What makes you think he stands for nothing but money?

I’m sorry, what nuance am I missing in threads like these?
It’s crazy how quickly the Fox team was able to publicly identify where the Republicans went wrong this midterm cycle, and what the repercussions are likely to be, while left-leaning news outlets (and establishment Democrats) are still arguing over Israel and trans rights. I’m so very glad we elected more, bluer Democrats, but we’ve still got work to do to hold these people to their promises.
Tell that to the commenters on this post suggesting she start an onlyfans
There’s a huge difference between not “going high” vs. being misogynistic and bigoted
You can say cum on the Internet dude
I never said that.
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?
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.
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.)
There are MAGA cult members in every state. And the rural areas are red, just like every other state with rural areas. I don’t think it’s fair to call it a very, very red state for the past 20 years though. Sherrod Brown has been one of our senators for nearly that whole time. We voted to enshrine women’s reproductive rights in our Constitution in that time. We voted to legalize marijuana in that time. If you just look at presidential elections, then yeah I guess you could reach that conclusion, but you’d be ignoring a ton of other really important data points to get there.
It’s also not fair to call it red now. We have a Democrat governor, 5 of the 8 Congress seats this cycle were won by Democrats, and a Republican Senate seat was taken back by a Democrat. At most you could call the state purple, but it’s leaning more blue than red.
Anyways, yeah I was using hyperbole when I said people treat it like a war torn hellhole. To put it more accurately, people treat Ohio like it’s some backwards red state full of rednecks when that truly just is not the case. It’s just like any other state where the rural areas are red and the cities are blue. Telling people “thoughts and prayers, I hope you’re able to escape” is ignorant of reality, and wholly unhelpful.
There are much worse places than Ohio, and it’s getting better. The constant hate and concern trolling is just so annoying at this point because it shows people have no idea what it’s actually like here.
Ohio is just like every other state. The cities are blue, the rural areas are red. The main difference is that both the rural and urban areas hold roughly equal political weight. Unfortunately the rural areas have been able to turn out more voters than the cities the past few elections. This one, the cities were able to turn out more. Obviously we hope that continues and things continue to improve here, but the hyperbole of treating Ohio like it’s some war-torn hellhole isn’t helpful.
She’s in her 40s, she graduated in like 2007. ChatGPT wasn’t even a twinkle in Sam Altman’s eye then
The Newsmax desk, apparently
They don’t have to go to the trouble, there’s traitors here at home that will be more than willing to meddle
Huh. I want to make something very clear: I’m not trying to tone police - please, by all means, paint whatever you want on your own property. Free speech and all that.
However, if I saw that in an area that I knew was deep red, I don’t know that my first thought would be “hell yeah, that dude’s protesting Nazism/Zionism” 😬
So you painted swastikas all over your own property in a deep red area… in protest?
Who’s building is that?
Nobody is saying trans people are unsafe or untrustworthy or even “less” than.
Yes they are, or else trans inclusion in sports would be treated as the common-sense no-brainer that it is, instead of openly opposed. And how is this reasoning a stretch? It’s literally a bigot dog whistle, the exact same type of discriminatory “reasoning” that was used to justify segregation. It’s not even consistent with his whole “God loves all people, including queer and trans people, equally” schtick, because if that were true, they’d be treated equally. And until all of us are equal, none of us are equal.
His stance on trans people in sports for one. He says he opposes trans people in sports if it affects the “safety or fairness” of the sport. It’s the exact same line white racists used to justify segregation in sports. It implies trans people are inherently unsafe, untrustworthy, or otherwise “less” than non-trans people, ie, treating them as second-class citizens.
Eh, Jesus is better than the old testament God, but even he still does some pretty shitty stuff in the new testament. That’s the thing about Christianity (and most organized religions) though, it doesn’t have to make sense or be consistent or even moral or ethical. It’s propaganda, a tool for controlling the masses, not actual philosophical doctrine.
“feels different”? When talking about real actual day-to-day life, he talks about trans people like they’re second class citizens.
No, not really. This vote was scheduled a couple days in advance, so everyone had time to figure out how to get there on time. One of the Democrats that missed the vote blamed a traffic jam, but a reporter saw him on the capital steps several minutes before the deadline. He could have easily just walked inside and cast his vote before the deadline, but just… didn’t.
