A black person should not be elected to any district in the third blackest state in the union—that’s what Norman claims here. The bias isn’t just against minorities but cities. Our book White Rural Rage has quotes from WI republicans who basically say Dane/Milwaukee county voters shouldn’t count.

Living under Donald Trump is like living with an abusive husband whose first move is to isolate you from everyone who loves you. Cut off the support system, poison the relationships, make sure there’s nobody left to run to. Then he can do whatever he wants. That’s exactly what he’s done to America.
