Time to reject the Great Awfulizer

| September 18, 2024 1:00 AM

The recent Presidential debate revealed two very different visions for the future. Trump’s description of our country as being in decline, dying, failing and having gone to hell is in stark contrast to my own. His dark, dystopian world view is the same old message he has trumpeted in past elections. It is time to reject the Great Awfulizer and look toward a brighter future filled with hope, compassion and bringing people together and not tearing them apart. Montanans are more concerned about high taxes, childcare, affordable housing, healthcare and the ability to make decisions about our bodies without government intrusion. Falsehoods about millions of insane immigrants flooding our state, ridiculous claims of dog eating and who is using what bathroom are simply diversions that must be rejected.  Enough of the childish name calling and degrading comments. The Great Awfulizer’s tactics intend to scare us and are not based on fact. 

Voting for Harris/Walz, Tester, Tranel and Busse are votes for the future and not the failed policies of the past.
