To the Editor:
This year, the USA is facing a far greater danger to our democracy than it did in WW2 or at any other time, including the Civil War.
Our involvement in WW2 mostly took place in the European and Pacific theatres. The continental USA and it’s institutions were never effectively attacked.
Likewise, during the Civil War, the South was never on the verge of defeating the North, and even if it had successfully seceded it wouldn’t have had the resources or will to do anything more than protect its rights to have slaves.
But today, everything our country has ever stood for is under attack, and it’s come from within. The evidence is blatant, voluminous and available to anyone interested in facts. The re-election of Trump and his lackeys will do what WW2 and the Civil War couldn’t: Destroy our democracy.
However, this is apparently what most South Dakotan voters want. Surely they’re not naïve enough to anticipate any other result.
