Interesting reading.

The Intercept.

The stories speak for themselves, and one conclusion is that in the wealthiest nation time has ever known, there is no excuse for people having to live through the trauma experiences threaded through the story. Transcending the reported defining experiences is the main part of the story with adversity faced and overcome to allow candidacies, but the main story is that we, as a people, did what was done to this selection of individuals while still calling ourselves "civilized." We are short of being that, and the establishment prejudices the cataloged individuals face from a political party reflects the disconnect between what government we've gotten and what we should have attained. That such scars of class warfare were inflicted on these people while young makes you want to support their candidacies because they may if elected get even.
