Real, not fake, president would take responsibility

The president created this toxic political environment. His rhetoric and lies are fuel for divisiveness and hatred. A real, not fake, president would never spew such venom. A real, not fake, president would never assault the media. A real, not fake, president would not lie habitually to Americans. A real, not fake, president would know how to console us, bring us together, and truly lead us in this crisis. He is the one at fault; now he should take responsibility.

JANE E. KOCH, ATLANTA

exploding our national debt to give tax breaks to the rich. Having a good economy doesn’t make up for all that. Such an abysmal level of moral leadership is more dangerous at this point in our history than a candidate’s position on the issues. So for this election, if you’re a Republican who supports Trump, I’m just letting you know that I’m voting for the Democrat.

RAELLE FOSLER, WOODSTOCK

today’s GOP is greed, their overriding goal to ensure that wealth remains in the hands of selected white males. Toward this end, they would throw poor whites under the bus rather than lift a finger to help anyone who is non-white, deny equal rights to anyone except straight white males, legislate control of women’s bodies, and appoint misogynistic males to the judiciary. Greed explains everything Republicans do: voting for Donald Trump, suppressing votes, denying rights, defunding public schools and economic assistance, overfunding war and incarceration, trashing the environment, granting tax cuts to corporations and the rich — the list goes on. If you vote Republican, this is what you support, and your Republican leaders love you for it all the way to the bank
