Letter: What has happend to North Dakota’s Republican Party?

What in God’s inexperienced earth has occurred to the North Dakota Republican Social gathering? The North Dakota GOP, the social gathering of Milton Younger and Mark Andrews. Civilized Conservatives. Now that the primaries are over, check out the candidates operating for places of work on the Republican poll, candidates who had been on the Jan. 6 rebel, saying they need to have achieved extra; candidates who weren’t on the rebel however advocated for it and are actually calling for a civil conflict. My mom would say,” Why, they’ve fallen off their rocker.” Civilized North Dakotan Republicans, for goodness sake, it’s good to cross over and vote Democrat.

As I’ve said earlier than I’m a Democrat. My nice grandfather who homesteaded the farm I stay on was a follower of William Jennings Bryon. My grandfather was a member of the Nonpartisan League, later becoming a member of the North Dakota Democratic NPL Social gathering. My father served on the board of the native Farmers Union Elevator and was a member of the North Dakota Democratic NPL Social gathering.

My grandfather advised me how fantastic it was when the REA, Rural Electrical Affiliation, introduced electrical energy to the farm and he might milk cows at evening with gentle from an electrical gentle within the barn as an alternative of a kerosene lamp by his milk stool. You could have Republicans that will now scream, “that’s a Socialistic program,” and vote to dam it. My different grandfather, who homesteaded in western Benson County, advised me how nice it was when the Farmers Union Central Trade began a coop program to market cattle for members. He didn’t should journey the Soo Line Railroad cattle automotive to St Paul to market his cattle, one other program some present Republicans would scream socialistic. I’ve acquaintances who’re farmers who inform me they’re no socialistic Democrat. However they take part and obtain fee from one of many largest socialistic packages on the earth, Federal Crop Insurance coverage. I imply, you’re speaking a couple of Norway and Sweden kind program. They cry it needs to be doing extra.

North Dakota Republicans, civilized conservatives, it’s good to cross over and vote Democrat till you may rid your social gathering of those extremists.
