Trump's America and Steve King's Iowa: Crawford County, Iowa



In Kiron, Iowa, pop. 229, the meaning of a life, a death and another cup of coffee.  (Washington Post, 4/16/2017)
There was little controversy across King’s district, though, a swath of rural America made up of tiny towns with tiny, aging white populations that routinely elected King with more than 70 percent of the vote. In Kiron, people brushed it off as King being King, a man they all knew, expressing a plain truth they all understood: The white population was shrinking, and towns like theirs were vanishing, with the few exceptions being places such as Denison [53.9% Hispanic in 2010], a pork-processing town 20 minutes down the highway where population growth was being driven by immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
