Hillary Clinton
won just five votes from Texas’s King County in last year’s
presidential election, a stunningly low total from what was once a
true-blue source of votes for Democrats.
John F. Kennedy won 77 percent of the vote in King County in 1960, three years after the town of Guthrie was immortalized in “On the Road.” Author Jack Kerouac would have visited a deeply Democratic bastion when he rushed through Guthrie, but more than 50 years later the area has turned almost completely against Democrats, highlighting a dramatic change in voting patterns that both parties are struggling to manage.
Clinton’s five votes in King County represented her lowest total of any county in America. Trump received 149 votes in the county, which is an hour and a half east of Lubbock.

If you look at the map of Alabama you will see a top tier of red counties. This represents the most of the 4th Congressional District represented by Robert Aderholt. My county, Winston, which is in that "swath" was the most overwhelming pro-Trump county in the entire United States. Ironically, most of those counties were pro-Union during the Rebellion though most counties supplied soldier to both armies. What will become of the Southern Highland "rebels" and other "parisans" across our once great nation?

A crying shame.
