The nonpartisan official says she has been put in an "impossible, untenable spot."

Wisconsin Republicans are moving to fire the state’s nonpartisan elections director ahead of the upcoming presidential primary in the state, casting a shadow of uncertainty over 2024 elections.

The state Senate is set to hold a hearing Tuesday on Meagan Wolfe, the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, the first step in what is likely an attempt to remove her from her position. Democrats say Republicans want to drive Wolfe out of office as retribution for decisions the commission made in 2020.

    Why are conservatives such cartoonishly evil pieces of shit? I truly hope we get to a place were Republicans are no longer a threat to democracy, but I just don’t see how that happens.

          Yeah that’s great and all love the sentiment but that’s all it is. This shit is almost game over. The right has already shown they with show up armed and attempt a coup. That’s not even mentioning how much they are cheating and no one seems to be stopping them.

        They not only don’t have to worry about an armed mob they have their own armed mob who will literally try and overthrow the government for them.

        They keep getting away with everything. They will find a way to wiggle out of anything because they are willing to do anything without giving a second thought to morality or legality.

        They want power they get power and are willing to kill you for it. Then they will dismantle our entire country and sell it to the highest bidder.

        We should be dragging this fuckers into the streets and start beating them with their own coin purses.

          You probably should do that to preserve democracy and protect yourself and your country, but you’re not going to. Instead what you’ll see is them coming for group after group and first throwing them in prison and then concentration camps. You’ll try to debate them and vote them out while they methodically kill you, thereby increasing their power.

          It’s the same pattern as always. If I were in the US I’d do everything to flee while I still could.
