West Virginia was also a labor union hotspot during the 20th century. Were even willing to take up arms against the mine companies when they started getting labor organizers murdered and miners were dying by the hundreds in purposely shitily operated mines to increase profits.
Nowadays. They seem to do everything possible to please the mine companies even if it screws them over.
1000%. We elected a coal baron to governor and he’s planning to run for house or senate next, likely to win.
The culture here is fucked. They’ll fly the flag their grandfather’s died to fight against, they’ll vote for people their grandfather’s died to oppose, and they’ll condemn education their father’s worked to provide for them, all under the guise of “dems want to take my guns and make my kids trans”.
It’s all over in WV. The state that seceded from the Confederacy. And then when confronted they say it’s their heritage.
Mother fucker, what heritage?
Racism. that’s it. ‘Heritage’ is code for racism and ‘family values’ is code for heterosexism
It’s a good thing they are great at being sneaky, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to figure it out almost instantaneously…
They’re proud of more things than just racism. Like poverty
Heritage of power
What do you mean?
