Penelope Trunk

Last night my husband and I woke up in the middle of the night to talk politics. We didn’t talk about how surprised we were. We went through the list of people we know who voted for Trump but wouldn’t admit it. We know a lot of them because we don’t live in California or New York. We live in The Rest of The Country. If you live on the coasts you probably don’t understand what it’s like to be surrounded by Trump voters, so I’ll tell you.
