(40,715 posts)I'm right across the state line from you in NE Ohio.
I fear that there is no hope for brainwashed Trump cultists like you mentioned. They will piss and moan about the economy, but the real reason they support Trump is because he is a racist and bigot like they are.
I don't know what else to say except keep speaking up, I try to do so as well, I doubt we'll change any minds, but like you said, we have to at least make it known that there are progressives around here who hunger for sanity and integrity in government.
I felt as though in the last election, the Democrats ignored our area of NE Ohio-Western PA. No visits, no mailers, very few TV ads. So, of course, the GOP propaganda took over here. Trump came to Youngstown and made his famous bullshit speech on "don't sell your home, I'm bringing manufacturing back." I got one of those big mailer cards in my mailbox almost every day with Trump garbage on it, never anything from the Dems. Lots of GOP TV ads on the local airwaves, and very few for Hillary. I hope that will change. I have written to my state Dems pointing this out. I hope they listen to us, my friend.
