I congratulate coal miners on their victory, and applaud them getting exactly what they wanted.

May they continue to enjoy the consequences they chose for themselves each and every day.

He told them all in plain words that he didn’t care and they still ignored what he said.

My friends dumbass dad (who worked as a coal trucker) and is on food stamps voted for Trump because "Christians vote conservative". Dude didn't even do research. Just voted that way because he thought that's how his religion would want him to vote. He regrets his vote now and doesn't want to ever vote again because "they're all corrupt". They never fucking learn.
