'THE DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR' (HIS NAME IS TONY EVERS) DID NO SUCH THING, OF COURSE. IN FACT HE RESISTED ACCEPTING ANY FED AID UNTIL THIRD NIGHT OF VIOLENCE RESULTED IN MULTIPLE DEATHS. EVERS ONLY SOUGHT COORDINATION ASSISTANCE WITH OTHER STATES, AND THE 'TROOPS' ARE WI NATIONAL GUARD. https://twitter.com/JediofGallifrey/status/1298750847246049280
WHY MIGHT WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH OTHER STATES? COULD IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH, SAY, THE FACT THAT KENOSHA IS JUST OFF THE STATE LINE? THAT THE SHOOTER EVERYONE BLAMED WISCONSIN FOR ON SOCIAL MEDIA WAS FROM ILLINOIS, AND FLED ACROSS STATE LINES?
NEVER ANY NEED TO GET, OR WAIT FOR, ACTUAL FACTS WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA RUBBERNECKING ON WISCONSIN. NEVER ANY NEED TO TREAT HUMANS LIVING HERE LIKE THEY WERE ACTUAL PEOPLE, WITH AGENCY, WITH POLITICS, WITH AGENDAS OF THEIR OWN.
AND *NEVER* ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR GETTING IT WRONG.
AND *NEVER* ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR GETTING IT WRONG.
THIS ABSOLUTE LIE HEARD ROUND THE WORLD? STILL UP. STILL DELIBERATELY MISLEADING ABOUT AN ELECTION, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE AGAINST @TWITTER TERMS OF SERVICE. https://twitter.com/tomaskenn/status/1294427812670124033
WISCONSINITES WERE BEING DUPED YET AGAIN! DESTROYING OUR MAILBOXES, RIGGING THE ELECTION FOR TRUMP.
EXCEPT NOT. IT WAS ACTUALLY A WISCONSIN BUSINESS WITH A LONGSTANDING FEDERAL CONTRACT TO REFURBISH AND REPAINT MAIL BOXES. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/aug/17/facebook-posts/no-wisconsin-mailbox-picture-isnt-proof-massive-vo/

WISCONSIN VOTES IN UNEXPECTED WAY IN 2016.
COULD IT BE A HISTORICALLY BAD CANDIDATE, WHO REFUSED TO CAMPAIGN, OR EVEN FUND GET OUT THE VOTE EFFORTS, IN SWING STATES?
NAH. IT MUST BE A SINISTER SLAVIC CONSPIRACY. THE RUSSIANS HACKED THE VOTE! OR POSTED MEMES! OR SOMETHING!

EVEN THE EXTREMELY, AND THE DALEK MEANS *EXTREMELY*, RARE EFFORT TO ACTUALLY ASK WISCONSINITES WHY THEY VOTED AGAINST CLINTON WERE MET WITH HARSH BACKLASH ONLINE.
WHY TALK TO HUMANS FROM WISCONSIN? THEY'RE ALL CREDULOUS DUPES. IT WAS THE RUSSIANS! https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/us/many-in-milwaukee-neighborhood-didnt-vote-and-dont-regret-it.html

AND WHEN ONLINE LIBERALS ARE NOT LYING ABOUT THIS STATE, THEY'RE ACTIVELY CHEERLEADING ITS MISERY. LIKE WHEN COLBERT THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS TO RUN A SEGMENT MOCKING MILWAUKEE FOR LOSING A MAJOR CONVENTION DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND SUFFERING ECONOMICALLY. https://milwaukeerecord.com/city-life/watch-stephen-colbert-take-a-dump-on-our-city-with-a-lame-virtual-milwaukee-tour/
'But Colbert apologized!'
NO, HE (PERHAPS 'JOKINGLY'?) BLAMED A WRITER HE CLAIMS IS FROM MADISON.
BECAUSE EVEN WHEN WISCONSIN GETS A RARE APOLOGY FOR MEDIA TREATMENT, IT'S STILL OUR FAULT. https://www.channel3000.com/stephen-colbert-apologizes-to-milwaukee-after-last-weeks-segment-blaming-a-madison-writer/

HARDLY JUST WISCONSIN OF COURSE. ALL 'FLYOVER STATES' ARE TREATED THIS WAY.
IOWA GOT HIT BY THE EQUIVALENT OF A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE (LIKE LAURA).
THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO NATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE. WHY BOTHER? IT'S JUST IOWA. THEY'RE NOT REAL PEOPLE. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/08/14/iowa-derecho-attention-aid/

WISCONSIN, IOWA, WEST VIRGINIA, PLAINS STATES, MUCH OF THE WEST (OUTSIDE THE NATIONAL PARKS) ARE NOT REAL PLACES, THEIR INHABITANTS ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE. NOT TO VERY ONLINE LIBERALS.
WE'RE PART OF THE MAP THEY NEVER BOTHER TO LEARN ABOUT, WITH 'HERE BE DRAGONS' SCRAWLED ON TOP.
WE'RE PART OF THE MAP THEY NEVER BOTHER TO LEARN ABOUT, WITH 'HERE BE DRAGONS' SCRAWLED ON TOP.
SO IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF MYTHICAL PLACES AND FAIRY TALES, THEY BELIEVE EVERY OUTLANDISH ACCUSATION, EVERY CONSPIRACY THEORY, EVERY VIRAL POST AND TWEET ABOUT US.
AND WHY NOT?
NO ONE ACTUALLY LIVES HERE. WE'RE LIKE SHANGRI-LA, BUT WITH MORE COWS.
AND WHY NOT?

ONLY THE VERY, VERY LATEST FAKE VIRAL STORY ABOUT WISCONSIN.
