Dear Editor,
I’m a conservative independent. In my voting life I cannot recall independents, Libertarians, or Republicans rioting and destroying property simply because their candidate lost a presidential election. Am I wrong here?
My reaction to the violent protests and riots which flared after the Trump win? Anger and disgust at the moronic ignorance of these idiots. Good grief! Life is hard, but it’s even harder when you’re stupid. Your candidate lost! Grow up!
To the jackasses who would burn the Stars and Stripes: any American who does this requires a serious attitude adjustment.
I’ve ran out of printable adjectives, so have a good day.
God bless America, and God bless our military.
