    Telling people “thoughts and prayers, I hope you’re able to escape” is ignorant of reality, and wholly unhelpful.

    I never said that.

    I know about the abortion amendment. It shocked me that it passed. We also legalized marijuana and the legislature immediately proceeded to fuck with it.

    Maybe it’s not red, but a very reddish purple. Lol.

    I have lived in one of the large cities and it may be bluer than the surrounding area, but it’s still fairly conservative imo. I’m in a rural area now and am surrounded by Trumpards. Every single small business is also owned by a Trumptard. I have seen “Trump 2028” signs… I cannot be open about my political or religious beliefs.

      Jesus Christ dude I’m summarizing the sentiment expressed by other people in the thread and in general lmao. Am I not allowed to use summary as a literary device on Lemmy these days?

      This is not unique to Ohio. (I understand you personally haven’t claimed this is unique to Ohio, but the overall general sentiment about Ohio is that this is unique to Ohio, or especially bad in Ohio compared to other states. I’m merely pushing back against that sentiment, and pointing out that this attitude is a feature of basically all rural areas, and singling out Ohio on this is unhelpful. Hope this is clear.)
