In a Democrat college town, voters finally get a taste of their own medicine

"As for me, all I could think of is H. L. Mencken’s sardonic take on democracy: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.'”  . . .

"One of the things that’s so often said about affluent, white Democrat voters is that they’re insulated from the effects of their own policies.
