Today's Topic: Progressive win in Wisconsin shows the way but Trump counts on terrorismThis morning I woke up to a distressing Washington Post article in my newsfeed. Ironically, it wasnt the real gist of the article that concerned me. It was a very short paragraph likely ignored by most. It had to do with Trump and terrorism. But I was pleasantly surprised by a win for a politician who ran on a progressive issue and won in a Trump district, a 26 point turn around. This wasnt a we came close to a win like Ossoff in Georgia. This was a victory on the values we stand for now and campaigned on unabashedly.

(6,288 posts)"Democrats picked up their first state legislature seat in 2018 on Tuesday, as the partys candidate won a special election for a state Senate seat in Wisconsins 10th District."
SNIP
Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Martha Laning was more effusive, posting on Facebook following Schachtner's win that a "change is coming!!!"
The party issued a news release saying the race shows a Democratic wave is building in Wisconsin as well as nationally.
"President Donald Trump along with Speaker Paul Ryan and Gov. Scott Walker who support and prop him up are toxically unpopular and divisive," the party said in the release.
Democrats have already made big gains elsewhere, including picking up 15 seats in the Virginia state House in November, and in Alabama, where Doug Jones captured a U.S. Senate seat last month.
Patty Schachtner's victory over an incumbent Republican state representative in Wisconsin's 10th Senate District follows Democratic wins across the country.
