It's hard to say, ultimately Oklahoma is the reddest state by county (in 2016, Ok and West Virginia were the only two states to have every county go red, and I think Wyoming joined them in 2020), but WV is in the heart of the eastern enclave of "Blue America", unfortunately for them.
Secession is a weird animal. It's illegal unless you do it successfully, then it's patriotic. Before it can be done, it has to be a thing that people are CERTAIN they want to do, and certain with enough of a critical mass they cannot be ignored. And, by nature, it tend to require at least part of the ruling class to support it - which is true of civil wars in general, and also of coups. Though "ruling class" can sometimes be more open here (disenfranchised nobles, military officers), it requires some basis of power to do.
That said, it's also the modern era. A civil war today would look VERY different than one in 1860.
As to the mood - people seem pissed, but also jovial. Still plenty of joke and shitposting going on.
