Wisconsin is sort of an extreme case of what we see in the US, with very concentrated Democratic support in 2 of the 72 counties and more diffuse GOP support in the rest of the state. It’s one reason the state gave Obama a victory in one term and Trump the next. The politics can be squirrelly here, but I don’t see a fascist putsch anytime soon.
