To the Editor:

In her SpeakEasy column (“In Search of Unity, Complete This Questionnaire,” 2/3), Marsia Mason attempts a humorous slant on the idea of unifying the country. Ms. Mason should know that in the wake of the Capitol riots, a lot of people are not laughing.

It must be admitted that in many aspects Trump and his acolytes are clownish and therefore at times one might struggle to take them seriously.
