I don't want to see them slip through cracks, get left out or behind or simply turn to demagogues like Trump and his ilk. I have honestly never seen the visceral hate in people's eyes the way I have encountered since June with Trump supporters. It is frightening to see up close...on the internet it might seem cartoonish, but up close and personal its menacing.

As bad as things are for too many, there IS another way, we just need to get people focused on who the real causes of the problems are and that is really hard with the propaganda machine from the right running full blast 24/7/365 in radio, TV, internet and mail.
