Reasons To Support Trump
I’m generally against “bothsidesism,” but one thing I believe conservatives and liberals have in common in the U.S.: We both find the other side’s choices completely, utterly incomprehensible. And nothing is harder to comprehend, in the lefty (a.k.a. my) mindset, … Continue reading
