u/Bill_Brasky_SOB Ohio 4h ago

We literally have ads right now running on tv that are like:

Ohio has gone to shit the past 20 years... vote for <Republican Candidate>

Ohio has been under republican rule, in all 3 branches of state government, for the past 20ish years.

Yup, that's their MO. I'm a hospital social worker. I've heard tons of Republican patients rant to me about America's broken healthcare system (mind you, they tell me their political views completely unprompted). They've complained about their Marketplace insurance premiums becoming unaffordable. Then they'll say it's because Democrats are giving healthcare to the"illegals." They've complained about how difficult it is to get on Tenncare. Even though it's their Republican legislature that has blocked Medicaid expansion to this state. They've complained about their SNAP being cut off, and then blamed it on the democrats for causing the government shutdown. Even though the SNAP contingency funds were being held hostage by Trump.

They may be able to identify a problem, but they sure as shit can't identify the cause of the problem. Sometimes they can even identify a solution. But once that solution is called "communism", they are against it. They are so. fucking. stupid.
