He jumped on the winning horse and then crammed a bunch of the GOP's money into the race late to ensure the win. This wasn't some candidate who made his name by supporting Trump, this was a guy who was likely going to win before Trump got involved. He's a coal lobbyist.

Thanx to 2.5 generations of misinformation because of Reagan's getting rid the fairness doctrine,
Right/White wing christian Evangelicals and their pastors, the crushing of public education in OH,
massive gerrymandering, dirty voting machines, and generational stupidity much of Ohio has become
a wasteland of dumb fucks.

BTW they fly their Trump flags because they think it lets them "own the libs" and because they are
racists. However very soon I predict most of those flags will come down when Trump's treason and
crimes are exposed.

Trump has a 25% base of hardcore racists that will never leave him although "they"
might take their flags down if the news on Trump gets too bad. Sadly even though I
live in liberal Clintonville I know and have had dealings with people who still think that
the terrorists who stormed the Capitol are real patriots.

And they would be derided as too Liberal.

Ohio is bad. Really bad.

I grew up there until I was 18 and it is far more backward than any state I have ever seen.

Stay far away unless you are in one of the Big 3 C cities.
