There is chaos. There is danger. There is risk. There is much courageous, much bravado, much hubris. There is foolishness and arrogance and the possibility of success of failure.
Wisconsin could be a game changer. Let's make it one that falls our way.
Governor Walker is not looking good. He's looking like some of history's most malevolent people. So are Kasich, Scott and the other right wing Governors looking to fly when the election gave them room to walk.
There are immense opportunities here to trip these Republican governors up, to punk them and prank them and frame them so they look as bad as they are, only they look that way to independents and moderate republicans.
We can do this. Today, Walker was pranked by someone who pretended he was one of the Koch billionaire brothers-- the troglodytes at the stirring up the bottom of the right wing cesspool.
Wisconsin offers the left an opportunity to show the big middle how ugly, stupid and meanspirited the right is.
Wisconsin offers progressives an opportunity to show the real differences between populism and plutocratism.
We need to identify language, framing, memes, stories, narratives, new victims, new heroes who further the story of the ugly Republicans... or whatever language is used to paint them as undesirable.
Please talk about your ideas for language, framing, memes, stories, narratives, new victims, new heroes.
Let's crowdsource this.

A few declarations.
-While I'm registered as a Democrat, I consider myself to be a dynamic critic of the Democratic party, just as, well, not quite as much, but almost as much as I am a critic of republicans.
-My articles express my personal opinion, not the opinion of this website.
