The pandemic is rampaging through small town Wisconsin

As COVID-19 ravages Wisconsin’s small towns, hostility toward Trump intensifies

Trempealeau, WI. — Doris Deutsch thought the coronavirus would never hit too hard in Trempealeau, a village on a rural stretch of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin.

So the 81-year-old retiree was caught off guard when she fell ill last month with COVID-19.

The pandemic is rampaging through the small towns of this battleground state just as the presidential campaign draws to a close, a sign of trouble for President Donald Trump. Deutsch is one of more than 1,000 people in her dairy-farm county who have been sickened by COVID-19, most of them since Labor Day.

A devout Catholic who displays a “Make America Kind Again!” sign on her front lawn, Deutsch had ample complaints about Trump even before the virus struck. Now, his chronic flouting of public health expertise is only heightening her determination to get him out of office.

“I don’t know if he could have stopped the whole thing, but what a difference if he had stepped up to the plate,” Deutsch, a Democrat who used to sell antique telephones, told a visitor to her small red house overlooking the river. She’s voting for Democrat Joe Biden.

The deadly intrusion of the virus into every corner of Wisconsin is dominating the campaign’s final days. Local television newscasts feature nightly updates of each county’s COVID-19 deaths and caseloads, along with stories of overwhelmed hospitals. Coverage of Trump’s packed rallies in Wisconsin and other states offer jarring reminders of his cavalier approach to the health hazards.

Despite tepid support for Biden, the visceral dislike of Trump among the president’s detractors in Wisconsin’s swing farm counties suggests they are highly motivated to vote.

“I’m not really that impressed with him,” Deutsch said of the former vice president. “I think he’s a little wishy-washy. But he’s not Trump.”

Nobody cares how many cases we hear about ok? Cases are not deaths. How many flu cases have there been with no deaths.

Beating this drum of yours is a waste of time and Jim's bandwidth. Get a fucking life, or better yet get COVID and survive it.

So jw2Judas2 just what is your point besides telling us that dump people do dumb things like voting for a democrat. biden has no clue where he at 99.9% of the time, tamala harris had to bow out of the presidental race so you want us to believe that now democrats love her when she couldn't muster enough sepport to stay in the race.

Almost a quarter million DEAD U.S. citizens from the TrumpCovid-19 Virus is not "nothing".

We can understand why youse people want to be in denial over that fact.

Not to mention that means youse people are resorting to vulgarities.

Wisconsin is a "swing" state.

Trump won Wisconsin by less than 1% in 2016, so a few thousand votes can make the difference.
