ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT: Describes hippies and ‘Trumplicans’

| May 17, 2023 1:00 AM

The Dave Pulis letter to the editor “Hippies: To Blame For Most Problems” was very entertaining if not ironic.

Mr. Pulis apparently misses, over looks, the ideological connection between “hippies” and Trumplicans. Both were/are anti-establishment.

Trumplicans reject American institutions and institutional norms while using them to advance their political agenda.

Locally, the KCRCC/Idaho Freedom Foundation run partisan candidates for every elective office to undo what has previously been done. Examples are boundless.

Nationally, anyone that supports Donald Trump’s attempt to deny the 2020 election results and subsequent attempted overthrow of the federal government, is absolutely categorically anti- establishment.

At least the hippies had Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention to express their anti-establishment sentiments. Trumplicans have Wilhelm Richard Wagner. Peace Out.
