Madistan is correct. See also: Deerbornistan, Minneapostan, Chicongo, etc.
she’s in denial ... and will keep voting Democrat.
Yes, this is UW-Madison area. The Berkley of the Midwest. Madison has been the home of the self-admiring, ivory tower liberals. You know, the liberals who are certain they are better and smarter than any Conservative, because they understand things and see things in their enlightened way. So, in a sense, this is interesting to see their enlightened city become unglued.
A lot of people migrated to Madison from Chicago and Milwaukee in the 90s and 2000s to escape the violent chaos that surrounded them there. And guess what? They brought or replicated the very same chaos with them to Madison.
The area of this business is actually a nice area. However, there is a lot of low-income housing in the surrounding the area and this is where the problems are coming from. And in Madison, as in other liberal areas of the country, the business owner here seems to be moderating her comments. Do you have any idea what would happen to her and her business if she really spoke her mind over the damage she has suffered? The media would swoop down on her and the liberal backlash would probably drive completely out of business as she has several locations.
Another poster just explained about all the "istans" in the U.S. LOL! (Actually, it's terribly sad but unless the majority of American voters wake up ......)
Democrats/RINOs always assume the majority of American voters are mindless lemmings and depend on that as their voting base. But are they right?
You nailed it. But Madistan has a LONG history of tolerating the intolerable. And as much as it pains me to say it, Paul Soglin WAS a good Mayor. 3 times, I believe? he was a regular customer of mine at my Garden Center (outside of Madison!) He loved his home-grown tomatoes, LOL!
Those of us that are sane - MOVE AWAY!
It was great when I was a kid in the 70’s. Yeah, we had the Hippies protesting Vietnam and all, but they pretty much left the rest of us alone.
It wasn’t unusual for Mom to drop us off at The Mall (one of the first!) and for us to catch a bus up to The Capitol Square where we’d run wild for the day until she picked us up again. No fear...for us or her.
Yeah, we had the Sterling Hall Bombing. 1970. We had JUST moved to Sun Prairie (bedroom community) and Dad took me and Sis down there to see the damage. We were 10 and 6 years old at the time. It was a fantastic Object Lesson. Dad was a die-hard Conservative, LOVED President Reagan, and listened to Rush from Day One. ;)
My liberal sister lives in Madison; she hears plenty of gunfire in her East Side neighborhood; right where this story happened. I’m sure she ran over there to hug the owner, while they both count on, ‘Rainbows and Pixie Dust and Brandon’ to keep them safe.
*ROLLEYES*
Yep. And nary a PEEP from Madistan’s Chamber of Commerce - or the lefty lesbian Mayor! Many of those buildings are STILL boarded up.
But, they don’t show that on the local news. It’s probably racist or gay-bashing or something. *SMIRK*
You are 100% correct in your WAG.
The two areas of Wisconsin that are infected the worst with flea-bitten Hippies and card-carrying Communists are always referred to as, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ and ‘The People’s Republic of Milwaukeestan.’
Of course I know that. It's just like when I merely mention the Democrat Party Cabal-directed nationwide violent Black Lives Matter/Antifa wild thug mob riots throughout the 2020 Election year (perpetrated to make President Trump look bad). If I merely mention that, the Democrats/RINOs' knee-jerk response is "that's racist." No it's not racist to say that the Democrats/RINOs coordinated with the violent Black Lives Matter/Antifa wild thug mob rioters to perpetrate nationwide violent BLM/Antifa thug mob riots throughout the 2020 Election year. Those are just the obvious facts. I know it, RINO Dick Cheney knows it, and so do all Democrats & RINOs.
Tracy needs to move out of Madison.
Yeah, I know you get it. It was sort of rhetorical.
Jeff Prather calls it Blantifa!!!!
Not any more, obviously.
The area of this business is actually a nice area.
I’ve enjoyed my time in Madison, but it is a liberal place.
She keeps doing the same thing expecting different results.
Madistan is a complete socialist hell hole. Socialists, criminals, and victims.
No, Madistan is correct
Its the political slang term for Madison
“Madistan is a complete socialist hell hole. Socialists, criminals, and WILLING victims.”
Fixed! :)
Not everyone.
Some people stick around for family.
Some are too poor to move.
Some are tied to job and finances.
Then the children there are obviously not leaving without parents.
Ding! Ding! Ding! on your wild guess. When I graduated there in ‘79, it was already called Berkeley East (but so outclassed all others at partying that Playboy would no longer include them in their rankings).
I believe it is the cheese that they are eating in Wisconsin. Too much limburger.
