I live in a reddish/purple area of IN. There's a lot of FAFO going on around here....

Much of my area is proudly Independent (although right leaning) and I have never heard as much disdain for repukes in the last 15 years I've lived here as I've heard in the last few weeks. Between the redistricting attempt by Braun (people around here do not like "big gubment" telling them what to do) to the healthcare/SNAP/Farmer situation it's quite encouraging but memories and attention spans are short so we shall see.

1. I'm in South Bend, nice to see a fellow Hoosier here!

Braun is wildly unpopular in Indiana, which is stunning considering the partisan lean of the state. People from both sides of the aisle are pissed about his redistricting attempt.

2. Born and Raised in Michigan City...

Used to get back quite often until my mom passed back in 2020 and my dad had to be moved out of his house in 2022. I was over the moon back in 2008 when Indiana went for Obama largely on the strength of turn out in "The Region".

Before he moved dad was quite fond of calling it "Indianastan" because of the administrations of Daniels and Pence, two men he loathed with all of his heart! He was particularly pissed about the state of the roads in Northwest IN and the Toll Road issues!
