So yes Trump is an awful person and somehow got elected. But please remember that he got less than 50% of the popular vote, and over 75 million people voted against him. There as many sane, reasonable people as there are MAGA fans. We will have to work hard at countering the craziness, but we […]

“Our problem isn’t that we don’t have enough money. It’s that we don’t have the moral capacity to face what ails our society.”
