Editor, Gazette-Journal:

Thank you, God, for watching over this great nation and the common-sense American people who voted President Donald J. Trump back into the Oval Office. Like our president, America has just dodged a lethal bullet that was encased in the far-left socialist Democratic Party and the state-run media’s propaganda blitz of the last four years.

They have now proven what common-sense Americans have known all along. The state-run media, who are watched predominantly by left-leaning citizens, have lied to you, spread hatred, divisiveness, propaganda and covered every deceitful piece of “news” they could to further an anti-American, pro-socialist agenda.

CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, The View, Maddow, Morning Joe, Joy Reid and others have now exposed themselves for what they truly are. It’s not the Right that has spewed hatred, racism, class, gender and race warfare among its people; it’s been the Democratic Party leaders and their state-run media. Those listed above who called us racists, Nazis, deplorables and so many other demeaning names only need to look in the mirror to see that they are all the things they try to pin on the rest of the country.

These truly unstable individuals, watch and see. Remember this all started with Obama saying that the bad folks are the ones who cling to their Bibles and their guns. Yes, we do cling to our faith and our Constitution and will continue to do so whenever either is threatened. Don’t blame Trump or the Republican Party or conservatives, you folks have been hoodwinked by your own party and media, so don’t be so gullible in the future.

Finally, Trump will not be a dictator; he will gladly step down when his term is over. Trump will not persecute his enemies like they have tried to persecute him for the last eight years.

God bless President Trump and all those who love America, and I look forward to what this administration will accomplish over the next four years.
