Nah I dont follow politics, wouldnt auprize me if they fucked that up too though lol. Anyone who grew up on the Pa side of the OH border general has a distaste for that state. Only upside to be found is cheap gasoline!

It was more Trumpy than Texas in 2020, so that's really all you need to know about how it has gone politically in the last 10 years.

I don’t know if this is the hill to die on living in PA lol… I’ve seen a higher concentration of trump signs living here for 3 months than I did living 21 years in Youngstown

Don't be a troll. You know perfectly well Biden won in PA by 1% when Trump won in Ohio by 8%. So that means Pennsylvania is 9 points to the left of Ohio, because math is still a thing that matters.

Funny you bring up Youngstown too considering it is in one of the few counties in the country that went from voting for Clinton to Trump.

I’m not being a “troll” lol, I didn’t say anything about percents, or the election, literally just about trump signs. You commented on the “trumpiness” of the state, which is all I was commenting on and which is true, but PA is literally just as bad. Still a silly hill to die on when I see 10+ a day. Youngstown is not a county either, so I’m not sure where you were going with that one. Have a good day buddy :)

Buddy, I’m not a troll because I think it’s foolish that you’re fighting about how your state isn’t “trumpy”. I’m sorry I misread, but being a grown man attacking people on Reddit for being “illiterate” doesn’t help your case. Just because you choose to ignore the trump signs and flags everywhere doesn’t mean they don’t exist. If you wanna fight for how liberal your state is go move to California or something? You’re literally acting like a child going “but Pa is less trumpy then Ohio😡😡😡” Like okay…. That doesn’t mean the majority still aren’t republican

Lol sorry I used facts and they showed you were wrong. I never said PAV isn't Trumpy in parts, just that it's nowhere as red as Ohio, and that's a fact. Ohio is a red state at this point, and Pennsylvania is still a purple state.

You didn’t show me I was “wrong” considering all I was pointing out was that Pennsylvania is in fact “trumpy” like you were calling other states. This isn’t a pissing contest, and once again I don’t know how a grown man is typing these replies and not feeling like a condescending loser. If you wanna fight about facts so bad, why did the department of state report that there is 4 democrats registering as republican for every republican switching to democrat. The highest conversion rate in a decade❤️ I genuinely don’t know why you keep comparing Ohio and Pennsylvania when just because it is less so than Ohio, that doesn’t mean PA isn’t what you so intelligently call “trumpy”. And if by “in parts” you mean the few liberal cities the state has, that doesn’t really count sir.

I thought you were done replying to me two posts ago lol. Like I really give a fuck what would think of me anyway... And yeah, I kind of did show you were wrong considering states with a 9 point separation in how they vote in a presidential election aren't really that similar.

Friendly reminder also once again that half of Pennsylvanians live in blue Allegheny County or SPEA, not in whatever you're surrounded by in the backwoods.

I mean, considering I live on the SouthSide I don’t think that’s backwoods, your argument really isn’t holding up here. And I didn’t ask you to care what I thought about you bud, just said you’re acting embarrassingly. Funny how you wanna talk about previous stats and ignore the current ones I brought up. You live in a blue collar state, just because you don’t leave the city doesn’t mean it isn’t “trumpy”. Literally that’s the only point I was talking about and you got so defensive because it’s true. If I can drive 10 minutes from my apartment either way and see 6+ trump signs and flags in that time, your state is in fact trumpy. I never said the states were similar. Literally just that pa is also “trumpy.” You don’t get liberal savior points for acting like that’s not the case

I'm regularly in Mt Washington, the Southside, and Carrick, so I'm calling bs that you supposedly see all of these Trump signs within 10 minutes of your apartment. Your supposed signing sightings are nothing but antidotal evidence, not real data. Donald Trump lost Allegheny County by 20 points, so there is little that is Republican about this county.

No self respecting Pittsburgher should ever go to Ohio…unless it’s to watch the Steelers beat the Browns.
