I think what spiked the Obama presidency was anger, and what spiked the Trump presidency was jubilee.

It has angered me to no end that the Obama presidency sparked the Tea Party, but the Trump presidency has not sparked an equivalent. But maybe I am not counting the women. We shall see if they are able to make a difference in November, and grab an overwhelming number of seats in the same way that the Tea Party did.

Are the men backing them?
