here are a few bright spots in Wisconsin among Tuesday’s results.
So many of us are in head-shaking disbelief about how this could happen in the America we knew as children and young adults — an America in which pride and patriotism trumped political divides.
Harris advocated for building a robust middle class and protecting women’s rights and tackling inflation. However, she wasn’t clear on how she planned to do these things.
Trump won because of the fundamentals.
Those left behind by trade and technology have found a voice in Trump.
I am not sure how others have fared over the past few days, but what has happened has left me, and I suspect many others, too, feeling sad, unsettled, and nostalgic. I feel like we have lost a part of ourselves, our nation.
It is evident that the court should overrule its prior decisions insofar as they permit governors to amend appropriation bills without the approval and “consent of the governed,” as given by their legislative representatives.
As we approached yet another contentious election, the importance of a well-informed electorate has never been clearer. Programs like the Center for Civic Education’s We the People are exactly what we need to catalyze constitutional understanding and serve as an antidote for what ails our civic spirit.
Police in DeForest more than 13 times as likely to issue cannabis citations than counterparts in Milwaukee, Fitchburg or Hobart/Lawrence.
Here’s how policymakers in Washington can support them.
Artificial intelligence is a tech-blue genie that won’t be crammed back into the bottle – in Wisconsin, the United States or by competitors abroad. The best choice is to make it a very useful genie.
In the end it turned out to be about the fundamentals. No party had ever won a presidential election when its incumbent president had approval ratings this low.
A lot has changed in Wisconsin since 2020, from improvements in the Republican ground game to the growth of conservative media to a strong push for early voting. There’s great enthusiasm on the right for Trump in Wisconsin right now – more than there was in 2020 – when people were fatigued. The lawfare turned that around.
Once again, The Donald benefited from a weak opponent. Democrats sowed Tuesday’s defeat four years ago when they nominated (and elected) a deeply diminished and weak man. Donald Trump will make the better President; for moral leadership, we have to look elsewhere.
Without a doubt, white rural voters with lots of anger, resentment, and grievances willfully and recklessly voted to elect Donald Trump to the White House. Those voters fell for the authoritarian demagoguery of the Republican Party nominee that was delivered morning, noon, and night with crudeness, and in the final phase of the election, with outright vulgarity.
