What happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon President Trump, no matter what he does? In his latest book “Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy,” conservative political commentator and former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum posits that a huge swath of America has put their faith in Donald Trump and Donald Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn’t have a place for them. According to David, those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural revenge. Join us for a hard look at our national politics in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
