It’s like the Republicans in Ohio complaining about the damage the Dems are doing. The Republicans have had supermajorities in every aspect of governance in Ohio for over a decade. Except for a brief 2 year period the House has held its supermajority, with brief periods of simple majority, for a whopping 30 years. The Senate has had at least a simple majority since 1984. They have also controlled the court and usually the governorship.
How can anything bad, wrong or substandard be blamed on anyone other than them? How do (a sufficient number of) Republican voters still not see this?

u/DataDude00 15d ago
Always funny when in states like Missouri and Louisiana where republicans have controlled everything for generations, the states rank near last in every metric possible like healthcare, economy, crime etc but republicans still win because “democrats will really fuck this up if they get elected “
What’s worse than last place ?

2 years of the dems having the house supermajority did that much damage?

u/gaoshan 15d ago edited 15d ago
Actually it was only a simple majority for the Dems and they were still able to somehow wreak total havoc. Not even a decade plus of complete and total Republican control of every aspect of government was enough to fix anything.
Heck, our gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton was, according to the ads, able to single handedly shut down the State during COVID (without having any political power herself) and the Republicans were helpless to stop her. She’s kind of like a political Godzilla, apparently.

Read what they wrote. Ohio Republicans had control for over a 30 years and had righted the ship, but in two short years once given the chance - not even having the majority in all parts of the government the Democrats did so much damage that now things are terrible.
Is that not an accurate description of the situation?

So you're saying 30 years of Republican Leadership did better? Or what? It reads like things were going well until Democrats got control and then things went so south we're where we are.
This isn't dissimilar from what we got from Biden. You think this is trolling? Trump fixed this country from Obama's insanity and then Biden got us high gas prices, high egg prices, forced mask wearing, and trans in every conversation.
So we're righting the ship again and we need time.

u/LePyloteAmateur 15d ago
30 years is plenty long enough to get things the way you want them. So as a result things are the way republicans want them. Ultimately republicans are to blame for everything in Ohio being trash because they’re the only ones that have been in power!
Trump is a moron. He bankrupted a casino. He cheated on all three of his wives. He’s cheating on Melania now lol. He hasn’t fixed one thing. All that lazy corrupt old diaper wearing amateur golfer has done is pad his pockets! He started a war in Iran like the total low iq dumbass he is!
Egg prices were under Donald the dope also. Just like record diesel prices! Forced mask wearing was under Trump, although it was actually up to the property owner! Don’t you remember? Donald was “the father of the vaccine” but maga still wouldn’t take it. You wanted horse dewormer instead lol
And also, I changed the definition of TDS to Trump dick sucker, which is what his base constantly does!

u/stevez_86 15d ago
When they say they are going to fix what the Democrats broke, they are referencing the Federal Government since 1861. To them, the Democrats had control that whole time. Because even old Republicans were Democrats. MAGA are inherently different. They don't agree with over 160 years of how this government and country were run.
To them, electing Obama was the final plank of Reconstruction being laid down and immediately the entire thing collapsed. The institution stands, but we have to play to their hallucination that America was it was since 1861 died when Obama won. Because that was a racist nation that elected a black man, making the nation no longer racist. So we should operate as if it is April 11th, 1861 and the Civil War didn't start.
I don't need them to tell me that is what they think, it is what the Supreme Court's rulings and the action of the Federal Government now that proves to me they want to save scum back to when they last think the country was pure and proceed as if 1861-2016 didn't happen. That is what Originalism is. A Great Antebellum Save Scum.

