It all comes back
Editor, The Commercial:
An article in the Sept. 28 Democrat-Gazette tells us that farmers are having psychological problems while facing financial pressures. Seventy-nine percent of them voted for Trump the third time, as did 83% of evangelicals who call themselves “Christian.” Sounds to me like many had some delusions for several years.
Trump’s tariffs and a lot of other chaotic executive orders destroyed their markets, raised costs of “inputs,” messed with financing systems, and in many other ways wreaked havoc in our country. They’re having “buyer’s remorse”; having given such power to a proven narcissistic, lying and corrupt autocrat.
Many of the referenced people are indirectly responsible for Trump’s depredations and those of his cabal against us and what was the best government known worldwide. He’s diligently destroying our democracy and agencies it is based upon — universities, cultures, historical records, and anything else that doesn’t “ALIGN WITH TRUMP’S PRIORITIES!”

So perhaps these massive screw-ups and hypocritical actions taken repeatedly by credulous folks that are bringing chaos and hardship on us all, can be used to teach them better ways. Karma has been part of the lives of us all during recorded history.
Whether it be good or bad, what we do comes back to us. Sow to the wind and reap the whirlwind. Wielding power to harm or oppress the vulnerable and defenseless will come back to bite you. What one refuses to learn from history, must and will be learned in the brutal throes of experience!
