In a full-page editorial subtitled “Be an Informed Voter,” your columnist Tom Wright writes that Donald Trump survived “assaults from the deep state and detractors.” The “deep state” is a paranoid, dark, Qanon conspiracy theory that the government is controlled by a secret cabal of military and financial elites.

If yours is a reputable news outlet and has evidence of the “deep state,” please provide it.

Concerning assaults, they occurred on January 6 when Trump’s supporters attacked Capital Police with flagpoles and other weapons. Trump’s family separation policy is an assault; some parents still don’t know what happened to their children and may never see them again.

New Mexico is blessed with many creative thinkers and writers. If you want to inform voters with facts, relegate Q anon Tom to the letters to the editor section and find someone else.
