Quote of the Day

Now, I've met a lot of open-minded, big-hearted men and women who live and work in poor, rural communities.  It's hard to fault them for wanting to shake things up politically after so many years of disappointment.  But anger and resentment do run deep.  As Appalachian natives such as author J.D. Vance have pointed out, a culture of grievance, victimhood, and scapegoating has taken root as traditional values of self-reliance and hard work have withered.  There's a tendency toward seeing every problem as someone else's fault, whether it's Obama, liberal elites in the big cities, undocumented immigrants taking jobs, minorities soaking up government assistance -- or me.  It's no accident that this list sounds exactly like Trump's campaign rhetoric.
