Another report about a coal county where voters favor Trump, who lies to them about how coal is coming back, over Biden, who wants to help them transition to the future. Not a word acknowledging Trump failed these people. Just they're supporting him because Biden hasn't solved all their problems.

I grew up in Indiana Co and coal was in decline when I was a kid, in the 60s. I did have a neighbor who came home every day covered in coal dust - but not a growth industry. Have not had a chance to read the article yet. Was/is a very conservative, Republican area.

Anecdote, but the most racist person I know lives in that county. Pretty sure his vote is not a reasoned analysis of which candidate is better for coal
