In reply to the discussion: A 'progressive' state: Gov. Mike DeWine wants $50M to encourage people to move to Ohio [View all]Botany
(76,797 posts)14. A long time ago a very conservative Republican, Jim Rhodes, had a project to have a college or tech
school with in 50 miles from everybody in the state and supported the right of unions and
Ohio was the envy of the nation but now it is North Alabama and the dumb fuck factor here
is overwhelming. Christ, late last winter we had a great woman running the state's response to
C-19 Amy Acton however she had to quit after coming home night after night to find the beard
and beer gut gun toting assholes brigade in her backyard because mask wearing and science
was "deep state big government plot." Gov. Dewine did not stand up, protect her and her family,
and nor did he point out that these Q fighters were getting fed information via Vlad Putin.
BTW after my mom passes I'm out of her.

LOL. I think Mike DeWine's ads should riff off of the old "Mikey likes it" ad.

Sadly, I think that many states have similar situations, depending on the urban/rural divide
