This was a segment on CNN while I was at the gym.
The volume was down, so I was reading the text on the screen.
Supposedly, this town or county in Kentucky, has voted Democratic for 144 years.
This year, it went for Trump.

They interviewed some of the town folk. They were all obviously senior citizens. By appearance they weren't well off.
Each one said they'd voted for Clinton twice and Obama twice, but decided Trump's business sense beat out Hillary in this election.

I don't know if I should cry or shake my head: the GOP is already talking about bringing down Medicare and Social Security, and they aren't even in power yet. Those folks CNN interviewed are going need someone to lift their jaws off the floor, very soon.

What irritates me (along with the dumb fucks that voted for Trump) is that CNN didn't bother asking these previously dedicated Democrats, how they feel about the GOP being in power now, and what they will probably do to SS and Medicare.
