Even funnier, the original tweet was from a guy in ~~Cincinnati (I think, but it could have been a different Ohio city)~~ [edit:it was a different Ohio city, lol] Cleveland and even his joke was stolen
Cleveland, which for the unaware is very similar to Detroit economically and socially
Yeah, that makes sense. Ohio has a weirdly large number of nationally known cities. I’m from Connecticut and I think I know about as many cities by name in Ohio as in California, and I only know more municipalities by name in New York and New England.
Ohio has lost its relative population and economic significance in recent years, but historically it was a pretty significant state. To give an idea in terms of # of representatives in the House:
Ohio had more/equal reps compared to California until the 50s, Texas until the 60s, and Florida until the 90s. Its numbers have been very close to Illinois for the past century also.
The collective cultural awareness of cities in such a state holds inertia for a while, and Ohio still has a decent population despite some decline.
