Honest question: where do you get information that is not the Internet?
For context, I volunteer with a support group for Parkinson’s and we would like to make sure that people know it exists. So if you don’t use the Internet, what are some other ways that you find out about things like this?

Donald Trump is a horrible human being. He's also brought out the best and bravest of some people.
