This is true. I live in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio and work and have numerous friends in Middletown, Ohio, home of JD Vance.

In 2008, Ds blitzed Dayton-I worked at a polling place in West Dayton, and actually met “independent election observers” from the Bay Area-they were looking for evidence of GOP skullduggery against Obama. They didn’t find any, mainly b//c Ohio’s ID standards for voting are basically anything north of a Chuck E Cheese rewards card.

This year-nothing-they-the national media-weren’t poking around Middletown, and, surprise, nobody cared. People thought it was cool Vance was from Middletown, but didn’t act in a mob frenzy or whatever woke-coastal idiots suspected would happen. People around Middletown see enough fentanyl, and interact on a normal, everyday basis with Hispanics from all over, to steer away from bizarro grad school bs cultural assumptions. The election here was like everywhere else-people were sick of the commercials, thought Brandon and Kamala were in lala land, and the individuals who always voted D, voted for Harris.
