Still don't know what you guys are talking about with Power Rangers MAGA slurs.

But you guys can have your pissing contest and weird beefs.

I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the IRL people who created that image and are boosting it as a checkmate. I don't consider "Blue MAGA" to be a term of beef or pissing contest, it's a perceptible phenomenon related to how the entire political landscape has become gamified and the guardrails of like shame and integrity have wasted away as we descend into this digitally-mediated knife fight.

For a bit of context, it's true Milwaukee proper ultimately drives the statewide Democratic vote - albeit Dane County (where Madison's located) is growing rapidly. Ultimately, the better Milwaukee turns out, the better chance the state goes blue.

Something that shouldn't be discounted in contrasting the city versus the county is that there are suburbs that have trended blue over the years - or are traditionally blue (e.g. Wauwatosa, St. Francis, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay and more.) And even some of the traditionally red surrounding counties - Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington - have suburbs that are gradually going blue. It's the product of Democratic-voting Milwaukeeans leaving the city for the burbs. So, it'd be interesting to see a breakdown by suburban municipality.

All that to say, anecdotally, I think it's a touch early to get nervous.

I do think dems not coming out in droves like republicans kind of concerning

We don't know what will happen on Election Day so it's really hard to say.
