Well the kid that got killed when Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker refused to fund necessary maintenance of a parking structure should have already taught Wisconsin this "cautionary tale". Instead, his propaganda tools in the media flushed this down the memory hole and Wisconsin voters largely never knew how deadly his brand of tea-baggin' divide-and-conquer really is.
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about a DC Metro story that we should learn from, but the fact is that as long as Wisconsin media is dominated by Walker apologists and right-wing hacks, there is no lesson from anything -- even with kids are killed.
