This is why the 2024 presidential election is so frustrating. That was the entire republican platform. Blame the immigrants for everything and deport them. And a bunch of dummies voted for it anyway.

That makes way more sense, thank you for the explanation! That seems like pretty creative design for the time period then, especially considering there were no standard controller designs yet.

I never had one of these, but I vividly remember gamefaqs having a section for this device right up there with Gamecube, PS2, and other popular consoles/handhelds of the time. Never really made sense to me.

Ohio is pretty much at the point where Dems should just run sleeper candidates as Republicans and try to win republican primaries in those non competitive districts. Then there's a chance that popular policy can win out. They're already doing nothing with their very limited power anyway.
