(8,017 posts)legislature, we've had some awful laws passed, and there have been protests,etc. They also raised taxes, which republicans are always saying they won't do. Plus they've increased "fees" on just about everything anyone needs to buy or renew.
We're going to have a LOT of work to do to UNdo what the tea-party, koch republicans have done to this state.

I will be one happy cheesehead if Wisconsin goes blue on Tuesday! Governor Evers (D), Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes (D), and A.G. Josh Kaul (D) could use some support for a change.

Best of luck to Wisconsin Democrats!

(6,699 posts)I mean, I'm watching "electoral-vote.com" on a daily basis...and I'm nervous as hell. Looks like VP Biden/Harris have it in the bag...and we have 53 Senate seats in our favor, with one tie; but i won't believe it until I see it....and the rabid cult is going to vomit all over America when/if this happens. This is not one of America's finest moments. We are standing at the cliff of democracy, and this fascist pig and his minions of stooges is doing everything in their power to push us over the edge.
God help us!
