... making sure that ALL THE VOTES ARE COUNTED. Because we have more of us and then they
are of "them." A few of these voters might vote blue if they see progressive/liberal programs
helping out their wallets but they have been fed hate and lies for generations and the dollars should
be spent where they can show a return. 2 winters ago I was in the area where western MD, VA,
and WV come together and back in the hills in the worst dog patches of little towns i saw in front
of more than one shack the following: A rebel flag, a Trump flag, and a NRA flag. Some voters
are just "gone" and we should not spend one second trying to get 'em back.

The farmers who are now having to plow their crops under because of Trump's trade war with
China, the coal miners who will never go back to mining coal, those who are just racist and sexist,
and the evangelical Christians who still support Trump despite his moral failings will still vote
against their own best interests time after time and nothing will ever change that in > 80% of the
cases.
