Dear Mr. Friedman,
Aggressive Bolshevism is the cause of the current strife. Bolshevism which the New York Times newspaper largely supports.
That Bolshevism has pushed the American people before it for many decades, and it should come as no surprise that the result is a spring-like compression which has stored energy pending the release of its rebound.
Want an end to the tensions? Convince the multitude of Bolsheviks in academia to leave our schools and universities.
Want an end to the tensions? Convince the multitude of Bolsheviks in the so-called “news” media to quit their positions as anti-American propogandists and find honest jobs.
Want an end to the tensions? Shut off the flow of money from Bolshevik “philanthropists” to anti-American “activists” and their front groups.
You can add "vote-tampering" to that list.
