this is an incredible op ed
it truly gets to the heart of these guys being fucking creeps with too much power more than anything
every state needs a version of this
I love these comments about Ohio being pro-Trump … as a historically deeply purple state, with blue cities, completely screwed by gerrymandering. You guys really understand electoral politics. Great job.
Look way harder at our politics here. No one cares about our politics until there’s a presidential election - instead of paying attention to what sets up the GOP for an Ohio win. We are fcked via corruption, the school board is toast, it’s really really bad and we fight it hard.
Gerrymandering does have an effect on turnout over time. It can increase that "why vote when it doesn't make a difference" attitude. I think it's the wrong attitude to have, but have definitely seen that here.
I live in Ohio. The moment Brown was even a question for re-election, this state went red. We've gone further right than even Kasich, who was a Tea Party darling like 12 years ago.
It’s been wild to see unfold. We used to be on LGBTQ travel blogs as underrated and now we are attacking trans kids at school. I swear if they pass this bill to take the bag from weed taxes and centralize it for pilfering, I will lose it.
No, of course I don’t, and you’re the one who brought up gerrymandering, not me. You guys elected Vance to the Senate in 2022 and DeWine to the statehouse in 2018. That’s not explained by gerrymandering.
No kidding, but it’s explained by literally a decade of far right GOP meddling at a state level, because no Republican has ever won the White House without Ohio. They did notice the pattern before Trump - shocker that we suddenly went red, or maybe related to the coup being set-up for years? Hm!
Called Gov. DeWine this am about potential Medicaid cuts and again, mailbox full. The Oh Senate President said Ohio Constitution requires a balanced budget, no choice it was amended many yrs ago requiring our schools be funded equitably by the state not our property taxes. STILL WAITING ON THAT!
They are planning to ram through legislation that people on Medicaid have to work to keep their benefits, even if they're disabled, yet they are taking jobs away in every field. Where are we supposed to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps without any boots?
Ohio hasn't been a democracy since the 2010 census reallocation. GOP rode Tea Party to a gerrymandered map and have since simply ignored the unconstitutionality of it. Ohio isn't alone. Same shit's happened in NC, WI. It's depressed statewide turnout as Dem votes don't matter anymore.
I do feel sympathy for those who didn't vote that way and yet have to suffer regardless. I should have been more clear in that sense. I guess, in a way, anyone who didn't vote for this is a victim.
Nah, no need. Thats me towards TX, FL, et al red states knowing full well and good there’s blue cities and people like me. It’s the implicit ‘fuck you red voters’.
Ohio voters knew what he was and were fine with his racism, misogyny, mocking of the disabled. And they still voted for him. No sympathy at all for them.
Yeah I’m not a fafo person but the large scale Republican farmers I have no sympathy for. they have been living off govt teat—subsidies, bail outs, manipulated trade policies, tax loopholes—while railing and voting against “socialism” for decades
Not to mention poisoning the water and killing the bees to grow corn and soybeans for pigs and cattle, propping up a heinous system of chemicals animal abuse and environmental degradation
I totally get that. I'm in a red state as well, and our farmers are MAGA all the way and STILL haven't figured out how much Trump/Musk screwed them. I think the only way the MAGA cult will ever wake up is if we let them get exactly what they voted for.
My state has gone from purple to red over the last decade+. Now we enter the FO stage. Will the majority of my fellow Ohioans ever learn? Will critical thinking make a comeback? Negative repercussions need to be felt unfortunately. Empathy for those that voted otherwise.
And the admin is going to simply ignore them. As will all of their reps and senators. I feel somewhat bad since this is their livelihood but they stumped for and supported open nazis so.
Conservatives have no idea what the government does. They think it does nothing, and local politicians demonize it, but all the while most of rural America is utterly dependant on the federal government
They fucked U.S.
Like they fuck children.
The pedophiles screwed America.
Remove the Tax Exempt Status of American Churches and fund public education. End the cults of proud ignorance, gullibility, violence, hate, pedophilia, greed, and tRump.
Christians stormed our capitol and smeared their 💩.
You are describing things that politicians did. Im not saying people who voted for them are purely innocent, but your wrath is better directed at the people actually wielding the machinery of death. Just a thought
Let's not forget that my state elected the likes of Vance and Moreno. And has a governor who sent Husted to the Senate. We have some of the most gullible voters in the union.
Musk, Trump & RFK Jr., et al, can't have anybody who can refute them. They can't baffle the gullible with bull**** forever though. What then? What's the end game for those clowns, if we all die from preventable diseases & tainted food & poisoned air & water?? Who will fill their coffers then?

Republicans do this to other people; they've been doing it forever.
The GOP and every last one of its voters are a goddamned cancer on civilization.
This state has committed suicide.
Murder-suicide, because we’ve terrorized some vulnerable people who had nothing to do with it.
Too late for regrets now.
Fucking nazi kkkristiankkkunts.
Can you guess why?
Many of us did what we could but the racism about “illegals” and the inflation that took down all incumbents globally was a strong headwind.
I’m also fine with MAGA farmers in the find out stage but I try not to write off a whole state.
- a blue gay dot in a red state
Their whole existence is a pox
Since they can’t have empathy, they have to experience it. Unfortunately, we all will but I’m more protected than many of them financially.
FAFO
Will you be next?
The people put this evil in power. Time to take responsibility and purge the poison.
We saw how this goes. History repeats when we don't learn the lesson.
Speak up & act out.
Here is one small way. #resist

I guess we're not included.
We now have two choices. Live free or kneel to your MAGA king like a slave.
Color? Gender? Race? Immigrant? Rural? Urban? Worker? Boss? Poor? Rich? Red? Blue? Your flag is one of these.
I know which one is mine.
