amount of anger directed towards the law here in Wisconsin. My understanding is that the Wisconsin law is particularly draconian, which doesn't surprise me given that Walker and his minions are particularly slimy even by Republican standards, and what they lack in brains they make up for in their unquenchable thirst for power. Everything they do is done with the goal of trampling on those whom they see as political enemies or rigging the system in their favor (granted, that's the GOP's whole shtick...but Wisconsin Republicans are so arrogant and transparent in the way that they go about it that it's really kind of breathtaking). I'm so glad the rest of America saw through Walker's bullshit so that he's not going to be allowed to fuck up the entire country the way he did my beautiful home state. The guy's every bit as reactionary and insane as the Trumps and Cruzes of the world--he's just a whole lot dumber.
