I suspect this is due to the policies of Mike Huckabee and his idiot daughter making it easier to create "Christian" private schools.

It should come as no surprise that south central Ohio voted overwhelmingly Republican in 2024 (Trump got 78% of the vote in Vinton County). Ohio has a Republican Governor (Mike DeWine) and super majorities in both houses of the State Legislature. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

💯percent. If you truly want people to vote, get involved. Volunteer to knock on doors, write postcards to voters, work on phone banks, or any other activity needed.

"Protecting women's sports" is wingnut speak for scapegoating and dehumanizing trans people. Anybody who thinks the party that worked for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade gives a shit about women is delusional.

The two biggest communist leaders in the world right now are Xi Jinping of China--who Trump praised because he, "Runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist"--and Kim Jung Un of North Korea who Trump claimed to have a "great relationship" with. It seems that communists are some of Trump's best friends
