MORGANTOWN, W.Va.—Atop a hill just west of this university town stands a gleaming 400-acre entertainment and recreation complex, converted in recent years from a former coal mine.
To Morgantown residents, Mylan Park, which last year added a $48 million state-of-the-art aquatic center, serves as a sign of the city’s recent ability to thrive, even as much of the state and region have struggled from job losses and a shrinking population. Yet as the city of 30,000 on the Monongahela River, home to hospitals and West Virginia University, has grown more prosperous and shed some of its blue-collar roots, it also has become more politically polarized, at least compared to surrounding rural counties that have tilted toward Republicans.
Now as many residents look ahead to a Biden administration, they are split between hope and trepidation. Some 46% of jobs in Morgantown and surrounding Monongalia County are now in management, education, law and other white-collar fields—the highest share of any West Virginia county, according to an analysis by the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan public policy organization.
Universities draw in people who hate the USA and don’t share a common understanding of the history or culture with the locals . Then they bring in students they train to hate their country as well.
