Letter: Enough with the political vitriol from everyone

Posted April 17, 2023 1:00 am

Am I the only person who is sick and tired of all the political slamming that goes on constantly? From political parties right on down to the every day citizen it never stops or even eases up. I can't read a newspaper (especially the syndicated columnists and individual letters) without being exposed to political vitriol. And without being quite as vile, the same is true with TV news, talk shows and internet news. Has anyone ever heard the saying that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing? This is especially true when it comes to Donald Trump. Don't the people who hate (and I do mean hate) him realize the more they carry on about him the more it feeds his ego and promotes his cause? Politics has split families. They can no longer have a conversation if they don't share the same political beliefs. I am just about ready to cancel my newspaper subscription and stop watching the news. Please stop this ridiculous nonsense and put your energy to the many good causes which could use your help. I'm sure they would love to have your energy and enthusiasm for their causes.
