The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA's Trump country [View all]
I keep reading these interviews of Trump voters who got fired, or whose family member got deported, or whose business is being whipsawed by tariffs. My knee-jerk reaction is the same as it is for the 4th District: What in the world did you expect?
So part of me says: Let ‘em have it. Good and hard, if that’s how it turns out.
But again: Isn’t this what Trump country signed up for? It’s what he said he would do. Sure there’s the chaos, and his kinglike heedlessness for the rule of law, but that was all easily foreseeable based on Trump’s governing style the first time around.