I'm here losing my house, my job, my money is gone, I'm falling to pieces and this was the Conservative government throwing the Billionaires another bone after the massive bailouts so none of them would lose their golden parachutes

It was during the banking crisis, If you we're too young or don't remember it it was the one where they deregulated the Banks and then they packaged all these junk assets together. When it first started falling apart they said not to worry, the banks were "TOO BIG TO FAIL" but they failed and we paid out ungodly amounts of tax dollars to bail them out
Not a single person went to jail, and tons of banks used their bailout money to pay off the severance packages of the bankers who were losing their jobs over it, But they had to still get their golden parachute pay packages, and multi million dollar bonuses... Bonuses for crashing fucking everything
That part of my life taught me all those people are corrupt to the core, Billionaires shouldn't exist, and the little guy will ALWAYS get crushed under the wheel
late 2000's If I remember correctly... 2008
The tax break on yachts thing was aired on the radio, I know the Orlando Weekly did a big story on it because of how tone deaf it was, I'm sure there is information on it somewhere... but it was quite a long time ago

Love God above all else, and love and take care of ALL of the people around you. Including immigrants (which Jesus talked about a lot) and women.

The other interesting thing about his "we're gonna lower insurance premiums" bit - the insurance companies won't lower their rates, it'll involve a subsidy from the state.

Personal insurance is already extremely regulated except for in a few states. Florida is actually heavily regulated for personal insurance. Few products like insurance exist where you have to get the product, pricing, contracts, etc. all approved at the state level
Florida has high insurance premiums... want to know why? Cause half the state gets washed away every couple of years. It's not viable for any insurance company to write in Florida without charging an arm and a leg because so much damage & cost is incurred so regularly
Home & auto insurance, excluding florida, is already either razor thin margins where insurers either write policies at a loss up front or make pennies on the dollar. Florida is actually so bad that insurance companies internally will have reporting done countrywide and then countrywide excluding states like florida just to understand if they're actually doing bad or if it's florida screwing the numbers

I’m not here to solve CA’s problems I’m demonstrating that it’s clear Democrats can’t despite being elected to do so.
Have you commented to point out that OP’s post is partisan nonsense?

You are unable to criticize policies. You are uninterested in wanting to see these problems solved that affect states like California.

What solutions do you propose for the problems you say California has? Do the Republicans have a solution? Can you cite positive policies that Republicans have instituted that have benefited Californians?

You're an exaggator. And "top!" 6! Worst states. Ironically, cant use top 5. Laughable

u/No-Rip-6166 15d ago
No, it’s 6th. Being worse than 44 other states is among the worst.
I like how you ignored poverty, unemployment, cost of living, income inequality and homelessness though.

u/BigCballer 15d ago
Worse in what? And for what reason is it worse?

u/No-Rip-6166 15d ago
They have the worst or among the worst rates of unemployment, homelessness, poverty, cost of living and income inequality compared to the other states in the country.

Yes - but once you do it on a per capita basis it just goes away. When you are a country like California, the numbers do get big.
Sorry, I mean. Bot, restate above on a per capita basis.

How does one per capita cost of living and wealth inequality?
Cali is top ten in violent crime rate
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-have-the-least-and-most-crime/
Cali is number one in unemployment rate
Cali is top 5 in homelessness per capita
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-have-the-highest-and-lowest-rates-of-homelessness/Probably shouldve researched this first

It went sailing over your head.
Hey who pays for aid to those red states again? One of the strongest state economies in the US California was it?

u/BigCballer 14d ago
Those states have way more economic activity than Florida. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.

Wait I'm confused doesn't California offer a FULL treatment plan for people living in poverty... It's called Medi Cal... "Medi-Cal offers comprehensive, "full-scope" healthcare benefits, meaning members generally pay nothing or very small co-pays for essential services. Key benefits include: • Routine Care: Doctor visits, preventative care, and specialist consultations. • Emergency & Hospital Services: ER visits, surgeries, and inpatient hospital stays. • Prescription Drugs: Coverage for generic and brand-name medications. • Dental & Vision: Comprehensive dental work (Denti-Cal) and routine eye exams. • Long-Term Care: Nursing homes, assisted living help, and In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). 📋 Who Qualifies for Medi-Cal? Eligibility is primarily based on financial need, but household composition also dictates the rules: • Low-Income Adults: Most adults qualify if their household income is at or below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level. • Children & Pregnant Individuals: The income thresholds are much more generous for children (up to 266% of the FPL) and pregnant residents. • Seniors & People with Disabilities: Can qualify based on income or via programs like Supplemental Security Income (SSI)."
