There's no scenario in which they can crush the schools and maintain dominance; they are a package deal. They decided they valued crushing the schools more than the dominance. It's drained pool politics yet again

programs to the state legislature, which was gerrymandered up until last year. This is going to keep happening so long as they have even a one-seat majority in just one of the legislative chambers!

by 0.4%. You'd think that the Republicans in Waukesha would appreciate this after the goodwill Milwaukee showed them, right?

Best example is that the beating heart of fascist WI, Waukesha, fucked up their own water supply and has to rely on Milwaukee's instead. This has put stress on the city's system, and parts of it need to be replaced. In order to fund this, among other things, the city wanted to increase the sales tax

And they'll try it no matter how blue your state is. WI isn't as bad as MO, but this is how it's been here for the last 15 years, and we're only going to be able to stop it next year (if we're lucky!)

2000, they only lifted the ban because Bush campaigned and they didn't want to it to create a media controversy. Not that the media would have treated it that way lol
Same year that over 40% of Alabamians voted against removing their interracial marriage ban from their state constitution!

They envision a world in which Russia gets Europe, China gets Asia, the US gets the Western Hemisphere, and they fight over Africa's resources. Literally 1984!
