Let’s all be sure to vote during the upcoming midterm election. Let’s put aside party labels and just look at the issues we have seen in the last 20 months.

The promised drop in grocery prices on day one turned into higher prices for groceries, gas and everything else every single month.

Take a breath; this is emotional hyperbole unsupported by the facts. A couple of examples:

"Deportation of criminal illegal immigrants turned into deporting our friends and neighbors."

This frames the issue emotionally while ignoring that immigration enforcement applies to many categories of removable non-citizens, not only violent criminals. At the same time, available data show large numbers of people with criminal histories were arrested or removed. The statement implies that ordinary residents are being targeted instead of criminals, which is not established by the evidence.

"Corruption in the White House ... never before seen in our country."

This is a subjective superlative rather than a factual statement. To support it, one would need objective measurements and historical comparisons with administrations such as Grant, Harding, Nixon, or others associated with major scandals. The statement provides no evidence and asks readers to accept a sweeping conclusion.

Etc.

Boy, I wish I had about three hours to refute every single word in his comment. Vote RED straight down the line.
