I Went To The Most Liberal Place In West Virginia

You aren't gonna believe this part of West Virginia!
This is not your normal West Virginia. We’re in Morgantown, home to West Virginia University. It’s by far the most liberal place in this state. You could actually draw a circle for 500 miles and not find a higher concentration of Democrats.
People in Morgantown take pride in being ‘different’ then the rest of West Virginia. The liberals here’ll tell ya - we’re educated and a lot of us have good jobs. We have big world aspirations. We’re not dumb chew spitting inbred hicks.
I’m here because I wanted to see what it was like and talk to some of the people who live here in this mysterious, rare liberal land.
This was day 3 on my great Appalachian adventure, and the first stop in West Virginia - the only state that’s completely in the Appalachian region. We’re gonna spend the next four stops here in the mountain state. There’s plenty of time to see poverty and rundown and the effects of drugs. But we’re gonna begin in a different type of place. I think.

This was one of the most cherry picked videos about West Virginia and particularly Morgantown that I’ve ever seen. You left out that Morgantown is home to a Power 5 University, with research capabilities that are on par with the biggest higher education institutions in the world. You left out that Morgantown has one of the U.S. Government National Labs that is innovating every day to solve the world’s energy problems. You left out the beautiful neighborhoods of Suncrest, Cheat Lake, and the surrounding area that boast multi-million dollar homes and instead showed the run down parts that every city has, regardless of location. You tailored this video to what the vast majority of people’s preconceived notions of what West Virginia is like rather than showing what it truly is; a state with a wide diversity of view points, with people fiercely loyal to it and willing to help almost anyone, regardless of beliefs or differences. I implore you to revisit this and make a video that truly captures what the people stand for. It’s a true shame.

I was born and raised in the Appalachians. I'm now in Northern VA but have a lot of family in WV and have followed developments in WV. The issues impacting WV are many and complex. But here's a simple issue: people don't like condescension and one does not need a college education to recognize it. After watching this video, I can understand why the "drunk redneck" had his feathers ruffled in the beginning. He likely saw the condescension. Everyone has something of value to say - don't try to engage in conversation if you refuse to recognize that.

Be careful going around the Appalachians, Nick. This is the second time you have encountered aggressive behavior (in McCreary County, KY and now WV). There are a lot of good, God-fearing people living in that region but also some of the more hardcore, more intense people probably because they were hardened by poverty all their lives. When the government regulates their livelihoods to the point of extinction, it's easily understandable the bitterness and frustration they might feel when dealing with outsiders. When I was in the military, I had a few West Virginians in my platoon. They're some of the most humble, down to earth fellas I've ever associated with. Stay safe, bro and thank you for your videos.

Peruvian chicken was a total win, some of the best fried chicken of my life, ate trout almondine which was excellent and best Mexican food of my life, and that's after living 40 years in CA which has top notch Mexican grub. We thought the state was great and hope to go back soon for the scenery, food and people.
