Those 2 counties are redder than a fire engine. They really should be handed over to like minded and backward West VA, another derelict and basket case hellhole. That way they can enjoy their poverty and environmental degradation together. So, I hope all the MAGAs there are pleased with their votes for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. There is also a church on every corner in their towns full of holier-than-thou evangelicals who prefer to vote for the party of pedophiles and insurrectionists. Hypocrites.

One resident said to me a few years ago that she would never let her young kids watch Harry Potter flicks because they were anti Christian and pro devil. What a jerk.

We here in central MD pay the taxes that keep those 2 counties afloat. All we get in return is animosity. Their only upside is some beautiful mountain scenery, but avoid West VA where the mountains are blown up, a process called 'mountain top removal,' to expose veins of coal. Trump said in his first reign of error that he would bring back good paying coal mining jobs to that state. Where are they?
