      Stop and think about this a moment. Not just because you may find it vile. Because it crystallizes a great divide in American life. When faced with a choice between the powerful and the vulnerable, whom do your reflexes send you rushing in to defend?https://twitter.com/PeterAlexander/status/1046731539831279616 …

      It has eloquently been called a “basic brain-stem-level difference.”https://twitter.com/drvox/status/1044641863011987456?s=21 …

      Anand Giridharadas added,

      David RobertsVerified account @drvox
      Basically, do you identify with those in power, who are trying to protect it? Or with those who have been denied power, who are trying to claim it? I'm beginning to think that basic brain-stem-level difference is at the root of many other disputes.

          America’s litmus test today: Whom do you ache for? Women suffering assault? Or men accused of it? Minorities denied freedoms and now claiming them? Or white people threatened by their rise? Families separated on the border? Or natives who feel safer when others are separated?

          Billionaires pledging to “change the world”? Or those forsaken by the economy the billionaires were happy enough to build, keep and milk?

          I’m in favor of people who will actually work for the People of this Country , not self serving people who don’t care what happens to the people as long as they make money and have power. The Senate , Congress, And WH now are for them self’s now
