Well, when republican judges have made it clear they don’t support law or precedent, but rather what the president and evangelicals want… this is what happens when the actual majority finally wakes the f*** up.

GoldandBlue Apr 8, 2026 +30

Yup. Remember the autopsy? Their own research showed they lost because they were viewed as the racist old white man party, and unless they changed, the GOP would be dead in a decade. What they do? They doubled down on the racism and bigotry and here we are.

hexcraft-nikk Apr 8, 2026 +2

This feels much different. Bush failures and Iraq war lies were pretty obscures from the general public, and on the propaganda front we got "wins" with sadam and bin laden dead. The financial crisis was also positioned as a problem of greedy individuals and not the system at large. They properly squashed the Wall Street protests as well. But now? They've lost the information war for younger generations. The right wing youths being indoctrinated by the manosphere and Rogan are being completely rejected by their peers socially. They weren't able to buy up legacy media and lock up the algorithms fast enough before everyone saw Israel and Epstein. That's a Pandora's box that the Republicans can't put back in. The blue wave is likely to be stronger than most polls have shown and it's largely due to the under 30 voting block.

2

esunei Apr 8, 2026 +17

I wish I had this optimism. Because going by what's happened before, the country will completely forget the horrible nature of the Republican party in four years time and begin voting them back in during midterms. The left will be busy infighting as always. The right will play up concerns about fiscal responsibility now that the debt is higher than ever, pretending that they're the party to deliver on that despite the last several decades. I mean republicans won handily on the "Destroy America" platform. Their base isn't going anywhere, especially when after Trump they can pretend they never voted for him anyways.

17

GeorgeLichen Apr 8, 2026 +2

A bird flu will make egg prices go up for a month or two. The media will blame the democratic president and their poll numbers won't recover, leading to a republican landslide in 2032 and another national overall slip to the right. Then that republican president will decapitate a baby on live TV while nuking Portugal for some random personal reason and maaaaybe drop 5 points or so in the polls. The rules are just different for the left and right with the general public. Republicans get the *boys will be boys* treatment, democrats get the belt for a B+

sSTtssSTts Apr 8, 2026 +7

Maybe the Trump version of it but there'll still be a GOP of some form and there'll still be at least a significant minority of GOP voters for decades at a minimum. Those people aren't going to disappear just because Trump dies or gives up on the job. They'll instantly memory hole all that and then circle around the next "great leader" for tribal reasons. Look at how they handled W Bush. They memory holed him so hard he might as well not exist anymore for Repubs!! You'll see a version of that all over again after a brief period of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Also being in obvious decline doesn't mean they don't still have enough power to screw things up for the rest of us. If he goes hard on voter suppression with his brown shirt ICE army things can absolutely still go to shit. There are also still the long term structural advantages the Repubs have in the Senate to consider. They're nearly guaranteed to win control of the Senate every time due to the amount of states they control even if the amount of people in those states is a minority! On top of that there have been large population shifts over the last few years in the US and the 2030 Census is going to cause some large changes to how the Electoral Votes are distributed on a state by state basis. https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Items/Mar30-9.html tl&dr is after the population shifts are accounted for Dem's could still lose (only 260 EV's, they need 270 to win) if they win all the states they normally can get right now for presidential races.

gerrymandering influences state wide elections, albeit indirectly. lowering a voter’s general confidence that their vote matters depresses turnout, and lower turnout favors conservatives.

kswissreject Apr 8, 2026 +49

They already un gerrymandered the state legislature (even tho they could have gone farther) but ya the federal delegation there badly needs it too, was hoping for this cycle but seems like wouldn’t happen till 2028. This election doesn’t make much difference in that since they already had a majority.

Last year's state supreme court race was for a seat held by a liberal judge with liberals holding a 4-3 majority going into it. That's why last year's election was so polarizing and the financial expenditure so outrageous. This year's election was for a seat held by a conservative judge, so conservatives had no way to regain the majority. Had last year's election gone differently, this years would've like broken new election spending records.

People should remember this when bad actors trying to suppress the vote (and the people that fall for them) bring up the idea that Elon somehow magically rigged the election in 2024. Why do it then and not do it again when he had money on the line again? Republicans use all kinds of dirty tricks, but they can't straight up control the vote. That's why they try so hard to keep people from voting.

The United States is the only country where judicial elections are widespread, especially at the state and local levels. It's certainly a double-edged sword as it allows us to vote out bad judges, but also, people can keep electing bad judges too. Definitely a mixed system. However, I do not trust Republicans to appoint good judges anymore so it's actually a good thing for us at the moment.

