Please support democracy when you vote this year
Letter to the Editor :
With the 45 saying he will not accept the election result if he loses , there will be those who say do not believe all you hear . Well , when you see many Republican political leaders saying it is only rhetoric , we had better believe it .
McConnell and other Republicans are saying there will be a peaceful transition of leadership .

Up to this point , they have supported 45 through a denial of military help to Ukraine , his bashing of Obamacare and many of his policies . With all

respect to Trump supporters , I have had conversations with a number of those who voted for Trump but say they cannot vote for him again .
I have always had a belief that his supporters were largely so because of anti-abortion . There is overwhelming evidence that overturning Roe will revert abortion to the state legislatures . A stronger conservative court will not solve the abortion issue . I for one do not support abortion , but there are about 22 states , though , that have put some limitations on abortion , but there are at least 15 other states that have passed laws that protect a woman ’ s right to choose . One can google articles on what the effects of overturning Roe would be .
Then just recently

Trump supposedly signed an executive order regarding healthcare with no details other than it was with people in medical dress standing behind him . Then he also is reportedly sending medical coupons to seniors to woo their vote .
If any of our former presidents had said they would not accept the results if they lost , what would have been America ’ s reaction ? I do not believe any Trump supporters would believe they would like to live in a dictatorship like Russia , China or some Venezuelatype society . So I say 45 supporters , either Democrats , Republicans or independents , please wake up and support democracy . Martin Baumgardner Warsaw
