A January 29 letter expressed fear for what might happen to conservatives during the Biden administration: โ€œThere are talks of deprograming Trump supportersโ€ like Communist China would do, the writer claimed.

Reading this caused me to recall fears conservatives had during Obamaโ€™s administration:

A friend from Wilcox called me in distress after Obamaโ€™s 2012 reelection. When I asked what she was afraid of, she couldnโ€™t cite anything specific but said, โ€œHe just lies all the time.โ€

I met a school bus driver in 2014 who was convinced that Obama would not leave office after the 2016 election. Heโ€™d declare martial law and take over as a dictator.

Funny how it worked out โ€“ I mean, about the lying and grasping for power.

Donโ€™t be afraid of Democrats. We donโ€™t want to do bad things to you or see you suffer. Your lives matter to us.
