Reminds me of that Alabama mayor who was recently begging the EPA not to make the Trump changes (they have had multiple coal ash problems) that would potential hurt his town again. I looked the county up and they voted like 80% Trump.

It’ll be interesting to see whether this changes their perspective or not. Popular Bluff is supported as a town by this Corporation. Without it, the town will likely die in most appreciable ways. Will they still be all in for the GOP after the town dies and like many ruined manufacturing towns, most will be on welfare and drugs will become an even greater problem for them. Or will they recognize this is a direct result of the man they personally supported?

My guess will be that those personally affected (those in Poplar Bluff) will most certainly change their views. However, the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters will somehow see this as the sacrifice needed to reach some endpoint for the common good. It doesn’t matter if in reality there is no endpoint, they’ll keep telling themselves there is until they too are somehow personally affected in a negative way.
