Why Trump Will Never Lose His Supporters (goes to politico via electoral-vote.com

i’m quoting the entire electoral-vote exerpt and bolding some stuff. Clearly these people are lost. they are not rational. they are not redeemable nor politically turnable. and they are a small enough number to probably not matter if we stay mobilized.

still, holy moly:

There was a Golden Age back when a man with little education or training could earn enough in the mines to buy a nice house, a nice truck and put his kids through school (if they did not knock up their high school sweethearts first).

They would rather insist that this Dream is going to return than to face the ugly reality that advancements in technology and energy generation have made coal mining a dying profession.
