When Black people and their supporters go to Washington to peacefully protest they are brutalized by an army of law enforcement officers, but a terroristic mob of thousands of angry mostly-white people show up, law enforcement was not ready to deal with them.
The mob had marched to the Capitol after Trump called his presidential election loss an “egregious assault on our democracy” and told his followers to “walk down to the Capitol” and not show “weakness.”
Hillary Clinton wasn’t that far off when she described half of Donald Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look back at the major stories of 2020 and offer a glimpse of what may happen in 2021.
By inciting mob violence on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump may finally force traditional GOP voters to recoil, but it’s too late to matter.
Sedition against a democratically elected president is treasonous and disqualifies its supporters from holding office.
It is vital for the future of this nation that we rediscover the humanity of those who may disagree with us on one issue or another.
How Trumpublicans baked a cake of lies that fed the armed assault on Congress.
January 6, 2021 is indeed a day that will live in infamy. It will forever be a bloody stain on the American story.
Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke wasted no time in making the inevitable comparison between what happened in Washington yesterday and what happened in 2011 when protesters took over the Wisconsin Capitol in a reaction to what became Act 10.
Democrats as a class never acknowledged the 2016 election, invented a hoax that Vladimir Putin was pulling Trump’s strings, entrapped the man’s campaign aides and General Flynn, spat on White House employees, tried to impeach over a telephone call.
With their words and actions, Ron Johnson, Tom Tiffany, and Scott Fitzgerald have proven themselves unfit to lead. They should all resign.
The path forward for conservatism is to reject both its far left wing and all of its smug elitism and its far right fringe and all of its dangerous flirtations with violence and paranoia.
We’ve asked a few of our favorite friends and contributors to look into their crystal balls to try to predict what will happen in 2021
The research-based “Marshall Plan” suggests a framework to quickly reverse one of the most damaging effects of the pandemic.
Sun Prairie’s Woke educrats want families to know that their children are in good hands in the wake of this week’s violent political demonstrations in Washington, D.C. — thanks to “social-emotional” learning standards.
The effort to block Wisconsin’s votes failed when no member of the U.S. Senate joined in the objection.
The president incited his supporters to invade the Capitol and disrupt the certification of the 2020 election. That is too high a crime to ignore.
There must a determined and bi-partisan pushback against those who would undermine due process and rip at the foundations of democratic institutions.
A recall effort, attacks by the Lincoln Project, angry editorial and much more.
