Cows eating hamburgers.
Stupid cows.
This is your brain on meth.
I once flew to Huntington, West Virginia to go into that part of the state of Ohio to drill a few oil wells. I was in a restaurant and the waitress was all excited because Okrah was there doing an expose on American poverty.
Poor life decisions. That’s why the county is poor, and blue.
Profound ignorance, poverty and voting democrat go hand in hand.
Pretty much the definition of “stuck on stupid”.
Dumchits.
When your two largest employers are the county government and a university, it’s no surprise that the place is a leftist dump.
Ty Halley, an in-home healthcare provider who grew up in Athens, voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. “I voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and I’d probably vote for him again,” Halley, 35, said. “I think the Democrats could help their applause point better by doing something about the things they say they support—raising [the] minimum wage, improving the environment, canceling student debt …I cannot imagine all those values are shared by the majority of people there. Maybe because they still only have three tv channels? Either way, it's mal-informed voters.
“I like the social issues,” Halley added. “I’m pro-gay marriage, support raising the minimum wage, and think transgender kids need more protection. I’m pro-choice when it comes to abortion and believe labor unions are important.”
You can’t fix stupid!
this is a great example what kinds of people that indoctrination in our public schools produce. Hold out your hand and some democrat and RINO politician will fill it and people who support democrats and RINOs care not where their freebies come from.
Idle thoughts…
19th Amendment - really? Raise voting age to 28. Only real property owners and/or military vets allowed to vote. Written, driving, and civics tests to get driver license. English-only ballots. If you don’t pay federal taxes, you cannot vote in federal elections. Same for state tax payers.
(half kidding on the 19th)
Sounds like these people could have benefitted from an accidental exposure to a broadcast from Rush while he was alive.
Not from there but I went to college there. The only voting residents are college profs and the generationally poor who choose to stay for whatever reason. There was also a 60s leftover hippie population there when I was in school. Makes for a strange voting base.
The locals not affiliated with the University are the minority.
That’s why they are Ohio’s poorest county and will remain that way. Dumb asses.
I’ll say. They haven’t caught on yet that the Democrats are no longer the party of the working man. They haven’t been for quite some time. They are the party of globalist bi-coastal elites (and wannabes) and some minority grievance groups.
As for the working class and the middle class.....the Democrats HATE them - most especially if they’re White.
Read the article. Ohio University (not OSU which is in Columbus) is by far the largest employer in Athens. And it’s a big party school and one of the most liberal schools around, so I’m sure that’s the reason. Most normal folk in Athens County are rational conservatives.
This HAS to be Portsmouth Ohio..... A WELFARE PIT!!!
Poor doesn’t make you stupid, but apparently stupid makes you poor
