I love the state level progressives too much. Such a shame that being an isolationist in public office during the World Wars was considered worse than being a flagrant adulterer by many.
#its not JUST a wisconsin thing#also a dakota and probably Minnesota thing#anyways v funny to have learned that the commies in the Milwaukee CIO helped push their enemy#bob la follette jr out of the senate and ended up giving joe mccarthy a surprise win#(they were trying to make WI a Dem state so they pushed their members to the dem primary#so La Follette got crushed by McCarthy in the Rep primary and then beat the Dems#because the Dems had been assuming they could take over the Progressive machinery)
