I would not all be surprised if a sizable chunk of the WV population sympathized at least somewhat with Hitler's views. I think a good chunk of the state would stay home, but Hitler would still win. There is absolutely no way Colin Kaepernick wins a state full of lots of racist white people.
West Virginia was a state that gave George Wallace less % of the vote than the nation did as a whole
That doesn't make them not racist? The fact that they swung so far away from the Democrats in 2008 tells you all that you need to know.
WV trended similarly GOP from 2004-2008 as it did in 1996-2000 as well . It’s just that trends slowed down a bit in 2004 like they usually do in re-election campaigns like they usually do .
The fact is WV started trended around 10 points Republican every cycle beginning in 2000 with the only exceptions being 2004 which was due to the the fact that trends slow down in the re-election bids and 2020 cause of that factor and the ceiling factor . Once you take that into account it makes perfect sense that WV swung R in 2008 as the nation still didn’t swing D by more than an 10 points
