Stand up for America

The article regarding fire-bombing of Democratic HQ Downtown Spokane in this morning’s paper (“Suspected arsonist at Democrats HQ was after ‘elites,’,” Dec. 11) isn’t something that should be happening in America.

We’re this great democracy, remember? We have enough other enemies without fighting or trying to destroy each other. I have been a Republican all my life but I’m now really sorry and embarrassed to say so. I hope the Republican quest for power — abandoning all the things that really do make American great — is worth this. It looks like to me following Trump is simply taking us down a rathole.

When someone gets killed or hurt, Republicans, don’t get in front of the cameras to tell us how sorry you are because by then it’s too late. Time for all of us to stand up for America and stop destroying it.
