Never really understood why Indiana and Ohio hitched their wagons to the south.

Because they were racists?

For some reason people think this stuff is some mystery. They just hate black people and then realized they can take other people's money by convincing them to also hate black people. So the pyramid scheme spreads.
There's not more to this stuff.

Well, yes. But you’d think there are enough large cities in those states to keep them purple at least. But, no, they’re hard into the fascism.

Their large cities are on the smaller end of the city spectrum and both states have lots of small town populations rather than mostly empty spaces, so it makes sense. Its different than having a situation more like Illinois with a huge city

Cincinnati is "large". Cincinnati is also pretty damn conservative.

It's not so much the south that's the crux there - it's any large rural area where you'll generally find that attitude. Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana have a lot of farm land. And oddly enough, there's a percentage of the population that speaks with southern accents... Despite having never left their home town. For generations

I see a lot of it in rural Illinois as well.

That's because Illinois is basically Chicago and then everyone else wants to be Indiana
