To the editor:

I applaud your decision to turn over your Opinion page to letters from Trump supporters. As a staunch, lifelong Democrat, I was eager to learn how people can admire an individual who (to me) is so abhorrently dishonest, self-centered and ignorant.

Instead of reasoned arguments, however, what I found were fact-twisting rationalizations and mental contortions aimed at painting Trump as a defender of religious liberty (tell that to Muslims or other non-Christians); a godsend for investors (because he didn’t crash the vibrant Obama economy); a genius who “puts money in the pockets of working people” (in an era with the widest wealth gap ever); a mastermind of science (as COVID-19 surges and the climate careens toward apocalypse); and, jaw-droppingly, someone in possession of a “sense of humor” (evidenced, I suppose, by his mocking the disabled and spewing childish insults).

Rather than provide enlightenment, what these letters showed me was the extremes to which people will go to justify their biases and ideology.

Here is John Nolte's latest column.

Re “Shut out by Trump, Biden team losing time to coordinate shot distribution” (Page A1, Nov. 18): For more than 200 years, the United States has enjoyed a peaceful transfer of power between the presidents. There is no law that says that that has to happen, but all those before Donald Trump have graciously stepped aside for the good of the country.

Until now.

Since there is no law that mandates that Trump concede the election, he hasn’t. Why? Because he doesn’t want to, and the Republican-controlled Senate is too afraid of him to show him the door.

So now Congress will need to pass a law that mandates a peaceful transfer of power. Another irony from the Republican Party that believes in less regulation. We shouldn’t need a transfer-of-power law any more than we should need antipollution laws, but sadly we do.

…Why won’t they do it, and why are they so fast to certify a meaningless tally?
