MAGA Rages As Trump's Wrecking Ball Hits Appalachia - The Logical Leftist [View all]
MAGA towns in Appalachia are finally finding out what happens when the wrecking ball they voted for swings back on them.
In this video, we break down how Trump is clawing back billions in clean energy and community investments from the Inflation Reduction Act money that was already earmarked to rebuild former coal communities, create jobs, and protect towns from floods, blackouts, and other climate disasters.
On day one back in office, Trump moved to eliminate many of these clean-energy and environmental programs as woke scams. The catch? The hardest-hit places are the deep-red rural counties that delivered him 7080% of the vote.
Well cover:
How Bidens Inflation Reduction Act targeted coal country with nearly $1 billion for job training, solar projects, environmental cleanup, and resilience planning
How groups like Coalfield Development in Appalachia built real, concrete opportunities and then watched Trump rip them away
The canceled EPA grant in Lee County, Virginia, where 85% voted for Trump and nearly half rely on food stamps, that would have removed a toxic, flooded supermarket and built a flood-resilient green space
How Trump-backed areas like Dante in Russell County lost funding for basic services: a new fire station, a solar-powered resilience hub, and more
Farmers who voted for less government now begging for bailouts after Trumps policies cut the very USDA programs they depend on
The deeper irony: people who thought they were owning the libs are now watching their own jobs, hospitals, and safety nets get dismantled
