Some good Letters to the Editor in today’s Denver Post.

 During Donald Trump’s presidency, the flag of the United States has been usurped by his supporters as a symbol of support for him. The flag is supposed to represent all of the country’s citizens, not just Trump and his supporters.

To begin restoring the flag as a symbol for all of us, I respectfully suggest that every citizen, regardless of their political leanings, display the country’s flag on inauguration day.

her column Krista Kafer suggests that “we must do what does not come naturally — forgive.” She omits an essential step in the process of reconciliation: those being forgiven must show some form of contrition or regret for their actions and beliefs.

Absent this, forgiveness becomes a meaningless gesture, leading to the forgivers becoming a Charlie Brown to Lucy’s football. Those who passively supported the perpetrators of violence, while perhaps not technically guilty of a crime, are certainly morally culpable, and deserve any shunning and disgrace they receive. As long as they continue to embrace the Big Lie of a stolen election, they deserve no forgiveness. They remain part of the problem, not part of the solution.
