In response to the Op-ed, “Dems love reminding us of bad racial history” (June 3) by Cal Thomas and an apparent swan song by Lee Elci, “I presented different views, but probably didn’t change minds” (June 2), I would say: Ya’ll had the wheel for the last four years and what did we get from it? Obscenely wealthy CEOs, and double the national debt, over half a million deaths from a disease the president said could be treated with injected bleach, weakened alliances as our traditional partners came to doubt we would stand with them in a crisis, leaks in national security as our president had confidential phone calls with an avowed enemy of the United States, the worst race riots since the late '60s, Black men being killed at an alarming rate, and a bucket full of lies. More lies than we could even pay attention to. And finally, a full-blown attempt to overturn a fair election through a riot assembled by and encouraged by the former president.

Insurrection? I think not. Just bitter losers believing his white supremacist rants.

So, did Lee Elci or Cal Thomas change my mind? Not just no, but hell no!
