There is an environmental disaster taking place in East Palestine, Ohio. The small town may never be the same. But there has been a disturbing lack of urgency from the media and, most importantly, the Biden Administration.
It's puzzling that people who claim to care so much about the environment are relatively silent in the face of an actual environmental calamity. It's led me to come to only one conclusion: Elites don't give a damn about Ohio.
I mean this in two ways: They don't care about the actual state of Ohio, and they do not care about Ohioans and people like us in culturally similar states.
This is not a new phenomenon. I live in Cleveland, Ohio, one of the most disrespected cities in the country. We're used to the arrogant and dismissive sneering from the coasts. But to see the almost gleeful way some progressives have reveled in the misfortune of the residents of East Palestine shows a moral, cultural, and political rot that is at the core of elite society.
One deplorable progressive shared a map alleging that the disaster was poisoning the water of "Yokel Central." Highlighted were the states of Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, and parts of Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Virginia. He then arrogantly added: "Gee, that's too bad. Perhaps they'll reevaluate their voting patterns. (They won't.)"
His attitude exposed what the lack of urgency is really about: All but three of the states mentioned are solidly red.

Know your enemy, folks.
What a coincidence!
Not voting for Democrats seems to be a major cause of coincidence.
#1 reason, Ohio is no longer a key swing state in Presidential elections. In 2020 Joe Biden made no effort to rig the vote in Ohio.
And as if voting for the crooked and stupid Dems ever solved anything.
Remember when election victories were said to go through the heart of Ohio….back when elections were determined by voter turnout?
Coincidence that since elections no longer matter, neither do the voters. And by extension, neither do citizens in general matter to this present government.
No soldiers, no Biden coming,
We’re finally on our own;
This winter, I smell dioxin,
East Palestine, O-hi-o....
Gotta get down to it:
Norfolk is cutting us down,
Pipelines were cut long ago;
Whadda you do when you
Find birds dead on the ground,
Where do you run when you know...
“Elites don’t give a damn about Ohio.”
I think its a little worse than that, high-speed.
Yep and Mitch McConnell voiced that very thing to foreigners on his tour to appease Ukraine.
Imagine, if you will, had the exact same accident occurred in a ‘community of color’ (in Ohio or anywhere else).
Our government has their preferences. /sarc.
This cancer has affected BOTH parties and much like when they keep their medical records secret, this cancer is kept Top SECRET. Like cancer, there is no cure other than cutting out the malignancy. That procedure is what Nikky Haley calls for: Term Limits!
You show great talent!
When is open season on elites?

Yup
“ And as if voting for the crooked and stupid Dems ever solved anything.”
What has voting for Republicans solved?
Very good!
at some point you have to say ...oh you are evil .you rub their face in their stink and talk about how not children having themselves they DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THEIR NEXT PERVERSION.
The Obama administration tipped Ohio into the RELIABLY RED column with its’ ill-conceived War on Coal.
So they have only themselves to blame.
