Democrats now have full control of the Wisconsin election apparatus AND now the state supreme court.
Protasiewicz has been candid during her campaign for Supreme Court about her philosophy and values on issues such as abortion, gerrymandering, LGBTQ rights, and environmental protections.[2] She supports abortion rights and opposes the state's Republican-drawn legislative maps.
This creature is now the swing & deciding vote for all Wisconsin legal disputes.
Wisconsin is a "MUST WIN" state for Trump. There is now absolutely no chance of him winning the state. If you believe the election was stolen in 2020, then you have no choice but to accept it will be stolen by a much wider margin in 2024.
Trump has no path to victory on the electoral map anymore.
On top of losing Wisconsin tonight, the fact that full control of Arizona switched to the Democrats in the recent 2022 election also means that if you believe the election was stolen in Arizona in 2020, then you have no choice but to accept it will be stolen by a much wider margin in 2024.
Election fortification for the win. Since the GOP just lays on the ground wetting themselves it's a winning strategy from here forward.
We need a real opposition party.
Trumpers sure as fuck aren't it. What a bunch of losers. Trump got lucky with a photo finish against criminal hillary in 2016, then has been losing ever since.
What annoys me is that from now on MAGAts are just going to screech ballot fraud because they can't bring themselves to admit that their policies and candidates just aren't vary popular and if they want to win, they need to change tactics. I suspect that many don't actually want to win.
I think the main driving force of Trumpers is just seething emotional rage at the world. They see Trump making people mad, and it makes them smile. They think Trump is "theirguy" because they think he will somehow overthrow the system with his mean tweets.
It's really immature, disordered behavior.
Thankfully they talk big online but they're actually a very small group IRL.
I think Trump's core demographic of supporters are people from places like small town Ohio, places where the big factory in town that was the sole source of good jobs was shut down because the jew investment bankers on Wall Street knew that they'd make a little more profit by offshoring the manufacturing. They feel let down by society and that nobody cared about them. Until Trump. They think that Trump is their guy because he's low brow and talks about "America First" and enrages the people who shit on them.
Unfortunately, Trump is a raging narcissist, and at the end of the day, doesn't give a damn about anyone except for himself. He proved this on January 6, when he let his most loyal supporters rot in prison because he was afraid of the reaction of the Senate. But I can talk to Trump loyalists until I'm blue in the face that he doesn't deserve their loyalty and it goes in one ear and out the other.
I'm sure there was fortification afoot, but it likely didn't make the difference here.
