A lawsuit filed Wednesday asks Wisconsin’s newly liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to throw out Republican-drawn legislative maps as unconstitutional, the latest legal challenge of many nationwide that could upset political boundary lines before the 2024 election.
Good. I’m a conservative Wisconsinite myself, but the state senate acts like they’re royalty, continually ignoring they will of the people and saying that’s what we actually want.
See: Marijuana reform. We have millions, possibly billions in taxes going to other states and state republicans claim the people aren’t ready for it, even though something like 70%+ of the states population is in favor of legalization.
Meanwhile we have almost all of the top 50 counties in the US for alcoholism. But ignore that, weed crime is the real issue apparently.
We need the state congress to accurately represent the people, not this corrupt bs we have now.
I hate to break it to you, but ignoring the will of the people has been core tenant of conservatism for at least the passed 100 years.
Conservative literally means to be less open to changes in government. They used to be the party of status quo, now they’re the party of regression. Neither is a healthy stance for a government, as governments inherently need to respond to changes and provide for the protection and welfare of the population.
I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish by using such a wide brush to paint such an inaccurate, broad picture. This really isn’t much better than saying “democrats are communists”.
What does the word conservative mean?
