Wisconsin can't do crap because we are not a rich state. We got the dumbest, sleaziest, Government which has little regard to plan for the future except to keep Gerrymandering in-place.

(9,462 posts)the biggest differences are that MN Democratic voters are a little better a getting out to vote (although WI Democrats are doing better compared to 2010-2016). That, and WI has a real NFL football team while MN loves their hockey.
But the Republicans in both states are pretty much the same - the moderate Republicans are long gone.

(6,011 posts)I have family in Wisconsin. Four generations, and they've come to dislike it. I once had a little fishing shack up there. I hunted with my Uncle when I was a kid. It's a very beautiful and friendly place. Then everything seemed to pull hard to the right, politically.
Nowadays, I'm one less "F.I.B." for you folks to suffer. LOL.
