What really pissed me off was that it was just a few miles from the Union Miners Cemetery, where Mother Jones is buried. She's rolling in her grave. In another generation, just one, we're going to need another woman to step up and lead the "working man" and the unions like she did. Because a bunch of bigots and paranoids voted for a sociopath like Donald Fucking Trump.
