“I’m a working-class, Catholic, pro-life Democrat,” Alicea tells us, “and I don’t know how to vote.”

A serious problem in this state. We have lots of voters who were intrinsically programmed from birth that Democrats are the party of the working man and Republicans are the party of the robber barons. It's taken decades of job offshoring and millions of abortions at the hands of Democrats to even get them to start rethinking the orthodoxy this much.

"...a red T-shirt on the wall loudly declares “Wolf Sucks,” a reference to the governor every single person we meet in Pennsylvania seems to hate."

I think POTUS is going to benefit from a LOT of the hatred citizens in locked-down states have for their D governors.

Lots of observations

Few if any findings

Hmmm..... Sweats are my permanent clothing from early October to at least midApril. Ditto for many of my retired old men acquaintances. The message is “don’t come in and mingle with the resident trash”

If they want their coal industry shut down and fracking stopped, they should vote for Biden.

That will help the Rust Belt’s economy’s further decline.

Don’t worry: Biden says there will be “plenty of jobs” in the alternative energy industry.

I have been reading images of microfilm of the NY Times FReeper Homer J. Simpson posts, from this week in History from 1860.

The parallels of this year’s election to the election then are profound.

Sadly, the characters are the same.

The republicans of 1860 representing tradition, and prosperity, and our constitution, vs. the 1860 democrat party - deeply divided internally and being headed by a small number of zealots bent on forcing their minority world view on their own fractured party, and the country as a whole.

The rogue Democrats of 1860 enlisted the governments of France and England to add foriegn weight to their scheme.

Today’s democrats are aided by George Soros and the multinational communication industrial apparatus to present their electoral minority world view as mainstream.

The minority view, democrat party leaders of 1860 failed to garner popular support through the established electoral process in that years primaries so they took control of the thier party by force with the aid of outside allies. Just as Biden and his minions wrestled the democrat nomination not through votes but political backroom dealing and manipulation.

To cut my opine short, the parallel that most concerns me is the 1860 democrat leader’s vowed to break the country apart with violence if she failed to elect their demands just as today’s democrats with the help of the media and foriegn influence are doing.

I pray the more reasonable democrats win back their party..

Just proves that the standard Democrat playbook is over 160 years old.
With no changes.

PA is gone for Biden. He’s toast.

I’m hoping so!

And I do think Biden blew both feet off with his idiotic statements about fracking. Both in saying it and then trying to deny it, he destroyed his credibility and no one trusts what he says on the issue now.

As Luzerne County goes, so goes
Pennsylvania.

In other words, Trump wins the state.

The Federalist has been doing some great work this cycle. It’s refreshing compared to the usual drivel from the National Socialist media.

Again, as so often with all the writers at The Federalist, the framing is wrong. Trump can actually win without PA. Biden cannot.

So the conclusion reads entirely too much like fearporn intended to sell the rest of the article -- which is a nice travelogue, nicer than the MSM treats Pennsyltucky, but still mundane.

I grew up in that Democrat bubble too. In Hudson County, NJ. Democrat is in the DNA in Hudson County. I left the party 25 years ago and never looked back. My four younger siblings are still on the plantation because they think they’re supposed to be.

My one younger sisters and I haven’t spoken for three years now.

Thanks for the ping, lightman - my two-greats grandfather, Patrick J. Rafferty, was a constable in Old Forge in adjoining Lackawanna County who was killed in the line of duty in 1899.
