Editor, Ceres Courier,

 I am used to the far-left opinion pieces published by many newspapers. However, the column by Mark Barabak, “Trump wins and it’s a dark night for America’s soul,” goes too far.

This is the first time in three election cycles that I actually voted for President-elect Trump, because I feared a Kamala Harris presidency more than him.

The left has only President Biden to blame. If he had stayed the course and governed as the one-term president he strongly suggested he’d be, the Democrats likely would have found a better candidate to run against Trump. Instead of lauding Biden for choosing to “pass the torch” when he did, we should blame him and his party for leaving us with a Hobson’s choice between Harris and Trump.

That said, the people have spoken, and Trump is our president again.
