Forces of hate have been able to become so politically significant in the last few years because forces of love, dignity, decency & democracy have not been vibrant enough. Opportunistic infections took advantage of a weakened & compromised societal immune system. Boost it now.

Forces of love, dignity and decency are shining more vibrantly than ever, due to their being in such stark contrast these days to the majority of what we see on the news. Wouldn't it be great if the media gave less attention to the hate and reported the everyday acts of kindness.

For me Marianne is part of the solution, not part of the problem. She is part of that love, dignity and decency that I believe shines brightly.
