Letter to the editor Voice of the people Thinks the Republican Party has changed

Trump on likely impeachment: Do it fast. He’s not worried about because he knows the Republicans most likely will vote not to impeach him. The Republican Party has changed from the Family Value Party to being anything but conser- vative. Some are even calling the party a Russian asset (Republican Senator Kennedy of LA., shar- ing Russian propaganda, live on TV). According to a group of conservative lawyers, Conservatism is respect for the rule of law. The people who call themselves conservatives today are demanding loyalty to Trump. This administration is anything but conservative. The Republicans say because he was elected by the people, he’s doing the will of the people. Do the people think the abuse of power by Trump is the will of the people? According to Pelosi, if he committed these offenses, he’s eligible for impeachment if 100% of the people voted for him. How can Trump MAGA when 47% of the people think he should be impeached and removed from office, against 43% who say he shouldn’t. How can Trump MAGA great again when he warms to the dictators and tries to destroy the people who are against him? Namaste Trump wants to be president forever, like a dictator.
