Just got done with that Politico piece. It's beyond depressing just how resoundingly thick these people are.
The coal industry is dying on its feet. It's just not coming back. When China weans itself off fossil fuels, the entire sector might vanish.
The steel mills, even if they did come back, would be completely different to those that closed 50 years ago, due to automation, etc.
These people want the 1950s back, and that's not happening. Not even Trump can turn the clock back. But he can proclaim victory is every endeavor, despite reality, and these people will believe him. That's just stupidly depressing.
The comment on NFL players kneeling at the end.
How did these people vote Democratic, ever?
