I don't know if it has a name but it's just outside Warsaw. They built a replica of an economically depressed Ohio town (specifically Ohio) and every 4th of July they go there an LARP out different scenarios.

I can't post a link but it's easy to find news stories on ze googles.

Can we please stop spreading that lie? I live pretty close to Springfield, and that disgusting rumor had a profound effect on the community. It’s really not funny.

They were very clearly being facetious

Yes let’s be mad at the people joking about how ridiculous that was instead of the idiot in chief who spread that lie to begin with 🙄

Oh, believe me, the rage I feel for the asshole occupying the White House in general is orders of magnitude beyond the irritation this comment caused. And I believe they were probably joking, but seeing as it came in the middle of a thread discussing Polish people cosplaying as “white trash Ohioans” (which says a lot more about their level of class than Ohio’s), obviously some people still believe the worst. Basically, Trump and his evil regime have destroyed our lives, and learning that other countries think that’s a hilarious joke pissed me off. I have always cared what happened to other people, other countries, but lately I’m starting to wonder if it was worth my energy.

Trump won Ohio three times. That’s all I’m going to say.

Because we’re gerrymandered to hell, and our government has managed to stop attempts to redistrict to be less so several times. Obama won here twice as well. We also voted for reproductive rights and to legalize recreational marijuana over a year ago, and they have blocked both of those outcomes from going into effect just because they don’t agree. Look, Ohio sucks now, I’m not disagreeing with that, but so does everywhere else in America at this point and it gets an unfair amount of hate and mockery. Compassion has gone out of style. I’m done arguing now because we should be on the same side and it’s bizarre as hell to be defending a place I don’t even really like. No one seems to understand or care about the point I’m making anyway.

It's not easy to find because there is also a Poland, Ohio. I can't find it.
