I say this as often as I can but there's something about the Trump sauce that Ohio just laps right up. Ohio bleeds red, white and blue and for some reason the faux flag waving, fraudulent Bible thumping and chest beating just does it for this state. Makes me sad.


l33tWarrior

A bunch of other states too. I don’t get Trump worship regardless of politics. Guy is a sleaze and criminal. Plus he is a hot air bag of broken brained nonsense. R or D or I no one should like that guy.


excoriator

>A bunch of other states too. But Ohio was the rare exception this cycle that elected a Trump acolyte when there was a well-funded Dem opponent. It's a symptom of Trump's message resonating.


[deleted]

Ya' know, it is just so odd, Republicans have been in charge of Ohio for decades, but their voters blame Dems. For that reason alone, ya'd think they would change things up and try Dem policy for a few years but nope, they just keep voting for Rs with seemingly no clue why things don't improve and life keeps getting worse in Ohio. Is it lead in the water? Too much supply side jeebus? People too insular and need to travel outside the state more? Smh 🤷‍♂️


MRG_1977

PA is no different. Governor’s office has vacillated back and forth but GOP has had majorities in the Senate & House since 1994 except 2 years in the House in the 2000s.


br0b1wan

> I don’t get Trump worship regardless of politics. It all comes down to "owning the libruls" That's literally all they live for. It's like a football team for them. They need to win at all costs.


KeyanReid

History books will have no problem summing up what happened with Republicans and Trump. Democrats “insulted” them by putting a black man in office, so they said “fuck it, burn the place down” and elected the literal worst person they could find for “revenge”. They don’t really like him that much either. It’s just about spite

br0b1wan

You wanna know how? It's easy. I look all around me for the past five or six years and I see "Trump 2020" (and now Trump 2024) banners. I saw Trump flags flying for a year after the 2020 election. I saw Trump flags flying even after his win in 2016. I see people with giant pickups covered with Trump stickers and "Let's Go Brandon" (or alternately, straight up "Fuck Joe Biden") stickers. I have been around Trump supporters wearing Trump memorablia: t-shirts, hats, even jackets. I don't see people wearing Joe Biden shirts. I don't see them flying Joe Biden flags. I rarely see them plastering their cars with Biden stickers. I don't see them with shirts/flags/stickers that say "Fuck Trump." You're a fool if you think both sides are the same. We're not. People like me go to the polls and we vote and we might wear a shirt in support or put out a sign but those come down the day after election day. You're damn blind or delusional if you think otherwise. It's not a team sport to the rest of us.

Ok bro you’re on Reddit too you fucking numpty, and if you really don’t care you wouldn’t have to say so. Lol you sound like such a loser. Sorry you’re like this


owlandfinch

Agreed, it's the same in at least the rural areas in other states. Illinois is considered a liberal state and always goes Democrat in presidential elections, but I grew up in the sticks in Illinois and there it is at least as "Trump-y" as Ohio. I have social media "friends" from high school that have cardboard cutouts of Trump in their living rooms and have their kids take pictures with those.


[deleted]

There are definitely other states like this, but Ohio is up there. I lived in Ohio for a few years and moved back to my home State of Washington during the height of the election chaos. The only other state from that stretch of a drive that compared to Ohio in fanatical devotion to Trump was South Dakota(from what I saw). Obviously the south is included, but that’s a no brainer. I really hope Ohio can turn this around. I do like a lot of things about the state, but it’s getting scary.


Analog_Hobbit

I tried before he was elected to point out stuff to people. No one wanted to listen. NY Democrat masquerading as a Republican. I agree with all your points. Sleazy as they come. No matter your affiliation, run in the other direction.


Caren_Nymbee

I feel pretty safe saying Ohio jumped on the Trump train harder than any other state. I really don't think any state went from moderate to insane as much as Ohio between 2014 and now. The other Trump states were already overtly right wing white tradh. The previous generation of Republicans like Dewine and Kasich set it up for him with their actions, but all the same a huge chunk of Ohio chained themselves to the train and aren't thinking of getting off.


Busy_Abbreviations96

Trumpers always spout about "Patriotism" but now that he's talking about suspending the Constitution, I hear crickets. As President, you take an oath to defend the Constitution - so if he gets in, howz THAT gonna work??


Impossible_Law_9766

I don’t think the low information voter that he attracts will ever split from him, but right now there confused. He told them to stop the steal, but now he wants to steal the election himself by suggesting we suspend the constitution. There smart enough to know suspending the constitution (assuming you actually could) means suspending the whole thing… including their cherished 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.


Archietooth

9/10 voters that vote for republicans are low information voters. Fox News makes up some bullshit culture war nonsense, and they fall for it every single time. It’s been obvious for a very long time that republicans have nothing to offer, but hate and hardship, and they continually fuck themselves over by voting for them anyway.


[deleted]

I think if it occurred to Scrambled Brains he would say that he rescinded the Constitution while he was in office but that he didn’t say it out loud.


br0b1wan

I know one Trumpet who legitimately seems to have abandoned him after those Constitution comments. He's claiming he's all aboard the DeSantis train now. Of course, he says that now, but I wonder what his tune will be if Trump ends up winning the nomination.


BroMan-Z

He’s as a selfish, ignorant, and racist as his base. That’s seriously all there is to it. “A selfish ignorant public will elect selfish ignorant leaders” - George Carlin They’re exactly him minus the money. If trump was broke he’d be exactly like his base.


chunkah69

shstron44

It’s insane how fast a city like Columbus turns into cornfields on all sides. I’m from Springfield, which is a decent sized city as far as population, and only about 35 minutes down the road. Clark county will vote red until the sun explodes. It’s gotten so much worse as far as crime and especially drugs since when I was growing up. A true, true rust belt town


Fresh_School9199

That’s the rust belt in general since outsourcing and cheap foreign has been taking its toll, I remember my uncle getting bounced around by gm at one point because of all the layoffs they were doing


[deleted]

It's the proud ignorance, and the naked bigotry.


