17. I live in Ohio ...right now I am getting a house ready to sell in Austintown...the kids

Tue Apr 20, 2021, 08:16 AM

Apr 2021

lived there in college. My youngest has transferred to Cleveland and my husband has a new job there. We lived in Cleveland before he had a job in Mahoning but that didn't work out so back to Cleveland for us. I like all of Ohio but Cleveland's theater is one of the best in the country and the museums which are mostly free are amazing and of course there is Lake Erie. It is a good place to live. We have a house there. In both Mahoning (Austintown) and Cleveland area, there are tons of Black lives matter signs and other supportive signs human rights oriented signs mixed in with a few Trump signs.

Ohio still has a significant number of Democrats but we also have a gerrymander...one of the worst anywhere and we have a very weak Democratic Party. Ohio went for Bush twice and Obama twice. It is still a swing state. And let me say it is a very affordable state to live in with good housing at decent prices and housing is increasing in value. I am likely to get triple what a I paid for this house three years ago...we needed to go to Cleveland for a job and the kids were at YSU. So I live Ohio and it is worth fighting for. Speaking of YSU it is a great value for kids. And the business program is one of the best in the country.

Trump promised to deliver jobs to this area which was hard hit because of lost manufacturing...he lied. But Democrats had been saying ' the jobs are not coming back'. Well, people need jobs and IMHO this is why Trump won Ohio twice. And now Ford Avon is closing- bad news for Ohio. People still hoped Trump's steel policy and other economic policies which actually hurt the state might pan out eventually. They are wrong. Democrats need to send jobs to this area...hopefully green jobs because the path to the presidency goes through the Mid West...and Ohio is not much different than Pennsylvania when you come down to it or Wisconsin and Michigan. We ignore this region at our own electoral peril.
