    Nah. It’s very much a “if their job was important, they’d keep it” mentality. I live in a basically forever red state; tariffs on coal are specifically threatening to close mines in WV because the Chinese won’t import coal anymore (they are our biggest exporter). There isn’t a single whisper of why this is bad for us; Trump has pledged to keep the mines open for years. He could put the lock in the entrance himself and the miners would kiss his feet as he did it.

      That’s scary.

      I’m not counting on the hardcore MAGoos to change. I want the 90 million people who didn’t vote to wake up

        Would be nice, but if this election didn’t wake them up, nothing is going to.
