Hillary narrowly won the popular vote. I think she was a slightly better choice than Trump, but deeply flawed nonetheless. The economy is likely better under Trump, but the price is too high in my view. He has blown up the deficit, damaged the international standing of the U.S., and emboldened dictators, bullies, and racists. The health insurance situation is worse in the U.S., and is going to ignite an overreaction from the extreme left which is just as whacky and dangerous as the far right. I hope he is a one term President.

Encouraging the nasty angels of our nature

My thought would be that ending Gerrymandering would be a good place to start. If candidates come from more diverse districts, it will become impossible for candidates on the outer fringes of either party to come to power.

Exactly. When our leaders fail to be civil, it encourages the masses towards incivility.

Relative rates of mental illness
by Doug Mason ina report produced 50 years ago by a psychiatrist at a west australian mental health facility ("asylum"l reported that the mental illness rate among jws was 3 times the norm of society.
other similar studies at the time concluded the rate was much higher.. i wrote to the psychiatrist at the time, asking whether the wts attracted people who were already susceptible to mental illness or if the situation was created after the person became a jw.
he responded that they did not know.. being myopically focused on the wts at the time, but more importantly belonging to an alternative eschatological apocalyptic body at the time, i did not think more broadly.. i think that today i would like to know:.

The extreme right wing of the Republican party love this nonsense. They, of course, are racists and in many cases Fascists. "Very good people" in Trump's dystopian world.
