Elizabeth Vaughn at RedState noticed that The Washington Post can’t help but show contempt for rural voters who pulled the lever for Donald Trump.

Media’s Negativity Won’t Dampen the American Spirit

Silver linings accompany most catastrophic events, and one major one with the coronavirus is the remarkable way Americans (and people throughout the world) have come together to fight this outbreak. Though the stock market has reflected a nation in panic, in other respects Americans, for the most part, have reacted responsibly, unselfishly and cooperatively, and I pray we are making substantial…
