Shout out to Wisconsin !!

Thank you, Wisconsin! We needed that! You needed that! You punched musk and trump in the face for all of us! It feels so good, so correct, so hopeful. I like your choice, too!

You’re welcome! I’m both a proud Wisconsinite and liberal! We don’t like our elections being bought. For god’s sake our famous NFL
Football team the Green Bay Packers is owned by the people of Wisconsin, not a billionaire! How’s that for simple messaging?

This was a huge FUCK YOU to tRump, Musk and money!

Also a big shout out to Underly for being a true public school advocate and for beating back the queen of charter schools tRumped backed Kinser.

That was the equivalent of a left hook followed by a right cross to the MAGA chin.

The Democrats finally landed a couple of solid shots!

Thank you Wisconsin!

Do you remember the Shoe Bomber? A few months after 9/11, Richard Reid tried to blow up a plane with shoes full of explosives. The passengers on the plane realized what was happening, and attacked and subdued him. Due to their actions, he’s now rotting in prison.

Elon Musk especially, but also Donald Trump, were not really taken seriously by most Americans. Similar to how most of us didn’t worry that much about “radical Muslim terrorists” before 9/11. How any thinking person could miss how dangerous they are is beyond me, but now, they’re unmasked and we (most of us, anyway) know what they are.

Edit: meant to reply to the parent post, sorry.
