I’ve written about this previously: Look around you at America — at white America in particular, and at the angriest and most race-obsessed corners of white America, where people are most likely to support a certain orange presidential candidate who yells a lot. Look at the epidemic rates of obesity, of heart disease, of adult-onset diabetes and opioid addiction and suicide, which has reached truly alarming levels among middle-aged, lower-income white men and is a far more common cause of firearms death than murder. Are these happy people, in a happy place? If they are voting for Donald Trump because he represents the values of white supremacy — which, I agree, in large part they are — what possible benefit do they derive from that system?

1. Trump has promised them jobs, no immigrants, and to fix the many things they fear. . . . . nt

2. You pretty much have nailed it.

Living in a State that suffers from low Educational Levels,so preventable are these symptoms. And now with the Print Media controlled by one Rethug,this will be one hard slosh to over come. We have one thing going for us,Ignorance is Bliss.

3. O'Hehir piece should be brought up every time Trump uses the threat of terror to scare people.

No, in actual fact what will kill you is not being an adult and taking responsibility for your life and who you vote for.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Simple truth is what you said.

Don't know if it is me or what. Lately it seems more and more people just do not get it. It is like a Zombie world for some. Everyone is looking for the magic lottery ticket or Publishers Clearing House limo stopping at their door. What the heck did I miss?
