Letter to the Editor: Martin A. Dyckman

Now that the House has impeached Donald Trump, the Senate needs to convict him in order to bar him from future office. Otherwise, he may purport to be running again in 2024, to the detriment of the nation and particularly the Republican Party. Both have already suffered massive damage from his malignant influence and lawless behavior.

It is hard to understand how any Jew could support someone whose Big Lie technique so closely resembles that of Adolf Hitler. We, of all people, should recognize the method and what it reveals about the character of the practitioner.

The biggest liars typically project their lies on others. Like Hitler accusing the Jews of practicing the Big Lie, Trump’s scheme to steal the 2020 election depended on deceiving millions of his followers into believing that the Democrats had stolen it.

It is also incomprehensible how any Jew could support a racist demagogue who invited white “nationalists” and outright Nazis to slither from under their rocks and bask in the sunshine of his approval. On his account, domestic terrorism is an even greater threat now than before the Electoral College overcame the popular vote four years ago.
