59.39% of Utahns voted for the tariffs. They voted to gut our economy and let those with the most get even more. They voted for insider trading and oligarchs. They voted for crony capitalism.

59.39% of Utahns voted for deporting people that came here legally. They voted to force children to represent themselves in court. They voted to further restrict the rights of marginalized people. They voted to eliminate their own right to due process.

59.39% of Utahns voted to end the federal narcan program. They voted to allow public health crises to become the public health norm. They voted for disinformation and identity politics to override actual science.

59.39% of Utahns voted to allow a president to ignore the Constitution. They voted to arrest judges. They voted to destroy democracy as we know it. They voted this way because they don’t give a damn about what happens to their neighbor; they only care about themselves.

59.39% of Utahns voted for everything that happens in the next four years, and we owe them no sympathy.

Jacob Hancey, Layton
