      People talk about hard work all the time in places like Middletown. You can walk through a town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.

      According to him, rural people can’t find work because they’re lazy.

      Oh, he also talks about punching his stepdad who “wasn’t a violent man”. I expect it’s just political grandstanding to show he was a tough kid.

        Like he’s right that Middletown is a shithole. But it’s a location devastated by collapse of the rust belt. It’s basically a suburb of a suburb of fucking dayton. The people of Middletown aren’t lazy, they’re desperate and they’re tired.

        I don’t know how he managed to become a senator here, he clearly fucking hates Ohioans.
