It wasn’t this way when I moved here in the 80’s. We had a Dem congressman and Dem WI assembly and senate. Then we got stuck with Walker and gerrymandering.

Yes, northern Wisconsin has long had pockets of extreme right wingers; very racist against native Americans & people of color.

There is some areas of the state that would rival the most racist rednecks you'll ever find in the south.

Despite our post-debate elation, the race remains close, and TSF has about 70 milllion cultists who will vote for him no matter what. It won’t take much more for him to win, unless we work like crazy to GOTV.

Sheboygan and Manitowoc are pretty red, but at least openly racist people are very few and far, far between.

My landlord put up three big signs in the front of my apartment building, Trump, Hovde and some other GOP clown. (Forgot the name.)

I never see or hear him talk politics though.

mission of visiting all 50 states. The five states I have left are OK, IA, KS, NE, and ND. These are all states I frankly have no desire to visit but I want to accomplish this goal so I'm going for it, despite it being MAGAtland and so close to the election. I plan to keep my eyes open, and my mouth shut. Thankfully, we are ending the trip in beautiful blue Minneapolis to fly home. Wish me luck!

I live in a rural village in Dunn county that is roughly 52-48 blue...rural areas are bright red with trump signs everywhere. Grew up in Polk County...north and to the West...now hopelessly red...irredeemable

At least not where I live.

Even in Montclair, NJ , the most woke town around and a VERY political town, if you see any signs at all, they are tiny Mikie Sherrill or BLM signs or those those blue “Hate Has No Home Here” signs.

Montclair is where Stephen Colbert lives 😊 and where Eric Boehlert lived 🥹. Whoopi likes to eat lunch there.

My husband and I were at a pro-choice rally in Montclair in October 2022 where both Mikie Sherrill and Cory Booker spoke and as we marched around the town passing motorists were beeping their car horns in support.
