Pretty much everyone at a Trump rally who doesn't look like Ward Cleaver (if he'd been ridden hard and put away wet) or the Beaver (after 90 days in County)... looks like June (after living with those two since 1957).

Speaking as a certified (certifiable?) white male, I say: "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."  So deal with it.  When did Americans get so blinkin' whiny?
