To young voters

February 25, 2025 by Guest Post

by Thomas P. Tunny, Hamilton

I understand that you don’t read newspapers very much anymore, but I hope somehow this message gets to you through social media or word of mouth.

The recent election in which Donald Trump was declared President of the United States is proving to be the disaster that he promised it would be.

I bet many of you chose him because you were tired of the same old system and the same old politicians running the country. Well, you got your wish!

But, Donald Trump is no ordinary politician. He is a destroyer, an anarchistic hustler, who has no interest in the democratic process, but only wants to be Ruler.

I see in the most recent polls that young people are becoming disillusioned and having second thoughts with what they see happening under Mr. Trump‘s Rule (he is a ruler, not a leader!)

I can’t say that he didn’t warn us. He made it very clear through Project 2025 what he was going to do if he came to power… again…and he is doing it!

Our only hope now for your future in a free and open society is to stand up to this bully.

It is your future that we are talking about. I am an old guy with not that many years left, but I worry about you and I worry about my kids and grandkids after Donald Trump gets through dismantling the government of the United States and our way of life.

Help yourselves… and help us. I only hope it is not too late.

    A “free and open society”, how about a salute to George Soros while you’re at it. Please tell your young voters about this philanthropist and his “Open Society”, the guy that broke the Bank of England just because he could. The days are over where one man could control information and thus the populace…let the dismantling begin.
