Letter: Republicans are masters of the fear response

Rep. Chris Stewart’s recent speech at the Sutherland Institute, as reported by The Tribune, contained a mind-boggling amount of fear-mongering. I believe a significant percentage of our population is highly susceptible to fear-mongering and incapable of recognizing it, and as a result continually votes against their own best interests.

Stewart referenced Germany. I have worked for a German company for over 20 years and I have many German friends. I see the effects of the evil, German “socialist” system of government. I see happy and industrious people who greatly enjoy their government-mandated six weeks per year of vacation.
