I don't even feel sorry for them. They've failed themselves.

Let's see what Trump and the GOP-backed oligarghy do for the voters in Youngstown and all the other towns like it in the Rust Belt. I fear these voters are in for a rude awakening.

If Trump let's them down, they're no worse off then they've been under Biden.
