“We never thought it could happen here.” by WisCommando

We never thought it could happen here. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, I was exposed to various circumstances of rural life. I also did get a bit of exposure towns and cities, but mostly we grew up out in the middle of nowhere; the nearest neighbor was quite a hike.

We lived on the last paved road in that part of our county, and the only reason it was paved was because there were a few families that had children that attended the local government school. This made us the furthest-out bus route. What this meant: cold mornings and late nights, especially in fall and winter. We were the first ones on the bus in the mornings, and the last off in the evenings. I remember coming home late in the fall, the sun was setting, but all I wanted to do was go play out in the woods.

I still remember those woods, and many of the woods at the nearby schoolmate’s houses. We grew up with corded phones, and just a few channels. In the summer, out there, a bicycle was not just a given, it was a necessity. We had to bike to our friends, the lake, the store… to church. You also had to have a snow suit, because even in the dead of winter, dark and cold, the sun was down and the only lights were from the kitchen and dining windows, the standard answer from an annoyed parent was “Go outside and play!” So we did, no matter the weather.

Most days, I wish I was still out there. Life takes us in different directions, and I’m sure yours, dear reader, is no different.

This is why most voters in WI thought that it was impossible for an election to be “stolen.” Rural folk, with little-to-no understanding of what happens in the big cities – the plotting, scheming, greedy hand-rubbing, and political machinations – see the centerpiece of the painting, but miss the background, the story the painting portrays. Heck, in some cases, even the frame is very important.

The reason for this is the rural folk are a bit less concerned with the cities’ politics. What we had, and still have, to worry about was whether there was enough feed for the chickens, how soon the corn needed to come out of the fields, what time to feed the pigs and cows, did we grow enough hay for the horses this spring, did we split enough wood and buy enough propane for heating this winter? We wanted to go to the store and get the supplies we needed, pay for it honestly, and get paid honestly.

The rest of it didn’t, and still doesn’t matter. Family and local gatherings, holidays, and hard work make up the lives of those living and growing in the “fly-over” country. We just want to live our lives, and work hard if we must.

But they don’t want to leave us alone; it’s glaringly obvious now, and denial is no escape. They’re coming for our tax money, guns, and the rest of our stuff, no matter where we live. They’ve said so; look at any communist-socialist cause around the world – that’s what they want to shove down our throats. They want to track and trace, even if you live in the deepest of the Northwoods.

85% of the people in WI live outside of the two major metropolitan areas, and those 15% and the surrounding areas just told us that they want to impose communism and destroy the foundations of freedom for the rest of us.

Will we let them?

 

I will quote the Zman from yesterday:

“I must admit that even though I’ve been predicting a rigged election for months, it is still a let down to see it happening. It’s like the passing of an old friend who has been sick for a long time. You know what’s coming, but it still feels bad when it happens.

America has been sick for a long time. Most here have known it. Some maybe hoped Trump was the miracle cure. Others thought they had reconciled themselves to the inevitable. Others, thought Trump would buy some more time with our old friend America.

Last night, America died. Everyone is justified in feeling bad about it. Treat this like the loss of an old friend. Mourn now, but then use this reality to help your normie friends move past their civic nationalist nostalgia into the cold reality of now, just as you would help a friend mourn the loss of a parent.”

    WiscoMando, here in rural SW WI, the county roads and back dirt roads have more Biden/Harris signs than Trump/Pence, often by a 3 or 4 to 1 margin. Many of those Biden signs were Bernie signs this spring. Don’t for a minute think that it’s only 15% of WI that wants Kamala’s version of socialism. Rural WI is full on apologetic white guilt, social justice for “pick the daily grief” progressivism.

      WI Hunter – I don’t need you to dissect my post in that way. This was a general “feeling” from the days leading up and prior to the election. I did say that it was 15% and their surrounding areas.

      I do a LOT of moving around the state year round. The SW area not as deeply but I can tell you where I am and the areas I frequent are 10:1 roughly DJT signage to B/H. One of the counties I saw votes were 2:1 T:B. Others inverted or more.

      The point is, WI is a hard working, middle class, manufacturing based stated. Scandinavian and Germanic peoples mostly. We work hard and aren’t afraid to play hard.

      Didn’t think it could happen, at least not so blatantly right here at home. Most of the folks I talked to over the last few months knew it was a vote for or against communism. But then again, got Evers didn’t we.

      I’d be happy to buy you a beer some time.

        WM,

        My apologies, I wasn’t trying to dissect at all. Was just trying to convey that Dane and Milwaukee counties are no longer the only progressive strongholds in the state. Sadly, Richland Center looks like a suburb of Madison these days.

        I’ll buy the second.

        Alternate response to WIHunter’s point, whatever it is, is:

        “So?”

        But then you wouldn’t get to offer him a beer, so yours is probably better.

          LMAO…

        When I was doing some traveling through WI several years ago picking up farm machinery I bought I was impressed with northern WI, it was beautiful, and the people were awesome. I think I was up around Ladysmith and Holcombe if memory serves me right. Other than the accent the folks I talked to were just like the people I grew up with. They all knew from my drawl that I wasn’t from there, and they asked what I was doing that far up in WI. I had to explain what I meant when I asked for chili on my hot dog, and when I asked for a BBQ sandwich, and they explained what JoJo’s were to me (tater tots where I’m from) and they were just as conservative and patriotic as the folks I’ve grown up around.
        When I was driving through Madison and the surrounding areas it was totally different, I felt like I could have been in the middle of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, or Charlotte. I would imagine that area was solid blue, but a lot of the rest of the state I can’t see supporting ol’ joe sniffie.
        WiscoMando, whatever political shenanigans are going on, I was thoroughly impressed with the people I met in most of the state, and with the beauty of the countryside.

    Reminds me of a old phrase I either heard or read,”It is acceptable to cry due to a loss,then,pick up your sword and keep fighting”.

    Anyone that has “white guilt ” has never been culturally enriched. Shoot the cat ladies and wine aunts first.

    Thank you for this article WiscoMando, that’s exactly how I feel….. as if America died in the night.

      I disagree. I am not “mourning” a sick friend that was facing the inevitable. I am pissed off that myself, you, and everyone else sat around allowing thugs threatening our friend every night with death. And we dis nothing. And when they finally killed him. We still did nothing…..I am angry these thugs have used our own laws to benefit their movement. To bring Marxism and hate. All I see everywhere are so called keyboard warrior patriots to scared to even protest, march or gather because they have a few nickels at stake or some job they may get doxxed and fired from. Well, the reality is they will lose those nickels, every one of them and that damn job all to taxes going to fund “diversity”. There will be genocide of white and conservatives. Make no mistake. You are only delays your demise. The real question is will you be like the beaten down Jews and still not fight when you weigh 65 pounds. You gave up the perfect opportunity to fight when you had assets, a job, health and means. All for a few more warm filled air in your homes on a cold winter night. You delays until there was no more delaying. Always procrastinating and inventing another reason today is not a good day to be that patriot. The most free nation in the world, the most heavily armed and we, we are all pussies.waiting our own demise. A pit bull enslaved by teacup poodles.sad. Really. Really. Sad.
