He thinks he has nothing to lose by demonizing people who can't vote. But lots of folks who can vote care about those people and stand in solidarity with them.

If Trump is allowed to carry out his deportation plans, he'll deport American citizens ("by accident"), I guarantee it.

Not even by accident.

Hes recently talked about deporting people who oppose him or who support "antifa" etc (its fair to imagine him trying to deport anyone he damn well pleases, or at least attempting it.)

Anyone who doesn't believe project 2025 is a thing obviously doesn't remember all the illegal unconstitutional stuff he tried over and over. (Only with project 2025 he'll install enoygh loyalists to carry the evil stuff out.)

Ohio is such a weird state. It is notorious for being an unpleasant place to live and I have met dozens of Ohioans who are very pleased to live anywhere else. That being said I disproportionatly have enjoyed the company of the Ohio refugees I've met. It has a way of exporting some cool people

Wouldn't that be the case with most people who've moved to a new area? Like, presumably unless they're there for work, school, or family or a spouse they moved because they wanted to get out of wherever they were. I'd imagine that if you go to Ohio and ask people how they like it, you'd probably find more people who are happy living there.

Yup, I always tell people I'm biased about WI because I left. I'm sure OH has a lot of similar reasons.

For some reason most of my partners have ended up being Cincinnati refugees. So I think I can second this. "it's a good place to be from" is a common refrain.

as a Colorado native I've disliked most every other person I've met from the state elsewhere, no particular reason outside luck of the draw I think
