    Trump Russian Embrace Dovetails With White Supremacist World View on Race

    Keith Girard
    Donald Trump’s embrace of Russia dovetails chillingly with the views of white supremacists promoted by alt-right propagandist Steve Bannon. They see the world divided in racial terms making mostly white “Christian” Russia a natural ally of the United States and all other races potential enemies. There’s no other way to explain Trump’s unilateral tilt toward Russia, which is contrary to decades of U.S. policy....

    Keith Girard
    As Donald Trump’s deficit in the popular vote edges north of 1.5 million votes, the President-elect is now being confronted with election rigging allegations over Republican efforts to suppress Democratic votes, leading to his razor-thin victories in key swing states and the presidential election overall.

    The Trump Syndrome: A Disaffected Voter Weighs In on New Post-Election Zeitgeist

    David Fagin and Keith Girard
    If, like me, you have a twisted, acidic, contempt-filled knot in your stomach over the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, don’t panic. It’s a normal reaction to a sexist, misogynistic megalomaniacal con man winning the highest office in the land.
