BY DON PORTOLESE Many in this country are clearly afraid. We can hear it this election louder than ever before. Big changes are before us, and many people do not understand these changes well enough to cope with them appropriately. As conservative politicians and pundits stoke people’s fears rather than lead us to possible solutions, we are fed the biggest myth of all: That we can somehow dial ourselves back to a simpler time. A time when white, Christian values and manufacturing jobs were at the very core of our social fabric. That is not only impossible but downright delusional.
