Pete Sandoval: Finally, it’s OK to admit I voted for Trump

Like most people, I am very happy the election is over. Unlike many, I am happy with the outcome. I am not happy that I did not feel safe enough to articulate my choice of candidates in mixed company, especially where strangers were present. I feared for my safety and the safety of my property. Why is the other side like that? Worse, are the know-nothings who compared my candidate with Hitler. And shame on you for allowing this extreme sentiment in your newspaper. Other than that, life is much better with “The Donald” in charge.

Pete Sandoval, Modesto
