Start w/ the Golden Rule.

Identity traits we're born w/into don't determine character.

Migration = survival adaptation. Anti-migrant = anti-humanity.

Nationalism destroys empathy and turns neighbors into enemies. Equal rights for ALL, everywhere.

From an essay written by Albert Einstein and published in 1949:
archive.org/details/Albe...
"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands. The result is an oligarchy of private capital, the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed most cases quite impossible, for the individual to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights." - Albert Einstein, 1949

Ugh - I pasted the wrong text into the alt-text in for the image in the post above — my apologies.

Here it is again with the correct alt-text:
Image of portion of webpage with info about "fascism" on the U.S. Holocaust Museum website. (https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/fascism-1) Vsible text: Definition and Beliefs Fascism is an ultranationalist, authoritarian political philosophy. It combines elements of nationalism, militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and totalitarianism. It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government. Fascism places the importance of the nation above all else. The unity of the national community is prioritized above the rights of individuals. This leads to an intense interest in defining which groups belong or do not belong to the national body. Fascism is characterized by: - strident, often exclusionary nationalism - fixation with national decline (real or perceived) and threats to the existence of the national community - embrace of paramilitarism In fascist states, violence is accepted — even celebrated — if it serves...

Contrary to the false narrative routinely put forth by billionaire-run news media and millionaire politicians, poor people are the *least* likely to be or vote for Republicans.

Not that it matters, but poor people are the *least* likely to be or vote for Republicans. Billionaire-run mainstream media has this country so misinformed that even people with bios like the one in your profile are reveling in the thought of starving poor people. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here's reality though:

"Trump voters, like others in the GOP, have relatively high incomes..."

"[S]upport for Trump was strongest among the locally rich — that is, white voters with incomes that are high for their area..."

They're *not* more likely to support her policies though. You have it upside-down. *Most* people have it upside-down because mainstream media is owned and run by the ultra-wealthy.
