Trump reaction was simple, powerful
I want to commend the Observer-Reporter for finding a simple, powerful way to react to the president-elect’s victory in the Electoral College.
In this political season, fake news from Macedonia was given equal weight with solid reporting, and every norm of civil discourse was violated. Words – thoughtfully chosen and based in reality – have failed. Your editorial was a graphic depiction of the gaping hole in our body politic.
Wherever we fall on the political spectrum, we have a responsibility to look hard at what this means for our future.
