Trump backhands Appalachia

[HAB911]

Appalachia voted for Donald Trump more enthusiastically than almost any other part of the country.

In the Super Tuesday primary, Trump’s best county was Virginia’s Buchanan County, where nearly 70 percent of the voters picked him over any other Republican. In November, Trump ran stronger in Appalachia than any other Republican ever. He won more than 90 percent of the localities in Appalachia, taking the entire region by a landslide margin of nearly 2-1.

Trump has an odd way of returning the favor.

Much of the attention about Trump’s proposed budget has focused on the classic fights — he wants to cut funding to the Environmental Protection Agency by 31 percent; he wants to eliminate funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Elections matter, anyone who does not show up to vote, or voice objection to values contrary to their conscience will pay the price.

Those of US in opposition to the insanity must engage all Americans to stand up and be counted or go down with the count.
