        I voted for Darth Plagueis. I hope that wasn’t misrepresented.

    West Virginia boasts the highest coal production per capita in the United States. Living as a descendant of Italian immigrants that moved to the US midwest to mine coal, I’m pissed but this is what a majority of modern miners voted for. We may as well go back to the days of coal miners being the exploited labor of millionaires(billionaires).

      I don’t know if you can claim that map represents miners. I wouldn’t be surprised, but also there are essentially no mining jobs in WV anymore. They’re sold propaganda of coal jobs helping people, because a lot of people used to make a living from it (however horrible it was). I have a lot of family in WV and I know zero coal miners. Now it’s just machines working Joe Manchin’s mines, so 100% of them could have voted D and it wouldn’t make a dent in that data.

        West Virgina is still the leading coal-mining state in the entire US with over 14,000 employees, most of them working underground. It’s not a vast number but yeah, the “vibes” are there and that’s what people will always connect with.

      Wyoming also mines a ton of coal, and they voted 71% for Trump.

    Just wait until they stop enforcing safety measures and mines start collapsing.

    Think Trump’s going to send feds to dig you out??

    Why help sick miners when we can give tax breaks to billionaires and free money playing stock market games?

    When you get infected by the broke mind virus, the rest of your body goes down the sewer along with it, too, unsurprisingly.

    According to donnie dumbass, these people would rather be mining (and have black lung) than have a penthouse on Fifth Avenue.

    I have a great-grandfather that died from black lung. Fuck donvict. I wonder how many of the coal miners that were used as stage props for the asshat Felon-in-Chief had any choice in the matter.
