Letter: A myopic, moronic miscreant is orchestrating democracy’s downfall

The downfall of our democracy is imminent. It may not happen today or tomorrow, and it won’t be an event, but rather a slow and steady decline into a morass of intolerance and irrational fear, until hatred and distrust of our countrymen become the norm.

When Americans send pipe bombs to their fellow citizens just for having a difference of opinion, can total anarchy be far behind? When the supposed leader of the free world condones violence and contempt, the nobler principles of freedom and equality will surely perish.

I look at what is happening in our once-great country and all I can see is rancor, division and discontent, all promulgated by a myopic, moronic miscreant.
