For those of you who don't know,. Fayette County is in SW Pa, it borders WVa and a small part of MD to the south and Westmoreland county to the north and Green county to the west. It's generally rural, poor and high school educated.

It's interesting their delight stems from all the "culture wars" EOs. None of this stuff really affects them.

Only one person who was interviewed mentioned hoping the economy gets better. Another person said that cracking down on immigrants would open more jobs for Americans. Of course, all those jobs like janitoral, bussing tables, washing dishes, picking those Chambersburg peaches and other crops, currently done by migrant workers and immigrants are beneath them.

I wonder what they'll think when the money to fund rural broadband expansion or for fixing their roads or funding their local schools or even their entitlements dries up and the costs of daily living starts rising again? None of that part of Trump's plan has kicked in yet.
