Yeah, but there’s also a bunch of pretty cool people too. Seriously, come to Ohio and see for yourself. Pop an edible and wander around the Cleveland art museum for a few hours, go for a bar crawl in Athens, see the big basket. Columbus is one of the most LGBTQ friendly cities in the country, and has large east and west African populations. The people in between are polite and friendly enough on a Saturday afternoon, even if they’re fascists when you turn away.
I won’t pretend it’s not run by a fascist party, it’s a fact that deeply saddens me. I’m currently saving money to move out, but I’m going to miss this place for the rest of my life.
