‘We’re Doomed If He Loses’: The Impeached President trump’s Support Holds Firm In Pennsylvania Coal Country
During a 2016 political rally in Johnstown, western Pennsylvania, the-inevitably-will-be-impeached-if-elected-candidate-trump and made promises to the thousands in attendance, “Your jobs will come back under a Trump administration. Your steel will come back, your energy will be protected, it will be a whole different ball game. We’re also going to unleash the power of American energy right here in Pennsylvania: shale, oil, natural gas, clean coal and all the new infrastructure that comes along with it.”
The-inevitably-will-be-impeached-if-elected-candidate-trump made the same speech to all who would listen across the Rust Belt, in blue collar towns across rural Pennsylvania, and across Appalachia.
Blue collar workers in these regions believed every word, and nearly four years after helping put the-inevitably-will-be-impeached-if-elected-candidate-trump into the White House, the impeached president trump has done little to fulfill the promises to these poor suckers.
But, why should all Americans be forced to remain in the horse-and-buggy world of conservatives? We are one fifth of the way through the twenty-first century, with the burgeoning technologies that will soon leave the fossil-fueled internal combustion engine in the past as well as all coal-fired applications.
The reason, the conservatives’ and many centrists’ refusal to educate themselves and acquire the skills necessary to qualify for twenty-first century jobs. It’s the right-wingers’ need for jobs requiring limited skills such as coal mining, drilling for oil, etc., and other jobs similar to manufacturing buggy whips that keep pushing the United States further and further behind nations like China.
Members of the ruling billionaire class are more than happy to see these American workers choose to remain ignorant and limited in skills. The growing wealth gap is good for the billionaires. Even better, they can find the skilled employees they need overseas. Also, since conservatives fight all attempts to increase minimum wage, members of the ruling billionaire class know they will always have the unskilled workers they need, and, these loyal, unskilled folk, will also fight against any form of a raise in pay.
Conservatives and many centrists are still patiently awaiting Reagan’s “trickle down” to begin, and are confident that, when it does, they will be on Easy Street. They need only vote Republican, election after election after election... More of that horse-and-buggy thinking that has served them so well.
