Sanders was overwhelmingly popular there, because he addressed class oppression. But the identity politickers sneered at them for being dirty white workers. Kos celebrated their covid mortality.

Bear in mind, there are klan types there, but also a lot of simple honest workers who were ready to hear a message of class oppression. Instead, we drove them into Fox News' arms.

This is. a state where the US Army Air Corps bombed striking workers. We could have had them.
