I know not everyone here believes me, but the vast MAJORITY of Wisconsinites ARE Conservative.

You only hear reports about the lunatic Socialist Democrat antics in Madison, Milwaukee and up where Wisconsin meets Minnesota near the Twin Cities.

And, FWIW, NO ONE in Wisconsin calls any part of their town/city ‘uptown!’ If it’s in the center of town, or the business district, it’s ‘Downtown.’

Not sure where the author got THAT phrase from.

I have ‘relatives’, near Madison .. the radicals hotspot... of wine and cheese... Now, these relatives are not ‘natural’ born to Wisconsin, but, the draw of Madison, University ‘culture’ was a big draw for relocation... I get to hear, that it is the so called ‘educated’, intellectuals are all for and about ‘marxist’ notions and ideas .. they are so above the rest of ‘hick’ America.

When the history of what has unfolded gets accurately recorded, America is going to find out that a replay of Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s set up shop right here from college to college, and university to university... lies and distortion that cost the parents/students more than a typical American house to get a diploma ...

How else did a Wisconsin superintendent get elected governor? Public education has been corrupted from the bottom up and top down.

Hi Diana! Happy to see another Wisconsinite here.

One little point... actually the author is correct. I have lived in Kenosha for 31 years. There is indeed a neighborhood known as Uptown in Kenosha, located in the in the center city, west of Downtown (which is east of Sheridan Rd near the Lake). Uptown is an older retail area primarily along 22nd Avenue between Roosevelt Rd/63rd St & 60th St, which was decimated on the 2nd night of the rioting. Many of you have seen pictures of the Danish Brotherhood Hall being completely consumed by flames. This was located in this neighborhood, and was where the older gentleman was brutally attacked as he tried to defend it. A good friend of ours lost his business along Roosevelt Rd, and people lost their homes who lived in apartments above these businesses.

Seeing long-time, well-loved family businesses intentionally reduced to piles of burnt rubble is surreal. We were attacked. I am still so sickened, angry & exhausted that I can barely put any of this into words. We have barely slept all week. Our neighborhood has been quiet and well-away from the violence, but no one feels safe or is letting down their guard.

As an added note... we were driving out in the county today, west of I-94. Unlike the city, the county is conservative and leans Republican. I am happy to report seeing MANY Trump signs! I have also seen Trump signs cropping up here in the city, which for the most part didn't happen in 2016.
