But absurdly enough, 4chan is exempt from this because all activity on there is anonymous.

Don't think that's it, it has no footprint in Australia. Meta, &Google, X etal all do, same as piefed.social, lemmy.world etal have no Australian base. aussie.socal users can just move to another server. I'm an Aussie.

Similarly UK has tried to get 4chan, kiwifarms etc but they have no UK footprint so they just ignore them.

‘Deeply demoralizing’: how Trump derailed coal country’s clean-energy revival (www.theguardian.com)
 

But on his first day in office, Donald Trump scrapped Biden’s clean energy and environmental programs, which he lambasted as woke, anti-American liberal hoaxes.

The 2022 cash injection came through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Biden’s landmark climate and infrastructure legislation, and was designed to help revitalize and strengthen former coal communities over the long haul.

It was the largest investment in Appalachia since the 1960s’ “war on poverty” under Lyndon Johnson.

but like many blue-collar regions is now part of the loyal Maga base who believed Trump when he pledged to resuscitate coal country and put American first.

Trump has won big in West Virginia in the past three general elections, securing every county in 2024 with an average of 70% of the vote – the highest percentage any party has won in the state’s history. His vote share was even larger in rural counties including Clay and Wayne, which Huntington straddles.

So you'd expect anger at Trump but you'd be wrong !

yet many of those interviewed by the Guardian blame Washington politics generally rather than Trump.
