    What’s wrong with outside the cities? Just politics and general redneck stuff or something else?

      Politics, general redneck stuff, bored cops, general rust belt stuff. Also lots of racism.

      Additional thing to know, Ohio has a very self deprecating sense of humor. One of our classic jokes is that Ohio has produced more astronauts than any other state: this is proof that nothing is too much effort to get as far away from Ohio as possible.

        That makes sense. I’ve seen lots of people dunking on Ohio around, but it seems like most of the jokes aren’t really based on anything unique to Ohio. Seems like there definitely is some not-so-great stuff going on there, but the same could be said for any other state. That’s why I wanted to ask, since sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s just jokes or actually based on something.

          Yeah so there is one big unique thing. Nobody is more gerrymandered with one tie (I think it was Florida).

          For example as to how bad the government represents us we have a special election next month to change the state constitution to raise the percentage of votes (of citizens, not politicians) it takes to amend it. This is because in November our draconian anti abortion laws are up for vote to be repealed and will probably succeed if any majority wins
