17. IMO the best approach to WV and other red or swing states

is to bully through programs where the current GOP voters benefit and some feel safer and more hopeful about the future.

That is what FDR did. Use the Green New Deal to bring jobs and awareness to rural America.

Some folks are too lodged in their racism or church or selfishness. Some people also want to be good and be safe.
