To the Editor:

Martha Hodges typical trash-Trump piece of 7/8 does contain truths but should have been titled, “Not all North Country residents follow the crowd of the Socialist-Democrats.” On a regular basis she has attacked President Trump for years with the same media lies which eventually are proven wrong, ie, Russian conspiracies, racist, tax evasion, hate speech - ad nauseam! Like other Trump-haters, she should remove her truth-blinders and see what’s really happening in America, our beloved “land of the free” is being led into Marxism by looney, not-all-there Biden & Harris/Pelosi/Schumer.

Yes,

“some people justify illegal or harmful actions by claiming that everybody else is doing the same thing. A person who gets a kick out of picking on other people, cheating someone or breaking the law, hoping not to get caught, will feel comfortable with friends who act the same way. It’s that ‘follow the crowd’ mentality that makes people feel safe about pushing the boundaries of decency. It’s that ‘follow the crowd’ mentality that leads them to go along with trespassing and vandalizing the Capitol.”

Look what the Antifa-Black Lives Matter, Defund the Police anarchists have done to Democratic-run cities like, Portland, Seattle, New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, etc. – pillaging and murdering innocent people without any justice! An uncontained fire which won’t stop until put out.

“But not everybody in the North Country goes along with the crowd. They consult their conscience. I think there are plenty of people who object to language being used as a malicious weapon to hurt others. They follow the laws because laws are meant to prevent harm to fellow citizens and deter chaos in society…

Not everybody rejects a value system which honors human kindness, integrity and responsibility for one’s actions. Not everybody conveniently uses crowd mentality politics to excuse their behavior.”

In reality most Americans stand for truth, freedom, morality & justice and want to be able to receive these without being bullied, shamed, denied and censored from these inviolable rights! Stop blaming Trump; Democrats literally control what’s happening in America.
