Thank you and your entire editorial page staff — really, the entire organization — for Sunday’s mock front page of the Globe. As you indicate, taking a candidate’s rhetoric and positions to their logical conclusions is exactly what we should do when we consider for whom we’ll cast our votes. I submit that the Republican establishment has failed to do this for years, and I join you in the fervent hope that they will do so after this election cycle concludes.

In the meantime, your front page forces us to confront ourselves and the harsh realities of who we are and who we will become as a whole nation if we don’t stand against the various forms of hatred that Donald Trump espouses and embodies.

THANK YOU for Sunday’s “Stop Trump’’ mock newspaper. It’s so concerning to see voting decisions being made on such high emotions that the realities of a possible Trump presidency seem to get lost. It’s about time his dramatic boasts and threats are played out. I hope this serves to open eyes to the disastrous effects a Trump presidency would have on our country and the world. I hope it causes voters, unlike this presidential candidate, to use good judgment.
