What Was Applied

by Paul Jacob

“Yesterday, Donald Trump and the Republicans took the proverbial shellacking. We’ve seen this sort of thing before. It’s not unheard of. Americans repudiate failed programs, and Trump, who promised to keep the American people out of war did the precise opposite of what got him elected in the first place. Only by grace extended from the American people could the application of the varnish be withheld. … This could be a warning to all: the awfulness of your opponents will not stay the hand of shellac . . . er, citizen correction.” (11/05/26)
