LETTER: Keep protesting

I was in downtown Port Angeles on Monday and caught a brief glimpse of the protest in front of the courthouse.

I understand similar protests against Trump, Musk and attempts to cut the size of government occurred throughout the country.

I’m all for more protests. Keep it up. Maybe make it at least a monthly event. That way, the taxpayers and voters in the country will fully understand that the Democrat Party is the party of big government.

They are the party of bloated, unresponsive deep state bureaucracies. They are the party of waste, fraud and abuse. They are the party of illegal immigration. They are the party of soft-on-crime policies.

Were those winning positions in 2024?

Many of the protesters were complaining that Musk was not elected. True, but last I looked, only a little more than 500 federal officials are elected. That leaves about 2,870,000 who aren’t.

But Musk.

Keep throwing public hissy fits and tantrums like disappointed 2-year-olds. It will only help Republicans make further gains in the House and Senate in 2026 and 2028 and elect another Republican as president in 2028.

Keep up the good work.
