The Democrats’ hate

As I read the paper and listen to the news, it’s hard to imagine a liberal Democrat as an American with the heart of a true patriot for our country.

How can Americans defend terrorists, MS-13 gang members, illegal immigrants, etc., over our own American citizens? We see and hear how, for instance, MS-13 gangs rape, torture, beat, sex-traffic young girls and women, not to mention murders they commit. Yet we have senators flying to El Salvador to defend an alleged MS-13 member — a confirmed illegal migrant — and try to bring him back to the United States.

We have liberal Democrats in our government who emigrated from countries that hate us. A liberal Democrat who hates everything this nation stands for is being touted as a presidential candidate.

We have China buying our farmlands (shame on whoever is selling to its interests), as I for one support our farmers 100%. The almighty dollar isn’t as important as the security of our country.

Democrats have so much hate that our president faces backlash every day. We couldn’t keep going down the path we were on with former President Joe Biden. Sure, things are still rocky, but President Donald Trump has only been in there for three months. Give him a chance! It will either be good or not.

And Elon Musk? Democrats hate him because they are afraid of losing their hold on institutional power. Our government is/ was too big and our tax money is being wasted on ridiculous things, both at home and abroad. It’s our money, which we all have worked hard for — well, most of us has.

I pray for our nation. Our democracy isn’t in trouble, it’s the people who can’t think for themselves and follow what’s right and wrong. Hate can spread like wildfire and choke out the love we hold in our hearts.

God bless our beautiful, wonderful country.
