LETTER Democrats no longer the party of the working class
My dad came from a family of 17 siblings, all die-hard Democrats. They always voted a straight ticket no matter who the candidate was or what the candidate represented, as long as he or she was a Democrat.
In my teenage years, I remember a few of the annual Democratic rallies. Hundreds of people attended these rallies to listen to the speeches being made by local candidates. Back then, the Democratic Party was the party of the working class. It represented our Founding Fathers’ message of social justice, economic fairness and individual liberty.
However, the Democratic Party no longer represents the values of our founders or my family. It now has become a party of resistance, obstruction, hypocrisy, violent, left-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists. Supporting the party now are all the biased mainstream media outlets like CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
All are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Their main goal is to bash President Trump any way they can in order to destroy his presidency.
The Democrats and even some of the Republicans need to get off of their backsides and work on getting a health care bill passed, getting tax reform passed and fixing our infrastructure. That would be good for our country.
