Actions have consequences and history will record the coal minors as being fools and sheeple. They get what they deserve and unless they are willing to go to DC to tar and feather the LIAR in chief the they deserve to be out of work. They can explaing their circumstances to their children whom they have just beaten into slavery.
Most politicians today lie, or at least make promises that they are unlikely to be able to keep. It’s not a problem in a vacuum; it is one facet of a general loss of godliness.
