A SERIOUS QUESTION about Jim Jordan and Ohio voters

I'm not "bashing" Ohio voters. I generally don't bash anyone / anything I don't understand, and what I don't understand about Jim Jordan is "why?"

NEXT YEAR, it will be TWO DECADES since he was elected to the House, in the 2006 Midterms.

He has NO "signature legislation." I see no evidence that he's had a direct hand in ANYTHING that would benefit Ohio, or the rest of the country.

I see two decades of Fox "News" performance art. He's always in some "committee" or "hearing," and the accusations are always baseless, but...in Trump's case...ol' rapin' Grampy gets to watch some mighty fine MAGAt TV.

It may be nothing more complex than "Ohio voters vote a straight red ticket."

Do Ohio voters actually think he has accomplished anything for them, other than "hearings" to grill Democrats who are targeted by Republicans?

Sad but true reason. Ohio is a gerrymandered mess with the will of the voters being thwarted by the gop stranglehold.

3. Jordon got 68.5% of vote in 2024. Apparently, voters like him. Can't explain it without putting blame on voters.

Jordan is nothing more than a tumor as example of the cancer on America that is the
right wing/fossil fuel industries/Christo fascist/billionaire/racist/sexist/Russian disinformation
network.

Btw Ohio has lots of right wing idiots. They believe that Joe Biden was a communist who was
getting money from China.

Notice how carefully it avoids contact with any liberal, suburban area. This is rural heartland, deep red Magat territory.
