OK one more thing...
Further proof it is the racism here in Wisconsin.
Looks like Tammy Baldwin is going to retain her Senate seat by some 25,000 votes. Trump carried the state.
Which says to me that 25K people here in WI are perfectly fine voting for a white, openly bisexual woman, but not a Black woman. You cannot tell me there is any difference in competence or policy positions between Harris and Baldwin. It sure looks like racism to me.
This whole election looks to me like "Urban Renewal" in the 1960s.
After working in factories for 2 decades starting in WWII Black people starting buying houses. White people left in droves. After the while folks left, they made sure to "get rid of the eyesores" (Black people's neighborhoods) that remained in the cities. They would talk about "economic development" and "revitalization" but underneath it was just pure, ugly racism.
That's what drove this election. Not money, not campaign ad spending, not the economy. Just pure racism (by which I include all other "divisions," immigrants, Muslims, LGTBQ+, sexism, etc.)
