I agree that there is much to suggest Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

I believe that a message of love wins, but the sharing part --not so much. There is a very human tendency--sometimes seeped in superstition, to blame others for their own misfortune from health care woes to homelessness.

I see this personified in comment on the live casts during the challenges to the Muslim ban, or proposed interventions for the homeless. People would say "Seattle's streets are filled with homeless--take care of them first" or "Veterans are suffering take care of veterans before people who don't even want to work" two very mixed messages that come from the same kinds of people who voted for Trump. (Homeless veterans are rarely mentioned) The need to be right supersedes the impulses to be compassionate to all--refugees, the homeless, suffering Veterans. People know that tax dollars will be needed to help all three groups, so they pick one. This is typically Rebublican but not exclusively so, sad to say.

Me? I'd rather live small and help others than judge how they got to be in need, as well as try to be involved in how tax dollars are best spent to help others by political activism.
