Then came: " I started crying. I told him all of the above in quiet tones. I told him I don't know if it was the bypass or that Trump has made him feel bold enough to speak out racism I never knew he had, but he's barely recognizable as my brother anymore. I told him I don't understand the anger and hatred. I told him he only has one life and it's about over."

At which point: "He wasn't reachable. He yelled, he called me horrid names. He left. "

"This was a week ago. I have barely stopped crying since. My husband is beside himself.... wants to fix it."

"I want to hate the architects of hate radio, and the politics of this age. They stole my brother from me. My only brother.

I want to hate them. But I can't. I just want my brother back. While he breathes on this earth, I have hope."
