Letter to the Editor
I sent this letter to the newspaper but they did not publish it.
Ever since Donald Trump won the election, liberals have done nothing but complain and attack him. But Mr. Trump and the Republicans have been making America great again. For instance, the mentally ill are now allowed to buy guns, mining companies can now dump coal ash into rivers, the EPA will become an advocate for the fossil fuel industry after finally realizing that climate change is a left-wing, liberal media hoax, and Muslims are now banned from entering the country from specified nations. Which is great because that feeds into the ISIS propaganda that the West does not want Muslims to be part of their societies. And that means more ISIS recruits, and therefore, more endless bombing. And that, of course, will make us safer.
And should the Republican health plan get through Congress, despite the obstructionist Democrats, Obamacare will be dismantled. But Republicans have done a great job with that already by blocking most of the risk corridor provisions - money set aside to help those insurance companies that wound up with the sickest Americans - forcing companies to drop out of the health care exchanges (and the GOP blamed it on Obama and Obamacare! Hehehe...). And by stripping Medicaid of proper funding and sending it back to the states, the system will crumble and millions will lose coverage, as will those with pre-existing conditions. So when the uninsured turn up up at emergency rooms, taxpayers will pay for their care out of pocket, which is what conservatives have been demanding ever since Obamacare was enacted.
Also, President Trump's FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is trying to remove net neutrality protections. If he can accomplish that, despite those pesky liberals on the FCC board, it would allow Internet Service Providers to deliberately slow Internet speeds to any or all web sites (for example, NBC-owned Comcast could throttle access to and from competing media sites such as CBS, ABC and Netflix). This way, ISP's can charge their customers extra to have those shackles removed.
Ever since Obama's FCC implemented net neutrality, I couldn't wait for it to be repealed because the Internet should have fast and slow lanes with tolls on the fast lanes. And thanks to President Trump, we could get the opportunity to pay them. Either that or surf the net with a narrowed bandwidth. Now, that's the freedom Donald Trump and Republican voters have been calling for ever since Obama was elected.
But wait, there's more!
For years, I wanted my internet provider to be able to sell my browsing history. I contacted my Congressman and Senators dozens of times because nothing was more important to Americans than putting our privacy up for sale. But now, thanks to Mr. Trump and the Republicans, ISP's will now be allowed to do so.
See liberals? This is how we make American great again. More guns in the hands of the mentally ill, more toxic pollutants in our air, lands and waters, have Big Oil set and enforce environmental policies and regulations, more terrorists to drop bombs on, more freedom for internet providers, and a return to our pre-Obamacare health care system when the free market was doing such a wonderful job.
And none of this would be happening if Hillary Clinton and her liberal, big government friends won in November.
So keep voting Republican so we can continue all this winning and make America even greater.
