There's a difference?

Wisconsinites consider Illinois to be Chicago. The whole state is just a giant corrupt Chicago even though I hear the southern part of the state is basically "the south". I'm literally on the border of WI/IL. For some odd reason, Wisconsinites also HATE Illinesians on the road. I was driving my ex-wife's car (IL plates) in downtown Milwaukee once and we got pulled over. Cop was a complete dick. I was speeding but the speed limit sign had 2 numbers posted on it depending on the time of day and I've never seen that before so I just picked the top one. So I got pulled over, the cop threatened to take me to jail solely because I was from out of state. No other reason. He said he could if he wanted to. No clue why he told me that..... this whole time I'm thinking... wtf is going on here? He tells me to give him my license and he notices it's from WI, he goes back to his car, checks it, comes back... "Slow it down." Walks away.

I'd imagine Illinesians think Wisconsinites are just dumb farmers. Well, thanks to Walker that's where we are headed. Except he wants to sell our wildlife reserves and parks to businesses.... so no farms. We'll just be dumb. We used to have one of the best educational systems in the country and now ol' Scooter is just gutting it left and right.

Wisconsin used to be a pretty solid blue state with great a great business and union history. I grew up hating unions because I didn't know what they were.

I admit. I moved out of Wisconsin in 2006 and went to the Seattle area. I liked it there better. A lot better, for many reasons. That being said, I take no responsibility for Walker being in office. I missed his initial spawning and unfortunately the chance to destroy the evil during it's recall. I had to move back here in 2012 and holy poo poo it was like going through a time portal. Moving from Seattle to SE Wisconsin was like going back in time 10-15 years. But the state was completely divided when I got back and anti-intellectualism was starting to take off. It's been 3 years and it's still hard to adapt to the state where I was born and raised.

Edit - I also think the Kenosha News doesn't like Scott Walker because every photo they post of him is mid-sentence so he looks like a complete doofus. Well more.... I mean.... come on you know what I mean.

Orc-liquor
A potion of the Orcs

A brew that served the Orcs in much the same way that miruvor was used by the Elves and their allies: it granted renewed energy and strength to those who drank it. Nothing is known of the origins or contents of the orc-liquor, but drinking it was said to cause a burning sensation, after which a feeling of heat spread through the body.

Walker wouldn't want to work for fox news. He's not a talker and he doesn't care what people think about him or his "ideas". He's barely a politician. He's a businessman. As far as I know he is pretty reserved socially. Never says anything "radical" (as in obvious racist type poo poo). He's pretty tight with the Koch brothers so no matter what happens he is in good shape and has a job. This whole governor thing appears to be a side job and he just seems to be dismantling Wisconsin to better prepare it for corporate ownership.

The FIB advice is good.

I was in Madison for a sleep test at the VA about a month or two ago. Holy poo poo. I've always just been around Madison, maybe Sun Prairie area because my friend went to school there but I never went into the city before. It was beautiful. Trees, beaches, crosswalks that work, people playing in parks, all ages, people riding bikes in suits to work. It was awesome.

Then again, I'm in a very odd area. I'm in Kenosha county. My T-Mobile cell network is like a black hole here compared to the rest of the loving state. Kenosha city is barely hanging on to being blue. I mean it is blue but christ does the red shine brightly. Out in Kenosha county I live in Salem which is loving "Deliverance Wisconsin" as my friend put it when he declined to come out to a bar by me. I'll give him that. Because another friend who is also from WI and lived with me out in WA were both out at a bar here in Salem not long ago and we had to explain to a patron at the local pub that it isn't quite.... appropriate..... to use the word "friend of the family" in casual conversation. In this instance he didn't mean to be using it hatefully, he was just so..... so dumb. He wasn't getting it. And this wasn't the first time I've run into ignorant yet non-aggressive racists out here.

I move into the city on July 21st.

Now, I can't blame Walker for rural folk being ignorant. However, I can blame him for actively loving our higher education system. gently caress Walker.

I was out at a biker bar (WI is land of the Harley) 3 weeks ago in "Deliverance Wisconsin" and a black guy was there. I was talking to someone who I met a week prior at the same place who was a former Seattle cop. Great something in common! Lot's of drinking, talking, etc. So me, the black guy, and the Seattle cop were on the back porch. I quit smoking so I was using an e-cig. It was one racist joke after the other out of the Seattle cop's mouth. At least that's all I heard. We were talking for a while but he kept shoehorning these jokes in. It was uncomfortable to me at least. I was drunk... which is common in Wisconsin. Look it up We all are. So I went to the front porch. The black guy came out front and we were drinking and talking and I just couldn't hold it in. I said, "Ok, is it just me or is that guy racist as gently caress?" Then the black guy blew up and started yelling and finally let out a huge sigh of relief. I felt bad for him. He was surrounded by a bunch of hicks and just had to sit and laugh at the dude's racist jokes just to fit in. That Seattle cop was a loving rear end in a top hat.

Let's think here. I thought there was something else about Wisconsin and minorities...... I just can't put my finger on it.........

Man there's a lot of people on this forum who are always bitching about California being too liberal, touchy-feely and giving a poo poo about minorities that say how great the MidWest/South is because it's cheaper, but at least I don't have to deal with poo poo like this on the reg. Lmao, that black guy is probably going to get killed by the Seattle cop/some other white guy when he finally loses his poo poo telling them off, and it will be deemed a clean shoot.

Then you'll pour some out for it and accept it as "just how it is" while drinking yourself into oblivion because of the reality that is Wisconsin. Then Scott Walker will start invading your dreams, if he hasn't already.

I'm from Wisconsin. Walker is a piece of poo poo, a corporate tool, and a puppet for the Koch brothers.

Funny thing, even conservatives here are finally giving up their blind and ignorant love for him. It's sort of sad to see them admit that he's a piece of poo poo, but also relieving. A local conservative AM radio host cracked a few months back and interrupts completely unrelated topics just to say how much he hates Walker. It could be about the new local baseball team and something he mentions happens to remind him of Scooter, so he goes into a few minute tirade of how much he hates him. It's pretty amusing.

yea but, serious question here- how did he get elected a second time (even after previously being so 'despised' as to have a recall election) if he is so badly hated there.

all joking aside, clearly Wisconsin really likes the guy for whatever reason
