Letter to the editor: ‘Know-Nothings’ make a return
Let’s take a look at history.
In the 1840s there was a political party called “The Know-Nothing Party.” It slowly faded away, or did it?
While watching the debate on September 10th and listening to Donald Trump perform, I realized that “The Know-Nothing Party” is, indeed, back.
Look beyond the candidates and check out with whom they surround themselves. Trump and his cronies are totally out-of-touch with reality.
This country can’t afford any more of Trump’s warped and frightening visions.
