Uprising in the rust belt
Subtitle: They used to be Democrats. Now they really could hand Donald Trump the White House.
The story focuses on working class, industrial Pennsylvania, devastated by decades of free trade in steel and again by the Democrats' wars on coal and shale oil, both of which promise to get much worse.
Of course they worry about Social Security and Medicare, but they have to privilege jobs for today over retirement security for tomorrow.
And they think Trump is better for jobs.
Their jobs, anyway.
