@StillIRise1963 Yes, obviously that's part of it. When I lived in Florida I was shocked at the racism I saw. But here in West Virginia, I see virtually no racism amongst the white people I associate with. There's intermarriage, my roommate is black, my coworkers are a mixed bag. Nobody seems to care about race. Here, these white folks absolutely adore Trump. "He's like me." "He speaks for me." And he's "not a damned libbural." They hate "crooked Biden" with a fiery passion. These people are politically brainwashed by watching nothing but Fox News. Every home, every barber shop, every bar, it's Fox News. If you throw facts at them their face goes blank and they start yawning. It's a cult with millions of members.

Anyway, I'm not disagreeing with you. There's just more to the equation than racism alone.

@3dogcouch @StillIRise1963 Shockingly gullible, for sure.

Your comment made me chuckle. Living amongst West Virginians I've noticed a common thread. Most every West Virginian I know thinks they're better than everyone else, including their kids and siblings. It's the "me-supremacy" culture.
