    Ok, let’s look at this for a second.

    Ohio is a red state. WHOMEVER runs as a republican is going to win. Jesus could run as a democrat, and he’d still not get the vote from people who believe in the bible, because they’re all republican.

    Now you have a doctor, who exited the national spotlight 4 years ago, when she got death threats to her family, and left things up to trump and his people…trump is not a politician, which is one of many of my problems with him. Dr Amy is very respectable as a doctor and medicine expert. She is also not a politician. I’ve never even heard of this Ramaswamy guy, but hearing where he comes from I’m going to assume he’s one of the biggest dumbfucks who ever dumbfucked his way into being a dumbfuck.

    So at this point, we’re fucked no matter what. Dr Amy isn’t going to win, because it’s Ohio. Ramaswamy is going to fuck our state even harder. And all the while Ohio will cement itself as being the southern state of the north. As we all apply for Canadian citizenship to escape this sinking ship of a country.

    Oh, well see the good news is, they don’t care and will face exactly zero consequences for their actions. Why? Because in the popular vote, America overwhelmingly said that this is what they want. They chose this.

    I choose to blame America as a whole for the next 4 years. Sure it’s easy to blame Vance, and Trump…but here’s the thing. If Trump ran his campaign, and America said “Ew, no!” And then Trump forced his way in? Yeah, ok. That I would then blame Trump. But he ran his campaign.

    In my eyes he ran it poorly. He got onstage and spread obviously blatent fearmongering. He downright admitted he had no plan. Only elements of a plan. He openly said that if he wins, there’s no need to ever vote again. He openly said that he plans to put down any “enemy from within” using the military if need be. He openly and proudly claimed his campaign will deport mass amounts of immigrants.

    For anyone paying attention to history, this is NOT a new playbook. This is straight up the facist playbook.

    I was NOT a fan of Bush from 2000-2004. I openly said (at the time) that he was the worst president our country would see in my lifetime. I never called him a facist however. He never fit the bill for being fascist. He was corrupt, and a liar, and a warmonger, and evil…but not a fascist.

    Trump is absolutely a fascist. He wasn’t a warmonger in his first term, but I suspect he will be in his second. This time he has the full support of the government. He can do whatever he wants, and his campaign was basically alluding to that fact.

    And America said yes. THAT’S the take away here. America could have said “Fuck no. This is no land of fascists.”

    They chose not to.
