Donald Trump taps into the frustrations that everyone has over the lingering economic downturn. Liberals/Progressives had better realize this and offer a program that offers both a better philosophy and policies that will integrate Trump’s half truths and so be actual solutions …otherwise Trump may well become president. Nixon’s silent majority won him re-election by a land slide, and that right/fascist/populist mentality is alive and well in every generation. There is of course a left/socialist/populist constituency out there as well, and both varieties are potentially very dangerous. The only thing that will ever enable any worthwhile and lasting change is an actual integration of the truths, workabilities and applicabilities of these opposing political ideologies and economic theories. That requires an openness to wisdom which is the integrative process itself. The alternative is the seeming eternal contentiousness and lack of significant movement toward actual solutions that orthodoxies on both sides of the aisle have fallen into, and that have brought us to Trumpism and Bernie Sandersism.

Please consider it.
