Piketown, 8 February, 2021 (TON): U.S. Senate to begin Trump impeachment trial this week but in rural Pennsylvania, support for the former US president still runs deep.

Months after the federal election, large Trump banners still hang from verandas or cling to the facades of small houses dotted along the road in the small town. Wooden Trump signs are stomped into the snow as if to mark the territory and to say, “It's not over”.

In the region, the political divide between blue Democrats and red Republicans is mirrored in the geographical lines that run between urban and rural.

In Piketown and the surrounding area, around 74% voted for Trump in the November 2020 presidential election.

Trump's impeachment following the riots at the US Capitol on January 6 has found little support among the residents of this small village. They remain loyal to their former president.

"It is no lie that some media are covering up the 80,000 people that are about America," a resident told the media, in reference to the election outcome in Pennsylvania. President Joe Biden officially won the state by some 80,000 votes.

For some Biden is not the right choice for unity, some say accountability matters, some questions on how the country will come together again. These words divide America once for all.
