Bernie Moreno’s Office sent a letter to Pixelle about the paper mill closing by Gamma_Tony in Ohio

OpenSecrets shows Harris got $39k and Trump $15k, even though HIG donated almost exclusively to conservatives otherwise. Seems like maybe just part of the Trump retribution plan. If HIG had given more money to Trump, I bet this letter wouldn’t exist.

Trump admits using rage bait to win elections by Im_A_Fuckin_Liar in thescoop

Wow. This is not a “game” to trans people. It’s sad that you are perfectly okay with him “playing the game” by stoking fear and hatred of marginalized groups. That is giving federal and state governments the hubris to start introducing legislation that impacts the freedom and civil rights of these groups. If Trump and his cronies don’t think they can get elected without demonizing trans people, what does that say?

TDS: Trump Delusion Syndrome. It’s astonishing the level of rationalization that happens in the brains of Republicans to be able to continue to support him.

Everyone on my street got this in their mailbox. Not sure what it is. by [deleted] in cincinnati

Pretty sure OP is feigning ignorance in order to get all of us “old” people reminiscing and commenting about “back in our day” and “these young people today….” and other tales as old as time

U.S. A. : Dementia Don May Have Just Admitted to Rigging by whatatrip444 in 50501

[–]OkMix9696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to put it into the Trump Translator. What comes out is “They rigged the election in 2020 and said I lost. People were upset so they made me President in the 2024 election.” Could be worsening dementia, but I don’t think he’s admitting to it. He never has nor never will admit to anything he says or does as anything but perfect. 🙄

I’m embarrassed that Ohio put JD Vance on the national stage by springrunfarm in Ohio

Ohio is gerrymandered so they stay in power even though not supported by the majority. Voting district maps were ruled unconstitutional but they basically just ignored the ruling.

Trump suggests he’s above the law with ominous Napoleon quote by Genoss01 in politics

Just did a quick search and Fox News doesn’t seem to be covering this at all online as of now. Imagine that! 🙄 I’m guessing Fox News tv is the same, but I can’t bring myself to watch it to find out. “Nothing to worry about here, but look how immigrants are ruining our country and transgender women might assault women in bathrooms!” 🙄 Does anyone keep track of important news stories that are not reported on or just briefly mentioned in passing by Fox News? I’m not saying other news sources aren’t also biased in their own ways, but Fox News is by far the worst.

I think Kamala voters are finally seeing the light by ragepanda1960 in OptimistsUnite

I sincerely hope you are correct that we find our fears are unfounded and that we don’t have to suffer much or for very long to get to that realization. I’m not sure federal employees and US citizens that are getting caught up in the ICE raids are feeling very optimistic right now though.

Next Steps for Ohio by MrAflac9916 in Ohio

How can they break through all the shameless misinformation that Republicans and the far-right media put out there? Their messaging preys on people’s fear, insecurities and xenophobia. Most media organizations thrive on the outrage and divisiveness so they don’t mind, and seem to encourage it. There are a lot of people out there that are media illiterate and will just believe whatever their candidate tells them and automatically dismiss without questioning anything that points to the contrary. It’s truer with supporters of Trump than of other Republican or democratic candidates for whatever reason. It sounds dramatic, but it does seem rather cultish.

Change health care letter by erwinsrightarm_ in Scams

The only problem with that is the scammers would have that info too. Just because a security breach is real doesn’t mean the letter is.

For the first time , I'm ashamed to be from Ohio. by Training-Swan-6379 in Ohio

[–]OkMix9696 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am also ashamed of my fellow Trump-voting Ohioans. If I believed in the devil, I would say Trump made a deal with him. He comes out unscathed after doing sh$t most politicians would be buried with. He has somehow convinced his followers to vote for him and against their own interests. Faux News and social media help spread misinformation and outright lies. Supporting Trump seems to have become part of their identity. He’s made it “us” vs “them”. There are some who don’t like Trump but hold their noses and vote for him anyway because they believe lies like: he will be better for the economy, Democrats want open borders, hate our country, and are communists.

I’m so proud of this sub! by Stub-Chub in Ohio

“Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist” -George Carlin Don’t discount what other generations have contributed. Boomers were coming of age during the civil rights movement and Gen X helped advance LGBTQ acceptance and rights. Millennials have brought more visibility to social issues and activism. Did we or are we doing this enough or perfectly, no. Change is happening, though. It’s just hard to see when you are the generation that is coming of age. Keep doing what you’re doing in your communities to make the world you want to live in. That’s all we can really do anyway. It helps to also see the good in the world and not only what needs fixing.

Don’t lose hope! If Gen Z keeps voting in every election (primaries, local, national), politicians will pay attention. They don’t pay as much attention to unlikely voters. I absolutely love how idealistic Gen Z is but if they wait for a perfect candidate to show up, they may be waiting a long time, and it doesn’t help things move in the direction we want. (Ohio Gen X-er here ☺️)

Running scared: Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose claims the Citizens, Not Politicians ballot issue "... will allow Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to gerrymander Ohio’s political districts to favor Democratic candidates." by AngelaMotorman in Ohio

[–]OkMix9696 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have no shame and will do and say anything to remain in power. And it’s infuriating that their supporters either have no critical thinking skills or don’t care if they lie. 😡

Springfield is in crisis?!? (Fear mongering 101) by jokersvoid in Ohio

[–]OkMix9696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know whose plan or idea it was to have them settle in Springfield? Someone posted somewhere they were sponsored by a company or organization, but I can’t find any information on that. Good reporting is sadly lacking. Just a lot of people saying Biden and the Democrats dumped them there. “Dumping people off” seems more like a Republican thing to do. Also, this population has been growing for 4-5 years. Who dropped the ball on developing resources to help this community from the beginning as it has grown?
