Edit: That’s a pretty flippant response to a complicated answer.
You could write a book about how West Virginia got into this mess. We’re a third world country right here in the United States. Most of our industry is owned by foreign (out of state) interests. We generate wealth and it gets shipped out with no benefit to the people who live here. Our natural resources alone should make us wealthy, but they are stolen from us and we are left sick and impoverished.
Then come the Republicans, with their rhetoric of “gubbmint interference” and these brain-damaged idiots lap it up. We elect a Democrat governor who then switches parties to support Trump. How do we react? We fucking reelect him.
I mean, trump’s cost his party 3 electoral cycles in a row so…
I think we get to wait and see what happens people seem to still like him… 🙁
I live in West Virginia, I can attest that they are fucking rabid about Trump 2024.
How did West Virginia go from battle of blair mountain to boot licking fuckwads?
Leaded gas and an aging population.

The “revenge tour” according to the bumper stickers all over my neighbors car.
If signs could vote Trump would have won last time. Biden isn’t my entire identity. He’s just a competent person that I voted for.
From WV. Not me. Repub family but I turned traitor forever. Fuck the GOP.
