To the editor: Aaron Mahan, the Las Vegas waiter who voted for President Trump twice earlier than 2024, is only one of tens of millions who will endure significantly by the administration’s actions (“This Las Vegas Republican had excessive hopes for Trump. However a ‘Trump droop’ made life worse,” Oct. 19).
He says he’s apolitical, which means that he didn’t pay a lot consideration to what goes on in Washington. That’s precisely the sort of voter the Republicans want of their quest to get rid of our democracy. Identical to the farmers who’re hurting, he needed to have identified from Trump’s first time period that many individuals had been going to endure if he had been elected once more. They didn’t care till it hit them.
It’s so unhappy to witness how the Republican Occasion was capable of infect extra of our society with their lack of empathy.

To the editor: In response to contributing author Josh Hammer, “the most important cause” Trump gained the 2016 Republican major is “he noticed the American folks as they’re, and he sought to serve them” (“The Democrats’ self-defeating shutdown is horrible politics,” Oct. 17).
I agree. Over the last election, calling out the excessive worth of eggs was sufficient to win.
Now, most individuals I do know are like Mahan, working tougher for much less with their anxiousness compounded by considerably larger prices, particularly for medical insurance. Might that be why weeks into the “Democrats’ shutdown,” so many attended “No Kings” protests?
If the administration actually desires to “serve” the folks, swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva. However phrase on the road is Republicans gained’t do this as a result of she could be the vote that releases the federal information on Jeffrey Epstein. I believe Individuals agree we don’t need our elected officers defending pedophiles. What are Hammer’s ideas on that?
