I was in the belly of the beast yesterday

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

When I was driving back home, I decided to make a stop to hit as many Ingress portals as possible in whatever city it'd be easiest for. But the city this applied to I hadn't been to before...Waukesha, WI.

It felt dirty, but I decided my unique portal visit count was too important. My first stop though was a brief one in Brookfield...which surprised me in that it seemed to be just generic strip malls and fast food chain places. Nothing interesting, but nothing that jumped out as horrifyingly right wing, or frankly much different than D-leaning suburbs like Eagan, MN or various ones near Chicago. After a brief stop there and taking a few portals I headed out to the main target. So...I pulled off the interstate and stopped there and headed to the area around the library and city hall. As I browsed around the whole area I was surprised at how non-shockingly open right wing it was. I was expecting something akin to the inverse of the All Liberal All The Time culture you get flooded with stepping into Minneapolis. Still I could feel the non-liberalism and it felt yucky by the time I got out. Worst of all, I ran out of water, and was still thirsty, so I had to stop at a gas station and actually buy something there!

Oh the shocking thing, I found this there. HOW THE HELL IS THIS SOLD IN WAUKESHA COUNTY WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN SOLD IN MINNEAPOLIS.



It was alright, but not worth the almost $10 cost FYI.

Anyway after I got the portals and some restocking farm I headed out of there FAST. I breathed a huge sigh once I saw the sign entering Dane County, and felt purified and cleansed once I had returned to an actual progressive and human place, not a backwards land of Trump.

What, may I ask, was so overtly non-liberal about the place?

Uh, WAUKESHA COUNTY, WI.

It probably only has 3 Communist Party Meetup groups and only 15 pride parades each year.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

I thought this was about Washington, DC. That's what I call the belly of the beast.

[HillGoose]

Come to Jackson county TN you might just pass out.

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

Your "all liberal, all the time" ethic is bizarre and makes me cringe.


There are plenty of Republican areas I wouldn't mind living in, although most of them happen to be trending Democratic

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Come to Jackson county TN you might just pass out.

He seems to have a unique disdain for conservative suburbs, so imagine his reaction to Williamson County.

As a resident in a conservative suburban area, he would die of a massive intolerance related aneurysm when he sees the one guy down the road with a flag that is half confederate half MAGA.

[JA]

Ordinarily, I'd just consider this satire or trolling, but since it's BRTD I know that he's serious, so I'll just consider it some unusual mental health disorder.

I plan to pass through that county on Jun 28 this year. I don't expect it to be much different than when I went through Trousdale TN last year.

Basically same here

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

ingress! you haven't mentioned that in a while, I feel. what a throwback!

Yeah that's the whole reason I was in Chicago in the first place too.

you should totally meet up with me brah.

also yeah basically Trousdale. Maybe slightly less dense, but idk exactly.

I once rented a car with a TN license plate, and since TN is a state that has the county names on it too I remember the county: Cumberland.

I was pissed off. Here I am driving a non-liberal car from a county Trump win by almost 60 points. What if people on the road who saw me think I voted for Trump?!

I'll keep that in mind. I've met up with more than a dozen Atlas posters on my various travels. I'm taking some back roads from Owensboro to Knoxville that day, so I won't know my exact timing until closer to the date.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

And be strander there forever.

Yes, random people would all pause to think whether a driver of a random car voted for Trump.

BRTD, this county has college degrees and some money - it's the new liberal, get with the times.

Not really. Less than half the populace has one, compare the numbers to Madison or Evanston, IL for examples of other places I was that day.

So you'd feel more comfortable in a Black Belt county with about half this percentage of college degrees because it votes Democratic?

Yes.

What's good about Waukesha County anyway? Lots of chain fast food places you can find anywhere?

I have no special love for the WOW counties because they're Republican, and I would find it strange for you to have a fondness for a shltty area that votes Democratic.

disappointed, thought this would be about your trip to the vore convention
