I'm a West Virginian and it's been really something seeing our Trump-supporting politicians completely dumbfounded that he would cut funds to the state that were already appropriated. The magical thinking that it will only ever affect someone else.
They are going to find out that the trans community isn’t getting the money like some believed. Immigrants help the economy & pay taxes & not all Black/POC are on welfare. Poor white people & families with loved ones with disabilities are going to be slapped with the truth. trump & his ilk lie & lie
You would be wrong. Anyone that is really a social services advocate would never vote republican. Never. I have worked in social services for 10+ years. Social workers by nature are very left. They want to lift up the disadvantaged and needy.
In West Virginia, you can be sure that the community the NGO serves is replete with Republican voters. "Community" here doesn't mean those employed by the non-profit. It's the people who live in the served areas.
If you don't believe me, take a look at the map. Every county but one went strongly for Trump; one county in the north went a bit less strongly for Trump. I doubt that even Manchin would have won in the last election. No actual Democrat would have had a prayer of winning statewide.
I live in a red state and work for social services. Everyone is very left leaning. Sure there could be outliers, but most don’t go into non profit work if they believe what republicans believe.
