Letter to the editor: Post-election promise-breaking time
After watching all the campaign ads over the past few months and the winners having been chosen, we now signal the beginning of the period known as the “breaking of promises.”
“I” is replaced by “we” as you go off to your House or Senate chamber to find that both are controlled by a handful of people and your office may be a broom closet. You’ll learn you are the window dressing that is brought out on occasion to vote as you’re told and, like the oysters Lewis Carroll wrote about, you are the dinner. Independent thoughts are dangerous.
It’s probably for the best, as watching your terrifying ads (believing every one) I’m now confident we have elected someone who either tortures dogs, or is a tax cheat, a fascist, communist, socialist, Confederate sympathizer, anti-American, radical or neo-Nazi, who is coming for us. Don’t laugh, it must be true, because I saw it on TV and the internet, where everything is 100% factual.
So thank you to all for all that, and for terrorizing us with your dozens of daily mailings, ads and speeches and for helping us understand via those ads that you are all monsters, apparently. More frightening than anything conjured up during Halloween.
So we’re convinced to go forward in fear of you and what you are going to do to us. Keep in mind, however, that your team loves you, and will support your every move (as long as you obey). Prove me wrong.
