It was a great night but the fight is not over.

I think there’d be significant rioting in that case. Repubs know they're on borrowed time as a member of the “majority” after yesterday.

That will set them up well for the next election. They will lose by 20%. What they are pushing no one wants.

I don't see how that would work out well for them. From what I understand, anyone they impeach can be replaced by Evers without any confirmation vote, so they can't get rid of the liberal vote. And they will royally piss off voters going into the next election if they impeach someone that the voters just overwhelmingly elected on obviously political grounds.

Delay delay delay and then get a SCOTUS ruling. Because of the exent of the gerrymander Dems need a statewide margin of 20% just to get a bare minimum State House majority. As long as the gerrymander is maintained then so is the power.

This makes me happy in an otherwise bleak political landscape.

But how is that going to work? They impeach Protasiewicz and the next day Evers appoints some other liberal to take her place. They've delayed nothing.

They are so well gerrymandereded that they can strip power from state wide elected officials.

I imagine the calculus is going something like, do we lean in hard on proving we are, in fact, the enemy of democracy (i.e embrace the Jan 6 image) or do we cut some mealy mouthed deal on abortion rights (16 week, minimal protections after that)assuming they can peel the moderates back off. Because moderates neither want overthrow of government OR Gilead so they’re going to have to pick.

They've got to realize they'll only get one or two shots at impeachments before it becomes obvious they are abusing the authority and it comes back to bite them even among more conservative voters.

And then the Democratic LG would take over.

The district that this Knodl creep won is so gerrymandered that it includes liberal parts of Milwaukee proper as well as liberal North Shore suburbs roped in with weird Republican towns like Lisbon in Waukesha County, which are no where near those other places.

The rep that used to hold the seat (Alberta Darling) won by 10 points just 2 years ago.
That Knodl won it by only 1 point is huge. That's an amazing 9 point swing to the Dems in just two years. Good trend.
