Don't Be Fooled, Wisconsin Was A Referendum On Trump and Project 2025, Not Musk

I guarantee you that had Trump's Magat hand-picked judge won in Wisconsin, Krasnov would be all over social media taking credit for his great victory.

Those special elections in Pa. and NY were not referendums on Musk, they were referendums on Krasnov and Project 2025.

Krasnov didn't renege on the UN gig for Elise Stefanic because he knew a Democrat would flip her seat in Congress because of a referendum on Musk.

The American people do not want their democracy destroyed, do not want Project 2025.

Congressional Democrats need to get out right fucking now and do town halls all across the country. C'mon. Schumer, Jeffries, get those town halls organized, Indivisible is putting you to shame. Do not sit on your laurels over Wisconsin, this was just one battle won.

Do Town Halls

but did you notice that Krasnov never blamed Musk? I haven't seen it, he can't because Musk is pals with Putin. He did post on social media about the great victory in Wisconsin to get Voter ID, something Wisconsin already had.

So Krasnov took credit for the Voter ID win but Musk takes the blame for the SC loss? It doesn't work that way for me.

Krasnov cannot take losing and when everyone is blaming Musk it takes the heat off Krasnov.

Krasnov's hand picked judge lost the Wisconsin election.

I live in WI. The republican folks here haven't given up on Trump, yet, but they do hate Musk with a white hot passion.

Musk wasn't on the ballot. Krasnov's judge was on the ballot. Women's healthcare rights were on the ballot. Fair elections were on the ballot.
Project 2025 was on the ballot.

"pay-for-votes" schemes. The WI courts didn't stop it. Hope some court does.

Would having another liberal justice on the court have made a difference?

although I know it's the pot of gold they really want. Republicans are nothing if not greedy.

But, we older people VOTE.

Congratulations Wisconsin
