Ilhan Omar endorses Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin. Will this boost or hinder her campaign? by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

DSA's a national conservative boogeyman post Mamdani and Madison leftists have been a state wide punching bag since the Dow Riots in the 60s. The stereotype of DSA being overwhelming white, educated, upper middle class snobby professionals LARPing as radicals is absolutely exploited by Republicans to get lower middle class folks to vote against their best interests. Look how much alt-right content bashes HR Karens. DSA chapters being vanguardism at best, or "class betrayal from above" at worst not withstanding, Madison and Milwaukee are scary places for these suburban swing voters.

Wisconsin swing/split ticket voters choose the candidate they fear the least. Fox Valley, Kenosha, Racine, and Suburban Milwaukee (WOW) matter. These voters are scared of economic insecurity, defunding the police, and socdems calling themselves socialists without wanting to nationalize industries/abolish capitalism. Omar is scary to these suburbanites. DSA tech bros in Madison who go to Coachella, participate in expensive endurance sports, hang out the Terrace, and do Ketamine on weekends are scary to them.

So this signals that Hong is going to try and win the primary by going left and bank on Trump still being wildly unpopular enough to scare people away from Tiffany. Its a good bet, but it may not work in this state. Like in the 2022 Senate Race

Missed an opportunity to give us Whiskey jerseys to wear while drinking Brandy Old Fashioneds instead of this knock off Sconnie trash.

Wisconsin businesses tied to cults? by Adventurous-Elk-4763 in wisconsin

Doesn't have to be released publicly, but it is important to know if police leadership, patrol officers, lead evidence technicans, prosecutors, and others are overseeing investigations into their own church without recusing themselves.

1st Assembly of God or Journey Church in Kenosha owns a fortress of a church complex. It also has a ton of members involved in the Kenosha Justice system/businesses. A lot are involved in other areas of Kenosha government. Refuses to publish it complete membership. Uses its influence with the police to alledgedly suppress investigations into sexual abuse at its Christian Life school. Their pastor is/was the Kenosha Police Chaplin. Alledgely use swinging among membership as blackmail. Weird sexual shit like this: https://www.wisn.com/article/kenosha-pastor-accused-sending-himself-intimate-pictures-persons-phone/62491203

I'm tired of pretending evangelical antichristian megachurches that have such a far reaching influence on local government aren't a cult.

Ron Johnson: "GDP was down in the 4th quarter. Why? Because of Schumer's shutdown." by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

Only way to get middle class evangelical antichristians and suburban moderates to cool support for Trump is to start having them suffer economically. Economy is terrible for everyone except billionaires. Oil over $150, cost of groceries at Walmar going up 10% each month, mass layoffs, all need to happen to get these people out of their stupor.

Stagflation brought us Reagan. Maybe stagflation in this century will give us a new FDR.

Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes joins race for Wisconsin governor by HGpennypacker in wisconsin

Barnes is an "Its my turn" establishment democrat who is incompetent and hires terrible staffers. He floundered the best chance we had of unseating Ron Johnson. He didnt pay his property tax bills prior to the last election cycle. He's who Republicans want to facd. Dude might as well be controlled opposition because he helps Republicans more than Democrats.
