My wife and I live above Sojourners. Not ones to exactly have a sign out for Hillary, but we did vote for her. We don’t support hate, and we didnt respond to Trump’s fear induced campaign.

Yes, these poor, oppressed people, mostly FOX watchers, with two cars in the garage, a roof over their heads, bountiful meals on the table every day, maybe a recreational vehicle in the yard and a few moderately expensive hobbies some other perks are so angry anout what they have. No. say I’m bad at that the people down the road might be on welfare, might be getting food stamps, Medicaid. period.

At least Hattie’s sign is still standing and her neighbors didn’t beat her up, or destroy her property…things that have been happening to Trump supporters on a regular basis.
We can thank the fear inciting and continuous bashing of Trump by a bias Media & the Clinton campaign.
The problem for Democrats is, they have listened to all the twisted information that came from the “Clinton News Networks”…They thought they had the facts. Democrats refused to engage with anyone that has a different opinion…
They protect “their bubble” of the world by shutting everyone else out and insulting them for having another opinion.
It’s so funny…now they are shocked because a large part of the Country thinks differently. Really??
When Trump was a Democrat these same politicians & media were friends with him.
Once he ran on the Republican ticket, he grew horns and became a demon.
Trump didn’t get votes because he convinced everyone that Hillary was evil…Hillary did that all on her own, by her own actions.
Donald Trump just confirmed what the rest of us already knew.
I’m glad I got to see this article because until now, I didn’t know what the Hillary signs looked like.

Republicans have “investigated” every move Hillary Clinton has made over the 30 years she has been in public service. She has never been found guilty of anything, but if certain media tell people she is evil over and over people come to believe it. Trump is a corporate man. The Republican Party has always been the Party of big business and proud of it. The Democratic Party is the party of the working class and the little guy. Trump is already appointing big business types to guide his administration.

You’re not alone Mary and Jim Mountain and Timothy Nichols. I’m with Hillary and you. Cannot understand how Trump was elected and what in the world he would do for our poor County.

I’m sad that the Mountains have been treated so horribly. This is still the United States of America. Regardless of race, religion, political stand. The Mountains are wonderful people, I’m confused why anyone would treat anyone badly over an election. This hasn’t happened before, atleast not to this extent. Just sad.

I live in Allegany county and I am a registered Democrat!! I hear what you are saying, Jim and Mary. I don’t flaunt my political views because I feel like the whole town is in opposition. I grew up in the city and moved to the country when I was a teen and never quite felt like others shared my views on things and I always thought it was because I came from the city and wasn’t related to half the town, but as an adult, I now see it very well could be the political views I have.

I love this article, Hattie! I need to stop and meet the Mountains! I thought I was the only Democrat in the area!
