“Havel did not like the word dissident because it suggested a separate vocation. He thought the “dissidents” were just being themselves, living their truths, sovereign and unpredictable. Dissidence was just a matter of trying to live according to virtues rather than conforming.”

Democratic candidates were the top two finishers on the Mason City Council, and the Mason School Board. A few years back…unthinkable.
Democrats flipped a seat on the West Chester Board of Trustees, Ohio’s largest township. Kamala Harris topped out at 44% there a year ago.

The traditional Republican base. Must-win areas if Republicans want to win Ohio.
