    DeWine is one of the few Republicans I’ve managed to retain any respect for. Not much, mind you. But a little bit.

      It’s hard to think of Republicans as anything other than racist, sexist, ____ist, christofascists cuz that’s the norm nowadays, but I recall a time when they were just stupid, not evil. Like, the bigwigs were still evil, but even they usually wrapped their bullshit in some plausible deniability. Today they skip all that and just jump straight to completely unabated evil.

        Yep. I’d like to say that those days were when I was one, but knowing the young and unobservant version of me, that transition probably would’ve escaped me for a while.

      He does a good thing about once per year. He’s been pretty shitty otherwise. Mainly approving all the recent gerrymandering.

        Well, I guess I’m glad that he isn’t wasting his annual good thing for 2025.
