To whoever it was that sent me the letter: First, look up at my house. You'll notice that there are two (2) or more cameras aimed at you. Please leave this letter where you find it.
Thanks for sharing your feelings with me. Let me share mine with you. I assume that you support Harris and Walz and likely supported Biden 4 years ago. To me, this is at least as deeply offensive as my support of Mr. Trump seems to be to you. Neither of us has a monopoly on valid feelings. You don't believe that I--and many millions of other loyal Americans--can believe that Mr. Trump was and hopefully again will be good for our country, but we do.
We don't accept your characterization of our support as endorsing "...voter suppression, and authoritarianism, evoke fear and uncertainty for people who value equality, justice, and a fair democratic process...." Just the opposite: we believe that everyone qualified to vote should do just that. We also believe that people ~not~ qualified to vote shouldn't. That latter group includes the deceased, people who aren't registered to vote, and those who have already voted once. In what way would you say that Mr. Trump opposes a "fair democratic process"? I'd be happy to hear about that.
"I hope you’ll consider how seeing these signs day after day makes some of your neighbors feel— especially those who feel vulnerable or marginalized because of the divisive messages they convey."
Quite the opposite. It's obvious that Mr. Trump's first opponent on the national stage tried to disparage his supporters as being "an irredeemable basket of deplorables." How thoughtful.
I find your refusal to sign your letter to be pure cowardice. If you say something, own it. Don't slink around and refuse to admit who you are. Are you afraid that I might want to debate the claims in your letter with you? Are you so insecure in writing them down that any logical refutation of them might threaten your fragile belief system?
I remind you again: cameras are watching. Leave this up.
A very sinister letter. I'd have rather gotten one that flamed me for daring to place a Trump sign in my yard. Clothing this totalitarian, intolerant claptrap in the language of love and caring is a sign that we are dealing with cultists -- people who are deeply deluded and willing to use emotional manipulation to exercise dictatorial control over others.
I'd probably reply by putting up a sign saying

I could very easily see this happening 20 years ago, because the hatred for George W. Bush was intense.
Oi. I suppose that's Bloomington for you.
