What happened to decorum in politics?

| November 23, 2023 12:00 AM

Open letter to Senator Daines and Representative Zinke:

I am not vermin. I am not a thug. I am not radical.

Yet in his Veteran's Day speech that is literally what Donald Trump called me and other voters who oppose him.

I am your constituent and I expect you to stand up for me and other Montanans who don't support treating anyone like vermin. I expect you and the Republican party to rein in speech by any member of the Republican party that prods disgust for, and violence against, opponents.

What happened to decorum in politics? In silence is an unholy alliance.
