They sadly have their prejudices that they vote on that keeps any disappointment away. The Politico article showed some ugly racism among the residents.

I”m from Western PA. I saw the hate rise when George Wallace started his 1964 campaign against Johnson. Once Wallace let it out of the bottle it ran wild in Pennsylvania. There are several blue havens in the four corners of the state but once you leave those blue corners the rest of the state is redder than Mississippi!

I know how the folks in Johnstown think because I’ve seen what right wing preachers, hate radio jocks like Jim Quinn and Fox News did to my family. All of them hated the N-Word President. They fell for the birther bullshit. And, sadly the reason they love Trump is because Trump kicks colored people, gays, lesbians, Muslims and liberals down.

I have nephews and nieces with disabled kids who refuse to sign up for Medicaid or buy health insurance because the “N-Word” president signed the law. And they sound just like the brainwashed guy in Johnstown who thought Obama was a lazy Oh, you know what N word that idiot wanted to say.

Apple wanted to build a call center in my home town. What did the residents do? They rose up against it. Why? Well, the preachers said they didn’t want a company that “promoted gays and lesbians” spreading their filth in the town. So the council rejected it. The preachers and the marks all rejoiced because they “would rather have Jesus than Satanic employers”.

My home town is economically dead. But they got Jesus and their guns…
