To the editor:
Aug. 15, 2017, is the day the game changed. (“Trump doubles down on his irresponsible, inexcusable comments about Charlottesville,” editorial, Aug. 15)
Before, our president had been the butt of late-night jokes. On Tuesday, he became a dangerous person. His emboldening of Nazi sympathizers should be a warning to us all.
There was a time when Americans were morally united. We sent our American brothers to fight against evil, and we became heroes because of it. Those days are gone.
Trump’s vague, wishy-washy attitude toward blatant hatred just changed the game. This is serious now. The Nazis are united and organizing, and we, the morally decent, the ones who have not forgotten history, need to be united and organized as well.
It’s time to get serious. This is no longer a joke.
