@ContraPoints Political movements don't have to be in response to anything in particular. Conservative media was sufficiently anti-establishment and paranoid by 2015 that Trump was a logical beneficiary. He won his primary and Clinton ran a just-sufficiently bad campaign to lose the general.

@RichardHanania The coalition also just hates building things. The Democratic base is disproportionately suburban college-educated NIMBYs. Being pro building is a largely esoteric position within the coalition.

THINK TWICE ABOUT THIN ICE! Uneven ice thickness can result in a person or pet falling through the ice.

Don't walk on frozen ponds, lakes, or rivers.
Don't try to rescue someone who has fallen yourself! Dial 911.
Play it safe! Stick to the City of Bowie Indoor Ice Arena.
