The whole damn area went blue.
My township is 70 percent Democratic.

(14,853 posts)The state itself seemed to be creeping toward the red, though.
Edit: I'd probably just move to nearby Yellow Springs OH (home of Dave Chappelle) if the immediate community was my only concern.

(41,831 posts)its expensive to live here. My Starting Rent was 1300 for a studio. Now its over $2,000, and we haven't even discussed the price of food in this state. Safeway is not that cheap, but the farmer's markets are great ...except for now..
None of them are open for business.

It could all have been, well not prevented, but mitigated to a great degree. With real leadership.

(8,764 posts)The hard to believe insults by the Trump and GOP compound daily.
After Barr's most recent comments, I find it hard to believe that there will be a fair election and, even if the election is won, transition may be in question.
Not only is the pandemic mismanaged but CV19 is being used a cover to grift and seize more power.
Best I could come up with is mass demonstrations in automobiles (social distancing and also personal protection) shutting down the country in a demand that Trump, Barr, McConnel, et al resign.
Given CV19, the Fall 2020 election should be dependent on vote by mail.
Trump installing a crony as Post Master General in recent days puts that election very much at risk.
I do not think I am being overly dramatic nor paranoid.
I am less than confident we are up to what needs to be done as a society.
It looks to be only a matter of time until shooting at liberals becomes common.

(8,809 posts)Many of us have spent the last four decades wondering what can be done.........
I think there are a whole big bunch of people who are JUST NOW starting to think about all the things you mentioned......
HELLO AMERICA,......The RepubliCON, Corporate Fascist Tyranny is one millimeter away from being installed.......Forget about the election, it is 6 very long months away. And IF there is an election, and the Dem wins it, it will be overruled, and deemed corrupted by the Democrats. Then Trump, the RepubliCONs, Barr, and the RepubliCON US Supreme Court will appoint Trump the victor............
When the dust settles, there will be a small group in the upper one percent, and the rest of us will all be crowded into the bottom one percent........
You certainly are not being over dramatic or paranoid.........you are just being pragmatic and realistic........
