> Every state that is not deep blue is not Alaska levels of red

Maybe not the state, but the Republican leadership is. There are vanishingly few moderate Republicans left in any office in the country.



Mike DeWine in Ohio is fairly reasonable and was among those whose lips were not attached to Trump's behind, but now the Republican base in rural Ohio is angry at him about that.


Yea, the Ohio Republican Party has rewarded DeWine's reasonable approach to the pandemic by his party threatening to impeach him (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/republican-ohio-gov-dew...) strip him of his executive power (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/ohio-republicans-...) and their leader, trump, has called for him to be challenged in a primary (https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/11/16/trump...).

His great crime was that he listened to a medical doctor, implemented pretty reasonable common-sense strategies, and for a while did a pretty good job keeping Ohio's pandemic rates low.
