Trump’s America: The Death of Civil Society?
Several letters address Donald Trump’s election victory, attributing it not to Democratic failures or economic hardship, but to voters’ disregard for his character flaws. Contributors highlight a lack of civic education as a contributing factor to this apathy, arguing that many voters prioritized self-interest over the common good, despite potentially harming their own economic well-being. Other letters discuss diverse topics including the accountability of universities, the environmental impact of animal agriculture, vaping regulations, and the financial dealings of the British Royal Family. Finally, several letters offer anecdotal counterpoints to recent news stories.
