Herein, we see a brutal evisceration of my native region, long since abandoned.

We see a brutal but unavoidable question in this: Does America want to be run like the South? Since the GOP became the Southern party, they have managed to combine the Old Guard/McKinley/Harding/Coolidge wing of the party with the natural bassackwardness of the South.
So we have corporatists married to neo-confederates, in other words: The New Gilded Age.
But the question he puts forward within the current context: Does Wisconsin want to be be Alabama with crappy weather? is a fair one. What about governance in the South is so great? The outcome of public goods is across the board poor: crime is worse, teen pregnancy worse, life expectancy worse, education levels worse, income levels worse.
And the GOP wants to make the rest of the country like that.
(Oh, and Ed lives in my native state.)
