    Maybe they should realize other people have families as well and stop voting to hurt said families?

      Every single guy with black lung voted republican? I don’t think that’s true.

        I mean, if it’s not every single one, it’s enough to keep states like West Virginia redder than any other state. Pretty sure Trump received 68% of their votes.

        Thays even worse, that the majority of them voted to shit on their fellow suffers as well as themselves is unforgivable IMO.
