A good friend of mine did a book on how West Virginians joined the Union during the Civil War, seceding from Virginia with encouragement from Abraham Lincoln. Today, their idol is not Lincoln, but John Wilkes Booth.
But this may give an idea of why Joe Manchin votes as he does.

When we lived there (and loved it) in the late 70's, the Civil War was still being wrangled, with one side of the county (split by a mountain) Yankees, the other side Rebels. But both sides were good, "do anythin' fer ya" people. This breaks my heart. Trumpism is a malicious disease.
I have been thinking a lot today about the abject cruelty of rich people like DT, DeSantis, and Musk trafficking in hate and disinformation. You would think their money would make them happy but it doesnтАЩt appear to. They appear to delight in other peopleтАЩs despair. ThatтАЩs not going away anytime soon.
Too much credit. In a blood red state Manchin was the only Dem to be elected because on the WV ballot there was a wink emoji rather than a D after his name.

Or maybe why Manchin is retiring? To stay out of this mess? Or am I giving him too much credit?

Waaaay too much credit.
