To the editor:
In Trump’s second term, our country is saddled with high inflation, soaring gas prices, European allies turning against us, extreme narcissism (human cockfighting at the White House, anyone?), elevated racism, degradation of medical research and higher education, and a tacit “agreement” with Iran that is much weaker than the Obama agreement of 2015, which required multi-state inspections of Iran’s facilities.
The responsibility for this mess obviously belongs to Trump, but he did not run this country into the ditch alone. He was helped by his MAGA minions in Congress, not the least of which is our own Rep. Jack Bergman. According to Vote Hub, “Louisiana Jack” Bergman voted with Trump 100% of the time. Doesn’t matter the consequences to northern Michigan, Bergman gave a blank check to this administration. Want more access to broadband? Bergman voted against it. Cancer research? Nope. Infrastructure improvements? Nah, Bergman was against that too. Clean water, energy efficiency, rural hospitals, and strong relations with our immediate neighbors were all deemed unnecessary to Bergman. He swallowed the MAGA policies hook, line, and sinker.
