Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Wisconsin

 The state GOP in Wisconsin has gerrymandered the living shit out of their state, and as a result they have insulated themselves from electoral accountability. That doesn't mean they won't still find a way to screw around with the elections that do happen, like firing the state's election chief for no reason or impeaching the liberal judge who - having been recently elected - holds the key to keep Wisconsin even marginally a democratic, much less a Democratic, state.

The brazen authoritarianism of the Wisconsin GOP is what we could expect from a second Trump administration - especially if paired with a GOP Congress. Elections might occur, but they won't mean shit.
