Black Lives Matters protesters bullying the latest object of their ire; a lesbian couple kissing at their wedding ceremony; a mother in Chicago weeping over the death of her young daughter, struck by an errant bullet from a gang shootout; a panel earnestly discussing the need for men who “identify” as women to have access to the public lavatories of their choosing; college students, showing the results of their enfeebling education, railing about imagined psychic injuries caused by their professors or fellow students.Epstein concludes many who see this say, to themselves and to each other, "What happened to the country I once loved? This isn't it. I want my country back." To his list I'd add, calling a business and hearing "Para español, ocho por favor."
Epstein doesn't believe Trump will be willing or able to do anything about his supporters' angst but, among the candidates, only Trump speaks to their sense of loss, gives them hope.
