Nevermind the deregulation coming that removes the black lung masks that they don't believe in anyway, the cancer care they won't afford, the global warming acceleration causing Oklahoma F6 tornadoes that will reach all the way to Tennessee eventually, after all, they'll be safe underground in the coal dust. Nevermind their unions will get busted up, so they can be paid a pittance, lose pension and benefits, live on vienna sausages and dollar store crackers.

And Dwonald Twump will still be their Nazi savior from all those terrible Muslim mexican transgender immigrant welfare queens stealing their jobs, uh, and... and... and...
