I live near the poorest county in the nation... Predominantly white... I'm sure they would like some of that "white privilege"

Not judging, just a factoid discovered over the years that keeps popping up.

95% republican now... was a democratic stronghold

I don't have the full history on the politics there, but I know they had a Republican majority in 2012 when I first started working for left wing sites. If I were to conjecture, I'd guess they were a stronghold of the Dixiecrats that migrated to the GOP in the 70s and 80s.

oops i replied to myself lol... my grandfather used to vote straight dem. ticket... he'd be horrified how far left they went... i'm more centrist... balance... no party should be dominant over the other

The problem I see is over the last 40 years is the Democrats moving towards to right. Neoliberals. Compare them to the GOP of the 50s, and you'll be close. The conservative Dixiecrats balanced out the liberal Democrats for a halfway decent party. As the Dixiecrats moved to the GOP, the moderate Republicans moved to the Democratic party. Moderate Conservatives moved that party the right, which meant the conservative GOP had to move further to the right. Yeah, your grandfather would be shocked at how liberal the party has become because, I'll assume, he was a part of the Southern, conservative, Democrats. As a Yankee, I'm disgusted how far to the right they've moved. The balance no longer exists

i will have to stand corrected on owsley, KY... thought it was closer to the WV/KY border... mcdowell co. wv had more registered democrats than ppl living in the county lol

Not sure where in WV Grandpa was from, but I don't doubt it.

The DNC has gone full bore corrupt this year. Worse than the Tammany Hall scandals of the 1800s.

I can't think of a single one I'd support.