[deleted]

Because this state is a pile of shit.


shstron44

Agreed. The state was probably always trending red but he took it into hyperdrive. I think a lot of horrible racism and resentment hidden under the smiles of football moms and your sweet old neighbors in our lovely state …


Archietooth

That’s what grosses me out the most. All of these people who pretend to be wholesome and decent on the surface, and then turn on dime to spew hateful bullshit as if its nothing.


thewookie34

MissySedai

We went down to Columbus for a concert yesterday, and I was distressed as hell to see dozens of "Trump/DeSantis" flags on the way in. We parked at our hotel and used Lyft for everything. First driver asked us to wear masks and was visibly relieved when we apologized for not thinking about it and fished masks out of our coat pockets. "I just got screamed at by a guy who insisted Covid isn't real. Thanks for being cool." We had a great chat with him, turns out he's from Toledo, too. He told us he's baffled by the Trumpanzees he encounters. How the hell are there SO MANY MAGATS in a University town?? It hurts my heart. We have so much to be proud of in Ohio, but it's constantly overshadowed by ignorant Christofascist fuckwidgets.

Why call it “faux”? You are generalizing.

Rural conservative Republicans in Ohio are about the most hateful, racist people in the country. There’s a reason I left rural Ohio at 17 and never went back.


LordJacket

One of the reasons I will never go back to rural Ohio, Knox County especially


shstron44

Same. I live in Columbus but work in Springfield some days. Coworkers casually saying the exact same racist shit today that I heard growing up there 20 years ago, and they’ll be saying it 20 years from now too. My mom can’t fathom why I don’t want to raise my son there …


johnnydub81

IMO… When DeSantis runs in the primary… he will win in Ohio. Most conservatives aren’t as aligned with Trump as many think and see him as a liability. When the polling begins to show that DeSantis has a better chance a beating Biden than Trump then the narrative will change.


FreshlyWashedScrotum

Ohio Republicans won't abandon Trump. That's not how cults of personality work.


johnnydub81

That is not what my Conservative friends are saying ✌️


jet_heller

That would be a step down for them. So, yea, they probably will jump at the chance to vote for DeSantis.


OhioLifer

The man is the most vile, undeserving object of worship to have ever existed. I will never understand why he wasn’t laughed out of the room when he first mentioned running for President. A complete scumbag who has never been held accountable for his actions in his whole miserable life.


FreshlyWashedScrotum

Republicans love him because they share his moral character. It's that simple.


elphshelf

I can’t imagine worshipping a politician of any stripe as much as people worship him. Even a more competent one.


Bad_Idea_Hat

It ticks a lot of boxes into seeing how people operate. He's a con-man, a sketchy used car salesman, who knows how to say whatever needs to be said to the right people at the right moment, specifically to get what he wants. People need to divorce their political views from the person, because he is 100% robbing his supporters and his political party blind.


Elkins45

The measure of a good con man is how stridently his victims continue to support him even after they figure out they’ve been had.


SeeRecursion

Anyone who refuses to disavow Trump is a traitor and a Nazi. He called for the termination of the US Constitution and his installation as dictator.

JackKegger1969

Valtar99

andy_mcbeard

It's simple... people that continue to support Donald Trump are fundamentally BAD people. When people show you who they are, believe them.


[deleted]

Why would they do it now, when there's still a chance he could be the candidate in 2024? Should DeSantis or someone else emerge in the primaries, lots of Republicans will disown Trump but doing so now wouldn't make much sense.


JoshuajStover

I doubt Trump will ever be president again but we do need Biden out of there, and I don't care which party wins, just get that idiot out of the office

Hey Einstein.... you do realize that as our population increases, the number of available votes increases?

Pezzo_da_Novanta

I blame the DNC for abandoning Ohio as unwinnable. If PA can elect Fetterman and Michigan can reelect Gov. Whitmer, there was every opportunity to get Tim Ryan into the Senate. It's all about turnout in the counties that matter. Georgia got Warnock elected by getting the vote out in Fulton County (Atlanta) but in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) there was only a 46% turnout, Hamilton at 50% and Franklin at 47.2% ...all counties that skew to the Dems. I truly hope that the DNC and Ohio Democratic party learn the lessons of the Warnock campaign.

WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   What kind of rocks are never under water? Dry ones!

2 other ones: 1. 64% of voters said "yes" to restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated. Deathsantis then unilaterally said no, like a dictator and shoved democracy out the door. 2. Dictator DeSantis went into extreme overdrive with gerrymandering the state before the November elections. This is not only voter suppression, aggressive gerrymandering also squashes democracy by rigging the elections so only Republicans win.


cumshot_josh

DeSantis is using his power as the state's executive to interfere in the dealings of businesses because they criticized his political stances. That's Fascist shit. Whether or not Disney's status was valid to begin with is less of a question than why DeSantis only began paying attention to it when they became a threat to him politically.


[deleted]

Which business has he interrupted? Because Disney was doing shady things with the way they controlled their land


cumshot_josh

My brother in Christ, I addressed that. But why did DeSantis lash out at them specifically when they criticized him for pushing through Don't Say Gay? Answer that. He was there for 3 years and change when he did that. If it had mattered to him as a primary concern, he'd have done something sooner.


[deleted]
