"In a series of non-binding resolutions, the Republican delegates advocated for, among other causes, enforcing the state’s 174-year-old abortion ban, stomping out early voting, building a border wall, ending vaccine mandates, curbing the authority of public health officials, arming school teachers with guns and abolishing the Wisconsin E…

While it should be astounding, or at least it would have been ten years ago, is just how out of touch with the average American these MAGA legislators are. The tent in the Psychiatric Facility Escapee Caucus contains one of the most "effective" echo chambers see in modern American politics.
Further. while I know that MAGA cultists have a problem with expertise - at least within the sciences - ridding the country of advise from the professionals within the healthcare field would do nothing more than increase the mortality rate. Of course, if you want to believe that Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin are cure-alls for Covid or that childhood vaccines are a direct cause of Autism, that is your right, just don't try to force your disinformation down the rest of our throats.
The arming of teachers and the elimination of an elections commission is just too absurd to even contemplate.

According to a Pew Research poll 61% of Americans are in favor of abortion (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/06/13/about-six-in-ten-americans-say-abortion-should-be-legal-in-all-or-most-cases-2/).
According to a Marist poll conducted in April of this year, 61% (again) agree that abortion should be legal, with some restrictions (https://www.npr.org/2023/04/26/1171863775/poll-americans-want-abortion-restrictions-but-not-as-far-as-red-states-are-going).
We've already been witness to attempts to build a border wall, another MAGA proposal that flies in the face of the desires of the general public.
The ability to cast one's ballot early is paramount to the working poor and those below the poverty line who probably cannot get time off in order to vote. In 2022 a Gallop shows 78% in favor of early voting (https://news.gallup.com/poll/403052/eight-americans-favor-early-voting-photo-laws.aspx).
