LETTER: Unreal abounds on national stage

So let’s say that I promised you all the extra canned goods in my pantry because I know that you and your family are starving.

Then let’s say that we are having a telephone conversation, and you are asking me when you are going to get the food.

I respond immediately with, “I’m going to need a favor from you though.”

In what universe is it not perfectly clear from that conversation that your getting the canned goods is dependent on you doing me the favor I’m going to ask?

In what alternate universe did America’s Founding Fathers set up three co-equal branches of personal loyalty to Donald Trump?

Which of the 10 Commandments are evangelicals and self-professed Christians obeying when they fully support someone as morally bankrupt and as godless as Donald Trump?

What twisted logic is being used by a nation of immigrants and descendants of immigrants to blame all their troubles on immigrants?

When did it become OK for a president to openly solicit personal political help and interference in our elections from the leaders of other countries?

When did our allies become enemies and our enemies become role models?

When did Putin get put in charge of America?

It’s as if a rift in the space-time continuum has opened above America and a bizarre alternate universe is leaking through — probably where Fox News came from.

It is not a huge divide in ideology that is destroying America, it is a battle between reality and anti-reality.
