Opinion: Finding it hard to forgive Trump voters

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 31, 2024

I work hard to maintain some sense of respect and understanding for those with views that differ from mine. However, in this election, I have a great difficulty forgiving anyone who votes for Donald Trump. Despite all the talk of immigration and inflation, climate change is by far the biggest challenge facing our nation (and world). Trump thinks climate change is a hoax and wants to roll back every microstep that we’ve taken in the right direction in recent years. To me, these assertions amount to a crime against humanity, because his choices will literally lead to the deaths of millions of people in the next decades. ~ Willa Brown, Georgetown
