Comments by "voteZDLR" (@voteZDLR) on "Why Coal Country Elected Trump" video.

lol I love the title and thumbnail of this video. People living in squalor voted for Trump. In what appeared to be an underground homeless ... place. Or something. Well, they're not wrong. People are like "How did Hillary lose? The polls were ALL showing her beating him! She was 98% guaranteed to win [actual source was Politico or RealClearPolitics, I forget, but it was that high]. The kind of people that voted for trump are the kind of people who get the phone calls or mail from pollers and hang up on them or piss on the mail then return it or something like that. They come outta the woodwork every four years, every November.

The mood of the country is like 1820's America where the disparity between economies is becoming more and more clear, except it's not as much a regional thing like it was back then it's more of a class thing now. With machines getting more and more sophisticated, the need for manual labor is just disappearing. This means a lot of people will go without jobs as soon as machines are able to do their jobs instead. And they'd do it better, faster, and safer and wouldn't need to take a break or have any of the shortcomings that normal people usually do.

Good luck to all those kids, man. That's just the plain and simple truth of it, you just can't count on coal anymore. It's extremely wise they're taking their educations seriously and thinking about the future differently. I think they'll do really well, they even have an idea for a little business. Think big and you will do big. Just don't forget where you came from when you make it! Bring a new industry to that town and you can revitalize it.
