Tell me about how WV became so red. What it’s like living there? PM me if you prefer. It’s been on my mind too.
It’s really not that hard to see why. In the past 30 years, the Democrat party changed from a blue collar working man’s party to a urban minority racial grievance-mongering party. In WV, there’s the added aspect of Democrats expressly wanting to destroy the livelihoods of coal workers in pursuit of their eco-cult.
Manchin won re-election by his fingernails trying to make the case to all of these old Democrats that he’s different, but I don’t see how he wins again in 2024. The national party is just too toxic back at home. He also voted to impeach Trump once, though he’s indicated that he won’t again.
