Megan Schrader’s call for Trump protests is dangerous (Letters)

Calling for Trump protests dangerous and met with pessimism Re A common cause What would it really take to force Trump to resign June commentary Using the example of a protest in Puerto Rico with a population less than of the U S total where more than million people protested for days and nights banging pots and pans over what they felt were disgusting messages is a poor example to use when calling for millions of Americans to protest over illegal migrant rights in our country That aside as a moderate independent voter I find it disturbing that a major newspaper editor would call a sitting president a danger to our economic activity a threat to our freedoms an ally to our enemies and a constant source of lies and misinformation That language combined with the intent to incite millions of Americans to take to the streets by calling for a protest over a controversial political position that millions of conservatives endorsement is dangerous given the extremely polarized politics we have in contemporary times One may want and even call for a peaceful protest but realistically we cannot expect millions of Donald Trump supporters who voted him into office to idly stand by and not counter-protest Riots destruction injuries and deaths would seem inevitable And at the end of the day does anyone really believe that a protest such as Megan Schrader calls for would indeed convince Trump to resign Jim Malec Roxborough Park I read the article Sunday about what it might take to peacefully depose President Donald Trump Finding a core value right now in the United States would be very tough Using Puerto Rico s demonstrations doesn t seen to rise to the level we need It is a small island with nothing like the population of the mainland United States A small island could easily find core values and share them among one another They are small We are large Do you think book burning would do it No we ve already had that How about bodily autonomy Nope we had it and didn t like it First and Fifth Amendment rights are gone folks Voting rights are being erroded How about a full-blown concentration camp Been there done that at Amache in Colorado during WWII Perhaps gas chambers What stopped the Nazis from destroying Europe The violent intervention of the U S armed forces What kept the Confederate states from forming their own country The violent Civil War fought to keep our nation whole I don t think we have any core values any longer I m definitely not advocating for another civil war but I m not sure banging drums and pans outside Mar-a-lago is going to solve our difficulty Our democracy is great but can we keep it Betty Green Colorado Springs No King s Day was a representation of liberals as self-absorbed ideological and self-deluded Liberals who suck at the teat of a pathetic liberal mouthpiece like The Denver Post are nothing more than useful idiots to the left ideology They ve been indoctrinated by left-leaning schools woke companies and liberal news outlets Donald Trump a king Give me a break Trump is the only thing keeping this country from descending into a socialistic pathetic shadow of itself Related Articles Did the media over- or underreport No Kings and Trump s Army parade Letters How President Trump s shifting deportation push has played out in Colorado There s no small moves Safeway workers strike expands to stores in Castle Rock and Littleton people arrested in Denver after No Kings protests police say PHOTOS No Kings protest in Denver draws thousands Thank you Jack from Aurora and Kay from Denver The military parade celebrating our armed forces was awesome and the No Kings protests were pathetic Scott Gardner Aurora Just a correction the author wrote a man who took office with the sponsorship of a majority of American voters In fact Trump did not win with a majority of the votes Less than of the voters marked his name on the ballot More people voted for someone else than voted for Trump by about votes Fred Waiss Prairie du Chien Wis When both sides agree to be angry with the messenger Re Readers question coverage of No Kings protests and Trump s parade celebrating Army June letters to the editor After reading the Open Forum letters criticizing The Post for its coverage of the military parade and the No Kings protests I think you should be proud of your reporting Ticking off both sides of this issue means you re doing something right Steve Titus Boulder Skilled reporter retains excellence even as Rockies falter Re Owner now sober says Rox need fresh eyes June sports story Patrick Saunders just anchored himself as the best sports journalist in the Rocky Mountain region with his news-breaking article and interviews with Charlie and Dick Monfort Not only did Saunders obtain an interview with the Monforts which no one else has done during this abysmal Rockies season but he presented the information with journalistic integrity objectivity and honesty It is rather unfortunate that Saunders has been relegated to doing most of of the beat coverage of the Rockies during this stretch of bad baseball but his reporting and weekly analysis is invariably spot-on while never pulling punches as it were With no quarter to rant on with the opinion columnists Saunders has been the one voice covering the crew that is preponderance reliable unbiased yet critically minded about the Rockies shortcomings There is no other local or regional journalist who provides Rockies fans with insight information and analysis like Patrick Saunders While other local publications often run Associated Press coverage of Rockies games Saunders provides fans with hometown flavor despite often being unable to cover road games in person What Patrick Saunders has done with his latest piece is award-winning journalism It represents the best of what he does amidst the troubled times of the company he covers Kudos to Patrick Saunders Hopefully the dreadful baseball he covers does not prompt him to switch to another sport Rockies fans and the Rocky Mountain Region need him on the baseball beat Dan Sage Centennial If indeed it is tough to play in Denver because of the altitude then we should win every home competition The visiting teams do not train here nor are they used to the mile-high issues Shirley Schley Denver Colorado Republican congressional delegation all in on harming vulnerable citizens Re Tax bill Assessment rural hospitals in state could close June news story In her article writer Meg Wingerter addressed the appalling possibility of Colorado losing six rural hospitals should the Republicans so-called One Big Beautiful Bill be approved as is by the Senate She did an excellent job explaining how this would impact thousands of Coloradans She did not mention that all of Colorado s Republican congressional representatives voted Yes on this bill demonstrating their willingness to rip wellness care from the the majority vulnerable and their utter disregard about the impact of doing this oh and add billions of dollars to the U S deficit along the way But in her article Wingerter referred to the left-leaning Urban Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and their analysis of the bill s impact I cannot help but wonder why that descriptor was needed Was this to suggest that they couldn t be trusted that their analysis was somehow tainted And does that mean that The Denver Post will continue to use the description left-leaning and its corollary right-wing in all articles If so why isn t this damaging bill described as right-wing Christine Soto Denver When will majority of GOP admit polling results Re Lindell now owes Dominion executive million for his lies but his con continues June commentary Rarely have I agreed with Krista Kafer but it is for that reason that I am responding to her Electoral contest lies column in last Sunday s Perspective section of The Denver Post Even at present over half the Republican Party still believes the presidential polling was stolen by Joe Biden In Oklahoma they are trying to add that theory to the curriculum they are teaching their students MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell speaks during a news

among others was to make sure the vote results were fair veritably lost his job for daring to speak up saying the voting process was one of the majority of accurate elections in the history of our country Even as Donald Trump has started his second term in office he continually says he won the vote Mike Lindell the My Pillow Guy in recent months lost a defamation suit against Eric Coomer the former safeguard director for Dominion Voting Systems Rather than be contrite he doubled down on his lie When are the majority of Republicans going to in the end acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the poll and move on Only then can this country start to heal The No Kings protests were a start Let s hope it is only the beginning and we truly start to believe the emperor has no clothes because he
