Trump Reset II: Wiscasset Newspaper Edition
TL/DR –
The article is a letter to the editor named Joe Grant from Wiscasset expressing his political views and concerns. He criticizes an advertisement from the Republican party that points out issues such as economic instability, inflation, endless foreign wars, jobs leaving America, open borders, and more, and encourages a reset by voting for Trump in the next election. Furthermore, he mentions a rebuttal to the ad that encourages constitutional changes, and asserts that an attack on the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Supreme Court is an attack on freedoms.
Republican Ad Raises Concerns About Current Political Landscape
A recent paid Republican ad in the LCN highlighted 22 pressing issues, some of which pose challenges to our Constitution and the economic stability of the nation. The ad points out problems such as inflation, ongoing foreign wars, anti-police sentiment, a flawed justice system with a revolving door for criminals, and jobs leaving America. It also criticizes open borders, significant spending on undocumented immigrants, insufficient support for veterans, weak protection for the unborn, human and child trafficking, and an underperforming education system. The severity of these issues has arguably increased in the past four years.
Rebuttal of Republican Ad Calls for Change
In response to the Republican ad, a rebuttal was published that advocates for constitutional changes, including stripping legal protections from former presidents and eliminating the electoral college. The counterargument endorsed the Inflation Reduction Act, criticized Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery, addressed the topic of Christian Nationalism, and discussed concerns about the marginalization of Muslims, book burning, and abortion rights.
Trump’s Administration vs. Current Policies
The rebuttal also posits that despite the 22 concerns raised by the Republican ad being seen as misrepresentations and distortions, Trump should not be reelected. Instead, it suggests maintaining the current administration and its policies. However, threats to our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Supreme Court should be a cause for concern, as they are critical safeguards of our freedoms.
Reflecting on 2020
Considering the state of the world in 2020, a time of relative peace, secure borders, low inflation, reduced taxes, affordable living, and hope – the contrast with the present may be seen as a stark one. Assessment of government data, wages, employment, home ownership, and even life expectancy could suggest that we were better off and safer then. If a reset is desired, the choice is in the hands of the voters.
