My city is obviously chock-full of Trump voters. [View all]

Trump won by less than 1% in my county in 2016.

Since the votes are tallied by counties in Ohio, I never knew how my particular city voted. I saw far more Trump yard signs, but hoped those people were just more open than Clinton voters about their support.

I tried to find vote results here, and I could only find the tallies for a mock election at the middle school. Clinton only won 35% of the votes there!

That's at a middle school, where I suspect many girls probably voted for Clinton even if their parents supported Trump!

Then I looked up similar mock elections at schools across the country, and Clinton did much better than Trump overall. She'd easily be the President based on the mock elections of children!

I bet this shit-hole is about 80% Trump supporters!

Drove around yesterday to do some errands, and saw NOBODY else wearing a mask in public! ZERO!

Edit:
The demographics in this city closely match the average for all of Ohio, by the way.
The police here have been fascists for as long as I've been here too. It's like they're all trained to be that way. (It has a reputation for it. I've told coworkers where I lived, and it was not uncommon for them to reply how the cops are all "major dicks" here. The first comments out of their mouths!)
