Who will win Elliott County, KY?

Hillary Clinton is a white, you see.

Oh I can't f***ing wait for West Virginia and eastern Kentucky to vote even more Republican in 2016 to blow this garbage logic out of the water.

It was true logic, until Obama was re-elected. That was the final straw for these people, and they now see all Democrats as part of an anti-white hate group. So yes, you're correct those areas will likely swing R, with Elliott voting for Trump.

Trump. It's a blue-collar white county in Kentucky. He's the capstone on the GOP's takeover of said demographic. Sad how Dems have ignored blue-collar whites.

Don't blame the Democrats that in many areas of the country blue collar whites prefer the party that stokes racial resentment. Democrats didn't ignore them, they just have their own priorities.

Man, this thread will never fail to make me laugh.

This thread looks really bad on a lot of Atlas Democrats in hindsight.

I just wish they would learn from their mistakes for once. So many people who thought Elliott would vote for Hillary then started insisting 2016 trends would not apply to 2018, and are now insisting 2016/2018 trends will not apply to 2020, lol.

I honestly have not seen one person predict that 2020 wouldn't be similar flavor-wise to 2016/2018 (though, I admit, I do try to avoid our trashier elections-based subforums).  I have seen people predict that post-Trump, we won't see such a strong division on the exact same factors that currently divide the country, but that is hardly the same.

Unless you completely disregard 2016/2018 trends there is no reason to believe that Ohio is more likely to flip than Arizona or Georgia. Yet many of our posters unironically believe this.
