… problem is that in coal country the miners and former miners are constantly being
fed lies that coal will make a comeback and that comeback is being stopped by radical
environmentalists who don’t understand their and the real world. However the vast majority
of coal miners and their families know that coal is dead but most of them will not admit that
publicly. Trump is more than happy to stoke their anger and tell them and others that he
will bring back the good old days when main street in towns in coal country were alive with
business and people but even back in the boom days and now most young people can’t
wait to move out those areas.
