To the editor: In 2011, neuroscientist Tali Sharot printed her e-book, “The Optimism Bias,” during which she identified that 80% of the folks in her examine confirmed a bias towards being optimistic. That is good in some ways, however it might probably result in not recognizing and due to this fact failing to behave towards threats. (“Election denial returns as focus with Vance’s ‘non-answer,’ new Trump indictment details,” Oct. 6)
I discover that we aren’t paying sufficient consideration to threats to the local weather and, extra instantly, the election.
Some organizations are scheming to seat Donald Trump even when he loses. The schemes embrace casting doubt by saying elections aren’t safe; selectively purging voter registrations; encouraging people to problem voter eligibility; and inspiring election officers to not certify election outcomes, which may consequence within the U.S. Supreme Court docket deciding the winner.
If the choice goes to the Supreme Court docket, I’m not assured in getting an neutral ruling. We should always all pause and ensure we aren’t overly optimistic about our future.

To the editor: In 2020, Trump was president. He was answerable for all of the regulation enforcement and intelligence companies of the federal authorities.

To the editor: Would you’ve gotten somebody to dinner along with your youngsters, your folks, your loved ones, who knowingly makes up tales to disparage minorities (“they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists”)? Takes credit score for issues he didn’t do ($35 insulin)? Is an accused serial sexual predator (E. Jean Carroll, Jessica Leeds and others)? Brags about assaulting ladies (“if you’re a star, they allow you to do it”)? Defrauds folks (Trump College)? Is a convicted felon (34 counts in New York)?
In all probability not. And but, some wish to have him signify our nation on the world stage. They need him to be president, once more.
He has proven us he doesn’t imagine within the rule of regulation, doesn’t imagine within the peaceable switch of energy and doesn’t imagine in democracy, and he has known as for suspending the Structure. How is it even conceivable that he’s a presidential candidate? He tried to overthrow our election.
He has instructed us he desires to be a dictator for a day. Isn’t that what the American Revolution was about? Eliminating a king?
