      I mean, all of America started as one, on account of the indigenous genocide.

      But credit where credit is due, Ohio has a very deep rooted history with Abolitionism, and a lot of German radicals who left Europe after the failed revolutions of 1848, settled in southern Ohio and became Union Soldiers and generals, built up civil society organizations to support runaway slaves, etc.

      Learn your history, and don’t let these freaks have it.

    I know a Nazi douchebag from Ohio.

    He tried to recruit me, then shame me, then gave up.

    The best defense is to ignore their probes, and kill them with kindness. They’ll give up, eventually. But then, you’ll still have to tolerate their bullshit if they attend the same social situations. Don’t take the bait if they try to provoke you to violence. Even if you win, they’re so vindictive and amoral they’ll use that as an opportunity to harm you, via arrest, and lawsuits.
