Dear editor,
I would just like to remind everyone that spring is upon us, a time when things take root.
It reminds me of how vicious words can grow and spread like poison ivy. Once planted they take a life of their own.
Political I may be, but, I cannot throw hate at those who are on the opposite side of the fence. I will stand down and agree to disagree and if asked, I will give reasons. When the election between Trump and Hillary occurred, hate abounded, destroying friendships and families.
The main perpetrator was social media, which I do believe it was intentional. I can see that Twitter has allowed bots in an attempt to rile political parties.
I have shied away from Facebook and Twitter. The only news station I watched was NewsMax and now DirecTV has removed that channel because they could not come to a financial agreement. I call “hogwash” on that because Newsmax was the only news station that would show former President Trump’s speechs.
I hope that everyone has a lovely day and rememeber what you read on social media is generally not true.
— Alzina Kress,
Iola, Kan.
