FreeRangeHexagon posted:Did covid really drive Ohio that much more crazy than the rest of the US? Michigan had people with guns taking over the state house because of covid. And that energy doesn't seem to have carried through to the midterms. Is this is a demographic change thing? This genuinely has flown completely under the radar for me. I might be biased with the people I'm around because I work a manual labor job, but after covid it went from boy there are sure a lot more hardcore republican guys around here than there used to be, to wow almost every single person in here is an anti-vax conspiracy guy now and I honestly just blame Joe Rogan.

Abortion, however, will remain 50 years in the past.

I work white collar in a healthy business and people here are the same as they've always been, but the folks I know who are older than their early 20s and work a less stable job are batshit and usually pretty clearly motivated by fear of the other and religion. I see a loooooot of fash and fash adjacent car decals. There's a culdesac in my neighborhood that looks like a millitia group with all the gun and pro police signs and decals.

Relevant Tangent posted:Ohio has been a deep red state since 2016. GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Ohio isn't a deep red state Getting very mixed messages here, I think a deep red state implies one where an average democrat comfortably loses to an average republican, trying to make sense of what you guys are saying it doesn't sound like Ohio has gotten that much more reactionary in the time between electing Sherrod Brown and electing JD Vance so much as the matchup there was one where the Republicans were more competent than the median Republican this cycle (not hard to do when Herschel Walker is one of their senate candidates) and the Democrats managed to succ so hard that even democrats in other states look good in comparison. There's another universe where someone more competent than Dr Oz got the nomination in Pennsylvania and goons in this thread are acting smug about how stupid people were to think that Fetterman could win because you know a bunch of chuds in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. I'm not really sure to what degree these anecdotes are useful when talking about statewide trends.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Ohio isn't a deep red state but the Democratic party here is poo poo awful and dominated by elderly people that keeps clearing the field for candidates that pretend to be Republicans over and over. Don't know why people who were inspired by Ryan campaigning on Build the Wall and I Love Cops and I Hate Asians wouldn't just go vote for the GOP candidate. It's pretty much this, even though the Landsman win is a surprise TBH, Chabot has been untouchable as long as I've lived here (officially 10 years now).

I will say I'm shocked Chabot lost. I think he said something recently about wanting to ban contraception which is extreme even for Southwest Ohio.

a_gelatinous_cube posted:Ohio's a deep red state and the Republican guy won, it's not much deeper than that. I'm honestly starting to think Chapo's pseudo-spiritual analysis of this stuff diffusing out through leftist podcast and twitter circles is seriously brain-poisoning people. Ryan ran as a Blue Chud, throwing footballs at Woke TVs in his commercials and slamming political correctness. He is a loser and it was obvious he was going to lose.

Every election is the most important yet and the drama and the tension build until everyone remembers that America sucks poo poo at counting votes.FreeRangeHexagon posted:has anyone considered that DeSantis being popular in Florida may not necessarily translate into him being popular with people who don't live in Florida Florida is like 30% of the US. Add Texas and thats like 60%. Sure you have another 30% each in Cali and NYC but then you have to add the 30% in the south and Midwest.
