Kentucky coal jobs DECLINE. Media silent

3. I don't understand why coal jobs get special treatment

Any other job loss, every other republican is like, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps; find work in another field; take some classes, go back to school!" But with coal it's, "Oh, we must protect the little angels and their jobs!" It doesn't even make sense from going after their votes standpoint as there are fewer and fewer people in those jobs, and chances are coal states are going to go to republicans anyway so republicans don't need to do anything, and democrats might as well be pushing alternative jobs and retraining programs in the hopes some of those dumbass coal miners might wake up, look at the world around them, and say, "Y'know, republicans have been screwing us over, jobs are disappearing, the bosses honestly don't care about our safety and health, and even if I was guaranteed steady employment, I'm still going to be poor. Maybe I should do something, otherwise my children and their families will either be stuck in a worse coal job situation than I am or having to make the decision to leave." Is it like an automatic thing like, "Boy, do I love corn!" when politicians visit Nebraska, or is a combination of Jesus-is-coming-back-soon-so-who-cares-what-we-do-environmentally groups and I-can-only-get-an-erection-when-I'm-destroying-nature conservatives?
