Is Madison Wisconsin supposed to represent some liberal bastion of wokeness? Wisconsin??
Relative to the surrounding area, and possibly a lot of the Midwest, yes. I lived near there for a little bit, fun town.
Yeah, it’s very blue and has high voter turnout, the whole of Dane county even
Overall Wisconsin is a pretty purple state
Edit: the state was also horribly gerrymandered after the 2010 midterms until recently. It has been turned around due to wins in the Supreme Court. Currently it is 4-3 left vs right leaning justices, but on August 1 Chris Taylor will replace Rebecca Bradley making it 5-2. Ziegler is next in 2027 meaning it could be 6-1
Wisconsin is historically left-leaning. The Republican party was founded here by abolitionists in response to the expansion of slavery. Milwaukee had a few Socialist mayors before the Cold War.
It's a purple state now, but that's only because we're gerrymandered to hell. Most cities tend liberal, but Madison is on another level.
It's a liberal college town
