    So they pollute, they raise the price of power for Michigan residents, they don’t provide any needed power, everyone in charge wants them closed down and local people don’t want them either. Is Trump ordering them to stay open just because informed and responsible people say they should close? Is it just the government equivalent of rolling coal in the face of a cyclist because you’re bitter about how your life has gone?

      The entire motivation for the typical con voter is to metaphorically and sometimes literally, roll coal in the face of others. Even if it affects them, too. It’s about hatefulness and spite and cruelty to others.

      This is the party that will let Taco take a dump in their mouth if they think a liberal would have to smell it, too.

      It’s because part of his base is ousted coal miners that haven’t caught up with the program that coal is obsolete. They refuse to believe it because they imagine that that’s what made their lives, and in turn, America great.
