I do believe Mr T is supported by ill informed non-readers, by their own admission, and we should work against that by informing ourselves, even resisting and fighting (legally) some one who mongers hate, such as -- x y z T

In rural Pennsylvania, T does his brand of white extreme nationalism, still followers chanting Build the Wall and Lock her up. SAD.
It seems they will follow anything orange.
Meanwhile T continues to call his opponents what he
is.
As in kettle calls the pot orange.
DISGUSTED.
But keep following the real news and keep exercising your rights.
They are under threat from this T guy and his minions daily.

Russian-Soviet writer--Mikhail Sholokov--
1965 Nobel Laureate in Literature--
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Sholokhov
I am reading his second book, The Don Flows to the Sea, which I bought for $2 in the Princeton Public Library on Nassau St, where I went with my friend.
It's more reasonable to read the more famous And Quiet Flows the Don first, but they can be read as free standing novels.
Here is the full ms. of And Quiet Flows the Don, but you should buy a book if you can.
On line you will have to read it sitting at a desk, which isn't the same at all as lying down and reading a novel in your own bed or on your own futon.
Also, the online transcript, maybe scanned, has quite a few errors and typos.

Even going to the National Arboretum is iffy.
I know "all about gunfire on the streets" because I lived in West Philadelphia 13 years and people still get shot.

At the University of Pennsylvania, I met a woman who did not know her parents, since they sent her as a child on the Pedro Pan Program.
I was almost as desperate when I tried to bring my own children out of Burma, but am glad I did not have to send them off with strangers or "friends."

Nice comment from Washington Post--copied and pasted --on April the Giraffe
been
watching April because I find it strangely soothing. April doesn't know
jack about politics, she has no opinion on military strikes in Syria
and she doesn't give a lame rat's rear end about how many times Trump
has golfed in Florida. She's affectionate with her handlers, she likes
to play with Oliver, she adores carrots and begs for them like a golden
retriever. She's been a bright spot in my day and when I woke to see her
finally in labor - I watched for hours until the baby was on the
ground, then on its feet and then, wobbling the whole way, found its way
to breakfast. Welcome to the world, little giraffe! May you never know
hunger, never be homeless, never be a refugee... may the only humans you
ever meet treat you kindly and may you someday be a part of helping
your species return to abundance in the lands you were made for. Maybe
one day we'll care as much for each other as we've cared about you....

If she were human, we would consider her a predator.
Strange how we never had a program called "Desperate Husbands" ogling all those beautiful, nubile young woman.
To be attracted to the most beautiful isn't shallow, it's Nature 101, and as natural as breathing. Somehow, we have criminalized a woman's choice of whom she wants to be with. Weird at best.
