I live in WI. I don’t follow the state or local papers. I don’t watch the evening news. So I am not a trustworthy interpreter. But I have lived here 30 years. Getting worse thru the 2000s and since Snott Wanker I feel that the state is completely hushed. Like after a snowfall and all sound is muffled.
All the worst of the R atrocities have happened here and not only has the state seemed helpless due to complete R control, there is no noise made about ANYTHING. The power grabs go on in silence and the human indignities that the R lege wears like a badge are unchallenged, and not even noised about. There is no buzz, or outrage, or counter-point from the L. There is no responsibility or even mild condemnation from ANY Rs. Only eerie and muffled silence that feels imposed and intentional.
