NEW YORK NIGHTS

We prefer not to go back and forth with letter-writers who disagree with our positions, but a recent writer has been particularly egregious in his claims of why we are wrong. He’s noted:

  • ‟America is not a “Democratic Republic.”
  • ‟There was a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election.”
  • ‟America has been in no wars since WWII, since that was the last time we officially declared war.”
  • ‟There is no evidence of the president enriching himself from his office.”

Now, some of these claims are over word usage and some are just foolish. Yet he blithely adds that, ‟If the president feels he was the true winner of the election, that’s his prerogative.” Well we’re sorry, but this ‟prerogative” was followed by a violent attempt to undo that election!

So we remind this letter-writer once again of why we need ‟No Kings Days”…we need them because Donald J. Trump thinks and acts like America is, in fact, a monarchy!
