want to be kind, as your response seems genuine and well intended. But how in the world you, or anyone else, can think what I or John Dean said has anything in the world to do with Joe Biden (or Hillary Clinton, or the Democratic Party) is beyond me.

I would vote for the Democrat’s presidential candidate if it were Joe Blow, or pretty much anyone chosen off the street at random, all to do my level best to make sure the next president is NOT Donald Trump!

My comments and John ‘s are ONLY about the horrors of Donald Trump, and mention of anyone else at all (Hillary, Biden et al) is completely irrelevant and beside the point.

Like them or not, all previous presidents since Nixon appeared for the most part to be decent, law-abiding, reasonable and perfectly normal individuals, all with the interest at heart of the nation as a whole.

Then came Donald Trump, who shares none of the above qualities. He’s certainly the single worst president we’ve had, if not ever then certainly in my lifetime (I date back to FDR).

What’s more, you can take the definition of evil from any source from any society from any era in the history of humankind, match what all behaviors described as evil have in common, and it will match Donald Trump’s known and documented behavior to a T.

There are a great many of us who recognized Trump’s dishonesty, self-serving narcissism, and staggering incompetence from the get-go, then watched as during the final days of his Constitution-shredding and democracy-trampling presidency, he sicced a violent mob onto our Capitol building, wreaking unprecedented havoc while taking the lives of at least five Americans, al in an effort to overturn a legitimate presidential election, he result of which he happened to disagree and, therefore, refused to accept..

So, Kerry, it’s absolutely not about Hillary, Joe, or how it came to pass that Trump got into office. All that matters is that he did. And, far worse, it may happen again! And our nation, rapidly approaching 250 years as a democratic republic, may not endure as such, may be in danger of becoming an autocracy. And I don’t want “It can’t happen here, this is America!” to be our famous last words.
