To the Editor,

A crushing defeat, just what we needed. No. I’m not being sarcastic. We asked for this. We needed this. And we got it!

I am a true-blue Democrat, but what happened Tuesday night slapped us Democrats in the face with just the hard lesson we truly needed. Barack Obama was a Democratic success story, but it gave the Democrats so much confi- dence that we took a chance on the Biden/Harris ticket.

History will show that as a mistake, with the 20 Biden shell companies, law-breaking Biden family, Hunter’s lap- top scandal, endless “lawfare” attacks against Trump while accusing him of becoming the “dictator” who would order the exact same “prosecution against his political adversaries.”

Leaving Trump under-protected while, at the same time, calling him a “threat to democracy.” It’s no surprise that two insane assassins attempted to kill Trump. Passing the “Inflation reduction Act,” which only raised taxes and increased inflation. Having Biden/Harris’s head of Homeland Security lie about the border being secure while millions of illegal aliens poured in and most recently, a supervisor at FEMA was discovered ordering employees to pass over any victim of the recent hurricane if their home had a Trump sign on it. The Democrats, MY Democrats, had their confidence turn into arrogance. We tried to sell the voters a crock of s*** and they just weren’t buying it.

None of that is what I remember of MY Democrats. Past Democrats from John Kennedy to Bill Clinton were the party of the working people, the middle-class and a vast majority of voters. These new Democrats are the party of the elite, and while they have a ton of money and power, they still only have one vote each.

Hopefully that Democratic Party will return to our roots.
