The Flipping of Kenosha County
You might not have seen it on CNN or MSNBC lately, but some important elections went down this past week.
No, there’s no contentious primary for president or wrestling match for the senate. There wasn’t a viral war of retweets and radio soundbites.
What went down was old school, grudge match, neighborhood politics. Except what happened in this locality could spread to many others sooner than you think.
Wisconsin's Kenosha County executive flipped red for the first time in decades after the city gained widespread attention amid damaging riots and the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
Voters elected Samantha Kerkman on April 5th as the county executive. The race was described as nonpartisan, but Kerkman had the backing of Republicans and serves as a Republican state representative. Her opponent, Rebecca Matoska-Mentink, is a Democrat and serves as the Clerk of Courts.
It is the first time a woman will serve in the position and the first time since at least 1998 that a Republican has been elected. The Associated Press reported Kerkman is the first Republican ever to hold the officially nonpartisan office, though Fox News has not independently confirmed the report.
People reached a breaking point over the last few years, and this was their chance to make significant change through peaceful, nonviolent means — means that the Left only values when they win, otherwise they start rioting and looting.
The COVID lockdowns, the mask and vaccine mandates, the efforts to defund the police as well as the radicalization of school boards impacted many families across the country, but in Kenosha all those factors came into play as the nation watched in horror the manifestation of real “progressive” values.
Wisconsin as a whole may be a purple state, but the priorities of this midwest region aren’t too difficult to understand. The mysterious “Obama-Trump” voter is pro-union yet pro-blue collar. They would consider themselves economically liberal but in their own homes, live and espouse traditionally conservative values. These people want to live their lives by simply earning an honest day’s pay and knowing they can take care of their families. What goes on in Washington may bother them, they may even have a harsh opinion or two, but ultimately they don’t get too emotionally evolved.
For many, in 2020 they felt that to vote for Biden over Trump would mean they could get back to life prior to the pandemic, and when the news wasn’t calling Trump the destroyer of worlds on a day to day basis.
Now however, the actions of Washington and the other liberal coastal elites are hitting home. Inflation kills their savings while their children’s teachers expose them to graphic sexual material in the name of “diversity.”
No more.
This realignment of the Obama-Trump voter symbolizes a point where even self-proclaimed “moderate” Joe Biden can’t convince these midwest parents that what they see in front of them isn’t happening.
This isn’t just exclusive to Wisconsin though, this realignment of voters is happening throughout the nation. A recent survey even shows 1 in 5 Democrats in New York state would rather have Trump back than deal with Biden another four years.
What went on in the major cities and in D.C. is no longer contained to cable television and the Internet, these parents understand that the issues are coming home, and only they can stop the madness.
