THE FINAL WORD
COASTALS WILL NEED MIDTERM THERAPY IF THERE'S A REDWAVE
T here is a growing panic among the accepted the repudiation of their worldview courtesy of the 2016 presidential election and Donald Trump’s elevation to the White House. And it could get worse for them soon. Up to this point, the anti-Trump “resistance” have consoled themselves with the prospect that “Trumpism” is a temporary state of affairs.
