Time to move on

As my wife and I stood in line in the wind and rain waiting to vote, we talked to many others voting in person.

The general attitude was that few of us trusted the mail in ballots.

It appeared that even in the bad weather, voting was so important that standing in line for 45 minutes was OK.

The nasty and divisive political climate has polarized us made every vote much more important. Yet the group in line was cordial and pleasant.

The results of the election, while not what I had hoped, has ended the participation of Donald Trump in politics. I supported him until his mouth got the better of him.

I don’t think he’s a criminal nor has he committed any crime but its time for the republicans to move on. The democrats have, in two years of Biden’s term, done great damage to this country that now needs to be fixed. The people are hurting yet the President and Vice President are totally oblivious to it all.

Both parties need work. Extremism on either the left or right is not good for our country. The world has looked up to us for a long time so to keep that special position, we have to get our house in order.

Racism, gender issues, inequality, need to be dealt with. Honesty, and trust must return to the forefront of our activities.

Finally, our borders need to be secure like they are in nearly every other country in this world. If this is the place that many want to move to then we have got to make this the best place on earth.

An honest and legal entrance to our country will set those coming here on the road to an honest and productive life in the USA. Jim Gardner
