To the editor: We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis, while President Trump and Elon Musk try to destroy the separation of powers and havoc on the federal government, cheered by a congress of the Republican party without thorns. And yet, the Times choose to print another comment by Josh Hammer, focusing on the out of synchronization Democratic Party (“Democrats are being dangerously synchronized with the American people”, March 6).
Articles like these, although they seem superficially to reflect an “both sides” approach, sharing the page with a “liberal” vision, only dangerously distorting the political landscape in what is the most dangerous moment since the civil war.
What is needed is the truth. Is the Democratic Party that is out of synchronization?
Consider: Hammer focused largely on gender identity problems. Gender is a problem among many. In reality, surveys constantly reflect that the Democratic Party is much more aligned with the desires and priorities of the general public than the Republican Party: in the regulation sensitive to arms, fighting climate change, than the rich and corporations pay their fair part of taxes, reproductive rights, preserve the security network for older people and those who need, do not align with the dictators They protect our health and public welcome and the health public.
In fact, I agree that my party has taken gender problems too far, and many Democrats feel the same. But for the Republican party, it has been a gift that continues to give, since they use it incessantly, and the cultural war in general, to distract the American public from what they are really doing, and that, in reality, the public does not want.

To the editor: Apparently, Hammer thinks that anyone who does not agree with his political position is not really an American, because he states that almost all Americans are on their side. He affirms that the Democrats received an “electoral bachelor” in November, regardless of that Trump would barely earn the popular vote, the Republicans have a thin margin of shaving in the house very Gerrymandered, and the Senate is almost equally divided. But his worst accusation is his surprisingly intolerant statement that “people from Africa, the Middle East and Latin America” have “cultures and customs [that] They are antithetical to ours. ”

To the editor: As a professor of ancient political sciences and withdrawals, I suppose that the historical incorrection where Hammer states that the appointment of former President Biden of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should point out was the first appointment of Dei. Ronald Reagan followed his explicit campaign promise to appoint the first woman for the United States Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor in 1981. And the consensus is that her career served to justify Dei's purposes quite well.

To the editor: I would ask Hammer if there was any world in his mind in which a black person can be hired and not qualify as a “dei rental.” What bar should clarify? In an administration flooded with unqualified and inexperienced quotes, we should be very lucky to have “hiring” such as Jackson and former vice president Kamala Harris.

To the editor: Hammer exalts the domain of the Republican party because it addresses what the Americans wanted: “… a stable pocket, a stable edge and a stable scenario of the world.” Trump's fixation in tariffs has caused the stock market to decrease and prices increase for consumers.
Yes, the border is blocked, but there is no comprehensive immigration legislation to address the shortage of early labor in the agriculture and construction sectors resulting from mass deportations.
Europe and NATO no longer trust the American leadership of the free world. Free and independent allied nations are threatened with forced annexation to the United States, the Republican Congress that meets the Trump garbage container fire.

Two columns in Sunday: “Trump wants to undo all kinds of race and gender progress. This is what is brought on their way,” by Robin Abcaraian and Hammer's, represent the Yin and Yang of American politics. Most Americans are in the political center of this enigma, rejecting the extremes of both parties as unpleasant, disruptive and not in the best interest in the country.
