The July 9 letter from Randall Jordan just made my head spin (“Republican Party of SLO responds to ‘eradicate MAGA’ remarks”). He objects to the SLO Democratic Party that stated MAGA should be “eradicated from every corner of our democracy.”
He goes on to pontificate about believing that “democracy is strongest when competing ideas are debated openly.” Is he not aware that the leader of his party is actively prosecuting people who disagree with him?
He goes on to talk about how the “SLO County Republican Party remains committed to defending the constitutional rights of every American and ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to be heard.” This is completely at odds with the actions of the Republican Party nationally, as it moves to eliminate minority congressional districts and restrict voting rights.
