Fuckin hell growing up in ohio it was a swing state, and I remember watching it slowly get worse and worse before I left for the PNW. The busses come with reasonable frequency here, and they even go to suburbs beyond a single commuter bus. Portland and Seattle both even have light rail systems (Columbus adamantly rejects the premise of building a fucking train, despite being quite blue). When I was unemployed they didn't care that I had savings when I applied for medicaid, just that I wasn't earning too much in interest on them to qualify (ohio rejected me for having less money in savings). There are still problems and bigots and I don't love everything about here, but I feel safe and I feel like this place actually is attempting to improve while Ohio just kinda started giving up when manufacturing went away and is convinced that trying to improve things will only make them worse, which the state legislature has fostered.
