Greetings from Trump's America: Perry County, Kentucky, where residents, 95% of whom are white, continue to vote against their own best interests

Slowly coming to their senses?

Sources:  Wikipedia, New York Times

3rd-party candidates received 11.2% of vote in 1992, 9% of vote in 1996, 2.6% in 2016

(Segregationist George Wallace received 10.3% of the vote in 1968)

Trump received 29 fewer votes in 2020 than he did in 2016, a 0.3% decrease.  Biden received 220 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 10%.

In the weeks after the presidential election, Perry County's 7-day average of new cases nearly tripled.

New York Times

% of population 25 and older with bachelor's degree:

• 14.4% - Perry County
• 24.2% - Kentucky
• 32.1% - U.S.

% of population 65 and older:

• 17.4% - Perry County
• 16.8% - Kentucky
• 16.5% - U.S.

% of population living in poverty:

• 24.2% - Perry County
• 16.3% - Kentucky
• 10.5% - U.S. (they're joking, of course)

Trump's America:  white, older, less educated, rural, high percentage of poverty.

New York Times, 12/28/2020

And yuet they continue to vote for a heartless bastard by McConnell and moonbeam chaser like Paul.

In Perry County, Ky., the local government is cutting back on garbage pickup. Magoffin County is laying off public safety workers. And in Floyd County, where food pantries are reporting that demand has tripled over the past month, officials are trying to figure out how to avoid cuts to a program distributing food to families.  

Original 10/16/2017 post, "Most likely Scott Pruitt missed irony of announcing repeal of carbon emissions rule in Hazard KY",  starts here.

EPA chief Scott Pruitt tells coal miners he will repeal power plant rule Tuesday: ‘The war against coal is over’.   Washington Post, 10/9/2017)

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt told coal miners in Kentucky on Monday that he will move to repeal a rule limiting greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants, assuring them, “The war against coal is over.” 

Speaking at an event in Hazard, Ky., with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Pruitt said his agency will publish the new proposed rule Tuesday.
