I can kind of hike. Slower than usual, but I can now do it.
Like many times, we had to go out of the county to get to it and it wasn't really accessible through anything but country roads and such. It took us through different communities, but we knew it was going to end up in what is GOP territory.
As we live in a very liberal area - and we don't get out much - I can honestly say until yesterday, I had never seen a yard sign for Vivek Ramaswamy.
Sorry - Vivek Ramaswamy.
Oh yes, none of the signs had his last name. None.
It was on purpose two-fold.
A. It's a lot more real estate and ink to as that many more letters. Cost shouldn't be prohibitive though as Musk has given at last $5,000.000 to Ramaswamy's campaign. As have like every owner of Cleveland major league sports teams.
B. Putting the last name kind of reminds racist Ohio voters that Ramaswamy isn't a WASP. ....and that they'd be voting for someone who wasn't christian or white.
I'm going with B as the reason his last name - Ramaswamy (see, I'm just putting it out here to keep letting people know he, or someone he knows, probably had something to do with 9/11) *.
On the plus side of this trip: remember, we are in GOP country. But half the signs were for Ramaswamy. The other half for Acton - the democrat for governor and Sherrod Brown for senate.
BTW, never saw one Hustead sign.
Oh - and the Brown or Acton signs were HUGE.
To see blue in this area was - dare I say - hopeful.
I'm not chicken counting though.
*I know it's not true but these are the same voters who are xenophobic and say shit like that all the time. Now they're voting for a guy they probably would spit on and tell him to go back to his country any other time.
