Kentucky is part of the long-corrupt South. Even when Jim Crow laws and black voter suppression became illegal, the corruption was too deep to route out.
McConnell’s seat was secured by election tampering the whole time. So Kentuckians didn’t vote for him, but they “voted” for him.
And Kentucky voted for this for what, 40 years? Hes held his seat since 1985. I wasn’t even born yet and I’m 40.
America is a fucking cesspool.

Add in a lot of that generational mentality of we’ve always voted this way and will continue to do so.
