14. Part of me just cannot believe

That with the environmental obscenities the Walker regime has been committing in Northern Wisconsin – not even just in the Native American-heavy areas (which were predictably Democratic) – that they would be so decisively in favor of Donald Trump. It just boggles my mind.

And I know that these areas have been Walker strongholds, but given the deluge of legislation that has been passed at just the local level in just the past couple of years in many of these areas to counteract much of the dickhead's draconian policies, I am just flabbergasted that they would turn out so strongly for Trump. It makes no sense, and I was on the ground up there.

And I get it, I'm not thinking rationally. I'm thinking too anecdotally. But this is the type of stuff that just stinks to me.

Of course, there's always the possibility that these are the populations whose votes Walker succeeded in suppressing via the grotesque policies his gerrymandered legislature passed virtually unimpeded.
