Some do, not all.
Vance was on Face the Nation yesterday, along with a group of diverse, young guests. I wasn’t familiar with his book but I’m going to check my library for it.
My dad grew up in Appalachia (eastern PA/coal mines). After the Army he never went back. There were (are) no jobs there. The people who stay in these little towns and villages are often too frightened to leave. They cling to their “culture” (clans) and succumb to welfare and drug addiction. They don’t trust the government but they’ll take the check each month. If they voted for Trump and think he’ll bring them jobs they will be disappointed.
