Survival of the Friendliest, by Hare and Woods. It showcases how humans and other animals can thrive in partnership but also warns how “friendly” people can brutalize out groups when we perceive our in groups to be threatened. Timeless and timely.

The solution is connecting the dots on the massive flow of wealth to the already wealthy. As the most famous line in All the President’s Men states, “follow the money,” as in the flow to the wealthy. We and the media we consume need to be laser focused on that. 9/x

The solution involves helping folks understand that hating immigrants, transgender people and all the other “Others” is simply a ploy (although it will cause untold suffering). It needs to be part of the story, but it needs to be seen as a ploy in service of the massive transfer of wealth. 7/x

But Trump won households making under $50k and is the hero of people who benefit from some of these programs. Won’t they rebel against their hero? Zinn tells us that working class whites, starting even before the U.S. was born, would fall into line if other groups were subjugated. 5/x
