In another one of the illuminating and passionate letters to the editors of Villages-News.com, MAGA Villager Sandy Cruty on Tuesday wrote that it’s “So amazing to see all the flags being flown for Memorial Day. Disgusting that there will be another protest about Trump. Grow up people. You didn’t see conservatives protesting sleepy Joe Biden, god knows there was a lot to protest. This country was in a mess and Trump is working day and night to fix it. So stand in the hot sun with your insulting signs and miss a good time in The Villages,” the link to the May 24th article “Villagers to join in ‘No Kings’ protest on Trump’s birthday,” apparently added by Cruty herself in her email.
It’s not clear if printing this letter and others like it is in itself an act of deliberate malice and contempt towards their readers by the staff at Villages-News, although that seems almost as plausible a motivation as an absence of one in that they blithely publish whatever doesn’t contain racial slurs and profanity. Without samples of their rejections it’s impossible to know for certain, but it’s just as difficult to imagine an editor of sound mind and who shares the same views looking at this and saying “Yeah, I agree. Those socialists are disgusting and no Trump voters ever protested ‘sleepy’ Joe Biden’s presidency. This is an extremely solid argument and it doesn’t make my fellow Trump voters look like childish simpletons constantly feeling victimized by everyone else.”
Could very well be that the editor instead just laughed audibly at the letter and published it to the website, understanding that whatever work might’ve been required in other contexts to make Trump voters come across as mentally damaged freaks had already been handed right to them in this one.
