Yeah, democracy sucks when the people are ignorant, vile, and selfish.

What the people in Ohio did was realize that empathy and human rights were good. They rejected fascist culture war bullshit and I wish them the best. I hope my state could act like this.

Make no mistake, Ohio will still vote Trump +10 to +15 whether he’s in jail or not. Thankfully this state had a moment of clarity though.
