Diane K24: You know, the year I was born, Tom Dewey and Harry S Truman were running.

Now there was an element even then that created an awful Red Scare, which Arthur Miller addressed in his "Crucible" -- I really, really recommend the film version with such actors as Paul Scofield, Joan Allen, and Winona Ryder.

My whole childhood in the 1950s was conscious of Dwight David Eisenhower as President.

But the state of the Republican Party is dangerous for our country.

We REALLY do need TWO responsible political parties capable of producing statesmen.

Right now, there is only ONE party that produces statesmen of stature.

And education is not the problem. So many of the worst race-baiting comes from Ivy League educated Republican leaders.

They really catapult the country in a dangerous situation and are morally responsible for so much propagation of bigotry and violence.

Your target is exactly correct: The vast disinformation network of the GOP.

What you do and say in your column is very important. I really, really appreciate you.

It has been reported that Trump's first wife Ivanna claimed that he had a copy of Hitler's writings by his bedside.

Former Member of Parliament Matthew Parris, in his book "Scorn", includes the following quotes from Hitler's "Mein Kampf":

"The broad mass of a nation … will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."

"Only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd".

Ring a bell?
