Ohio Republicans attacking voters seem to believe citizens are stupid, ignorant, and over-emotional.
You should know how little Ohio Statehouse politicians think of you, the constituents they were ostensibly elected to represent in Columbus. Hate to break it to you, but the pols running the legislature dismiss you as stupid, confused, and prone to emotion.
We simpleminded citizens are incompetent to govern ourselves. We can’t be trusted to understand the issues or act in our best interests or have the freedom to check the power of our state government. We don’t know what we want. Too ignorant.
A majority of us might get carried away with our inherent democratic right to change or create our own laws through ballot initiatives most Ohioans support. Our unchecked lawmakers in the General Assembly can’t let that happen. They can’t allow unworthy peasants to circumvent their authoritarian agenda of denying abortion access, fair voting districts, commonsense gun reform, etc.
“We don’t want a temporary emotion of a majority to change or take away folks rights,” snorted Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman. “That happens all the time — it’s called the tyranny of the majority.”
The breathtaking arrogance of the Lima Republican ruling the state with an iron-fist never ceases to amaze.
