5. As "rants" go...

yours is excellent. There's not much that can be added to your assessment of the situation in "coal country". Trump keeps promising that the entire "coal way of life" will return to West Virginia, when only a few coal jobs have been added. It's always easier to desire a return to a former time period or way of life, than it is to learn a new skill and change the fundamental way of life in an area so rich with coal history. It's never going to be the same again, but that doesn't stop Trump from lying to these people, telling them it will. Human nature - like water - seems always to take the path of least resistance. Listening toTrump's lies is the easiest thing to do.
