11. They forgot their ancestors who died fighting to make life better for them.

The fight for unions, the fight for safer conditions, better pay. The fight for a chance to live a decent life. Just a chance.

They broke free of the company store only for their grandchildren, great-grandchildren and gr. gr. grandchildren to bow down to the company store.

There is no greater wrong for anyone in Appalachia - than to shame that memory.

Republicans/Trump represent everything evil about the company store - because they are the company store. (I alone...can save you. I own you. You owe me. You'll never be free. Shut up and work. Work. Die. Work. Die. - Die. Die. Die.)

You forgot the warnings.

You forgot who you really are and where you really come from.

You forgot.
