Since 1996, West Virginia swings hard right. To me, that's mainly the urban-rural, college-noncollege, left progressive v. populist conservative dynamic we see basically everywhere in America, in or out of the South (swing from 96-20) https://t.co/KcBdcxhUAZ — PolitiTweet.org

When you put it all together, WV is the only plausibly Southern state--or even *area*, to add in eastern TN--that fits all of these things: --votes GOP post-war --leans Dem post-New Deal, and post-Civil Rights/southern strat --doesn't even trend R post-48 --below avg for Wallace — PolitiTweet.org

This is the era when West Virginia politics do start to seem more southern. Yes, much of this pattern is just that it's more rural--like dependence on the natural resource extraction, a large number of gun owners, low college grad rates, etc — PolitiTweet.org
