One red flag for Republicans was the recent race for governor, which saw Kentucky’s pro-Trump governor Matt Bevin ultimately lose to Democrat Andy Beshear. Bevin’s style, according to critics, mirrored Trump’s — a style that “rankled” many Fort Thomas residents................................

You might think that is ridiculous, too, but I still hear that shit. (It's only about 80% Reds where I live).

and locking them in cages, or pardoning war criminals, or advising the Saudis on how to get away with sawing up a journalist, or setting up a slaughter of the Kurds to cover handing our bases over to the Russians, or packing our courts with unqualified people, or increasing pollution levels --- well, that's just the Anti-Christ being the Anti-Christ! But does he really need sound so unpleasant while he does all this?"

When I lived there years ago, it was a major rethug stronghold. If that's changing, maybe the rest of Ohio is evolving as well.
