The dark side

Why some people are fine with cruelty towards others as long as it doesn't impact them speaks to a fundamental dark side of human psychology. It is also the fuel that makes Trumpism run. 

Imagine being Latino and wishing those who are like you to have revenge exacted upon them. Later you are the one affected and it didn't occur to you that the inherent evil in the philosophy would touch you. 

"I paid my dues so if they end up in alligator alcatraz it's not my problem" 

Truly bizarre. 

Stupidity isn't simply the lack of intelligence but instead the ability to block out the obvious because your anger and frustration are much greater than your common sense.

Phoenix, Oregon

Phoenix, Oregon feels organic and warm. The characters are likeable and real and remind us of people we know; flawed, vulnerable and human. ...
