When Charlie announced his move, I specifically emailed him to tell him that I'd appreciated the Wisconsin reporting and that it was one of the things I was going to miss most about his newsletters. It's great news that they're finally getting clubbed into breaking their stranglehold, and while it's disgusting that they're only sourly conceding to the prospect of sharing power in a democratic governance, it's also ammunition for the upcoming elections.
A lot of Republican politicking has been built around the concept that they alone have the true righteousness and that any sort of power share is to be opposed, which justifies any tactics they use. And the only cure for that is to thump them hard enough that they see a point in coming back to the table to actually work with us.
It's interesting how so many politicians who are against academic tenure are so in favor of what essentially equates to legislative tenure and its job permanence for themselves if they so desire. Also known as: do as I say and not as I do.
Thank you for this!

Great analogy!