PirateSanta_1 Apr 8, 2026 +37

Not voting for judges is how you get Supreme Court that has been majority republican since 1970. The process for appointing judges get abused by the party in power who appoint people who will back them letting them win legal cases to help them then break other systems in their favor. I get the idea of judges being nonpartisan or having independent committees but whatever system you set up is open to corruption and control. I'd rather the people get a direct say in who holds power over them.

As an American, I’ve often argued that we have way too many elected positions. I’ve voted on ballots with 18-20 different positions on it, the vast majority of which I had no idea who these people were, and I worked in local politics. It generally had good intentions, to try and take the ability to appoint these positions away from corrupt elected officials in the late 1800s/early 1900s. But I definitely think we’d be better served by moving the majority of these local positions back to appointed positions, serving a single elected city or local council.

Every state does it differently. Some use an appointment process and don't use elections at all. And to be clear, this is officially non-partisan. The judges in this Wisconsin race are not formally affiliated with political parties, but it's of course obvious which is liberal and and which is conservative.

ccoastie Apr 8, 2026 +1

Voting for judges is just strange

1

KaesekopfNW Apr 8, 2026 +7

I don't disagree. I'm not a big fan of it. I think the Missouri Plan is a good compromise, though. A nonpartisan commission picks a handful of potential judges, the governor appoints one, and the voters decide in a year if they want to keep that person (this is non-competitive - just a simple yes or no). If voters reject the judge, the process starts over, and if they accept the judge, they can serve out their full term, which is often 10+ years.

7

jerrymandias Apr 8, 2026 +4

It wasn't always that way. It's recent blowback resulting from a long series of absolute dogshit politically-motivated Supreme Court opinions in the past few decades. The Roberts Court has set this country back 70 years, and voters are now taking it upon themselves to try and rebalance the scales.

kermitsio Apr 8, 2026 +6

They don’t. All judges are technically independent. That’s why the title says “democrat-backed”. Judges, like everyone else, have biases.

6

powercow Apr 8, 2026 +2

some states do, some states it's like the federal system, where the governor appoints, with state senate approval. A lot of states think electing judges leads to them being beholden to their donors and not ruling fairly.. but then again, letting governors appoint, well you get like you do in florida with basically the entire court dominated by desantis appointees who rubber stamp everything he does. Personally i prefer them to be voted by the judiciary itself(could be judicial nominees with senate approval, still better than our system). You are more likely to get older centrists who arent bound to corporate donors, or the head of the states executive branch.

I live in California. While there are judicial candidates we choose to fill vacancies on the bench, we also vote to keep judges previously appointed by elected officials. I've voted for judges appointed by just about every California governor in the last 50 years, both Republican and Democrat. I've generally been pleasantly surprised by the quality of judges on the ballot in terms of qualifications and competency, and the overwhelming majority with no partisan affiliation at all. I generally vote against judicial candidates with previous party affiliation, regardless of the party. One of the most damaging things happening in American politics is the massive influx of partisan judges, most of them Republican appointments, flooding the judiciary. I can't speak for other states, but in California I have not seen that happening.

This shouldn't be the case, but welcome to the current state of the judicial system. Doesn't matter if you're good at your job, just what side of the aisle you sit on. My dad is intimately familiar with our local judicial system because of the line of work he used to be in. When primary races for the county prosecutor came up, he urged me and others to get out and vote because there was exactly one good candidate in the primaries between both sides. I did go out and vote and encouraged my friends to as well, but the guy still lost. Come election day and my dad (who isn't a registered Democrat but generally votes liberal and hates the GOP) said that between the two options, the Republican was probably better, but that both candidates were lousy choices. Neither of them had any experience as a prosecutor, and the guy who was passed up in the primaries was extremely experienced.

I thought that a dem was retiring, so isn’t the majority still 4-3?

No, this is for the seat being vacated by Rebecca Bradley, a h******* conservative justice who initially announced she would seek re-election in April of last year, but reversed that in August of 2025. New majority is 5-2 following this election once Chris Taylor is sworn in.

It is so beautiful watching the Wisconsin GOP shrivel up and surrender to such a degree. There’s a very real chance in 2027 that the state is going to go from a 4-3 conservative majority that ruled the state like it was Florida to a 6-1 liberal majority in just a few years.

20 point victory. Woof. Here's hoping this (along with the other recent elections) is a sign of things to come across the country.

You should have seen the BS they were pulling at polling places. What street do you live on? What street? It's on my driver's license I just handed you, beneath my name that the three of you asked me three times. Also you both over here asked me how to spell it like I'm not me and I'm gonna screw up my name.

They're required to ask, because the address on the drivers license isn't always accurate.
