Dear Editor: The biggest problem with democracy is that an ill-informed and poorly educated electorate can vote their way into tyranny in a single election. That election is upon us. The Democratic party and its disastrous socialist ideas will destroy our wonderful, unique nation. They seek a one-party state with no room for opposing opinions.

This election is not about Trump or Biden, it is about our freedom and liberty versus the Marxist model of the state making all decisions for…
