MASON, A SUBURB about 20 miles north of Cincinnati, does not feel like a place where the apocalypse is coming soon. It is a pleasant if sprawling district of detached houses, big-box stores and seemingly endless, perfect landscaping. Its extensive car parks are full of expensive cars and trucks. After voting at a polling station in a bucolic-looking wedding venue, however, David Myer, a 63-year-old retired health-care worker, says that he sees a much darker future ahead.
Mr Myer did not vote for J.D. Vance, the author and venture capitalist who won the Republican primary election for the United States Senate on May 3rd. He instead went for Mike Gibbons, a self-funded candidate, who got 12% of the vote. But his talking points about the impending destruction of Ohio could have come straight out of one of Mr Vance’s speeches.
Mr Vance’s triumph was undoubtedly helped by the endorsement of Donald Trump. The former president gave his blessing on April 15th, tipping him into the lead. But at his victory speech in Cincinnati, Mr Vance only briefly mentioned Mr Trump, along with a series of other Republicans who had turned up to help his campaign, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon conspiracy-theorist congresswoman from Georgia.
Exactly why this sort of rhetoric is so persuasive among Ohio’s Republican voters is unclear. It is true thatis a catastrophic problem in the state. But illegal immigration is not. According to Census Bureau estimates, less than 5% of the population of the state are foreign-born, one of the lowest rates in the country. Less than 1% do not have legal residence. The unemployment rate in the state is also almost the lowest it has been in 20 years.
What did not stop Mr Vance’s victory was his previous incarnation, as a darling of liberal publications like the

Democrats' chances look better by the day as GOP inflicts the primary death of 1000 Trumps on itself. One definition of insanity is doing same thing & expecting different result. 2020 didn't teach RNC/GOP a thing, so much easier to hide behind convenient lies & blame others.
Trump couldn't even remember JDVance's name while campaign stumping. However, Trumpism, autocracy, and kleptocracy supported Vance in the midterm. The QAnon faithful pushed him over the top. Yet, he's such a fringe candidate he'll have a hard time in the Midterms2022.
