Dear Editor, For the last several years I’ve been aware that, since I’m a Trump supporter, the coastal elites the media and the Democrat Party consider me a “deplorable”. But over the last few weeks I guess I have, despite being married to a Latina, morphed into a new species – a white Nationalist.  Since I know a lot of fellow deplorables, but not any white Nationalists, I’ve given a lot of thought as to how and why the media, desperate to oust Trump and defeat Republicans by “any means necessary” is so enamored of the term. Elections are in…

My name is Bubba Jo and I have lived in Mohave County for more than 20 years with my family and other relatives. Yes, my last name is being withheld to protect my anonymity.

The article’s banner promoting a local progressive revolution is a quite clear statement of intent. It does however raise the question, what flavor of progressive?
