President Donald Trump is facing growing backlash that is affecting pro-Trump media audiences and eroding support among some of his most reliable constituencies, including non-college-educated voters and the manosphere. A new report in The New York Times suggests that the discontent is also reaching Ohio, a state long considered safely Republican, underscoring that frustration with everyday costs can surface even in places that have steadily leaned red.

“Across Ohio, a state that receded from the nation’s political battle zone as its voting patterns turned an ever deeper shade of red, signs of discontent this year are everywhere,” wrote The New York Times’ Campbell Robertson and Jessica Contrera on Sunday. “In packed public forums, residents rage about data center projects. In grocery store aisles, shoppers lament to cashiers how little they can get for $50. In the soybean and corn fields, farmers express anxiety and pessimism. The basics of life and business have gotten punishingly expensive, and many have come to doubt that relief is coming anytime soon.”

Kim Hall, 59, told The Times while shopping at a Dollar General in North Ridgeville, Ohio, that “it’s all dumpy. Businesses are closing, the roads look like crap. Grocery prices are outrageous, and I can barely afford to live.”

Former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley said the Democratic Party now has a political opening as voters express anger over the state of the economy and local conditions.

“You hate everything and you can’t be mad at the Democrats,” Whaley told The Times. “They haven’t been in control.”

She later added, “People are just so — I’ve just not seen them this pissed.”

The Times described one example of that anger in Millersport, a village outside Columbus, where a school cafeteria was filled for a hearing last week on a proposed power plant that would supply energy to a $2.1 billion data center project being built on nearby farmland. The dispute reflects how large-scale development projects can become flashpoints when residents are already focused on utility costs, land use, and whether local planning is serving them.

“The residents in the cafeteria were virtually unanimous in opposition: A Democratic statehouse candidate wearing a Pride pin railed against the process, her criticisms later echoed by an Air Force veteran wearing a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ shirt with an Infowars logo,” the newspaper wrote.

The report also highlighted the situation of Taylor Dupont, a 30-year-old software engineer whose employer recently told her that she and about 200 co-workers were being laid off.

“Her child’s school district then cut busing, meaning she’d have to put more miles on her beat-up Kia at a time when gas prices felt outrageous,” Dupont told The Times. “Her grocery costs, utility bills and rent on her two-bedroom duplex were all rising, and she didn’t know what to do about it all. But she did know who she blamed: ‘The president,’ she said, ‘and the billionaires.’”

The Times added: “On Wednesday, she was combing through the half-off aisle at Goodwill. She said she planned to vote in the midterms for the first time, straight Democratic, but she hadn’t yet paid too much attention to any of the races. She needed to land another job, get her car fixed, and before any of that, find her daughter outfits for her first week of school.”
