I probably should have paid the money.
Considering you seem to be using different numbers in each post on this thread, I don't think you'd know how much you spend yourself. Maybe it's because you're talking about pounds all the time rather than the currency we use every day here. -

Dem-backed Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, cementing liberal majority
Oh yes I do. Your argument rests on the claim that there is a reduced voter turnout and as a result, the Republican candidates lose. Your argument ignores the fact that NOTHING is stopping motivated Republicans from voting, nothing except their dislike of the state of the nation and the candidate. If Republicans were motivated by the cause and candidate they would have run to the polls. Your argument also requires that the results from the past 4 court elections be ignored since they support a different conclusion. Wisconsin's population has stagnated over the past decade. The population growth between 2010 and 2022 was only 3.5%. Its total population is approx. 5.9 million. The tentative voter turnout for the 2025 election indicates (using the unofficial total vote @99% of districts reporting) is 2,364,372. That's a significant increase in voter turnout from 2023 1,840,213. The total 2023 votes cast were higher than those cast in 2020 at 1,549,697 votes If you look at the. eelction results for the past 3 elections, voter turnout was been steadily increasing over the past 3 elections. Additionally, the last time a Republican won the election in 2019, voter turnout was low with only 1,207,569 votes cast. In the past 3 elections where a Democrat won, the results were approx. 55%D-45%R. The election where the Republican won was neck and neck with the Republican winning by only 6,000 votes. Contrary to what you conclude, for state supreme court elections when the voter turnout is high, a Democrat is more likely to win. That's the trend since 2019. It's about trends in voting preferences. In 2020, with a 66.6% turnout, voters overwhelmingly picked Joe Biden. It was the highest voter turnout by percentage since 1900. Biden received more than 81 million votes, the most votes ever cast for a presidential candidate in U.S. history Biden 81,283,501 - Trump 74,223,975. Trump lost the election. The 2024 election turnout dropped to 63.9%. Trump obtained 77,302,580 compared to Harris' 75,017,613. Biden's result from 2020 was much better. The takeaway there is that while Harris did better than Trump did in 2020, she lost because the Democrats did not come out to vote. Trump won the election. And now voter trends are shifting back to where they have been historically. People voted for change in 2020 whether it was understood or not. Not that they see the economic catastrophe unfolding they are starting to revert to their former voting preferences. It is why the margins in the Florida special elections in solid safe Republican districts were cut in half. Carville the political strategist is being proven right in his prediction of the Republican collapse. If Trump doesn't blink again with his tariffs, the markets are going to send him a message the morning after his Rose garden spectacle, and then the voters will do it in November's governor elections in VA and NJ. -

Third Reich is upon you!
But surely you can see this as a beginning of a "trend". In 1933 there was nobody willing/able to stop the "trend". Quite the opposite. Most Germans hopped on the bandwagon. In the political/financial world, a trend can last for a long time. Feeding on itself, propelled by short-term benefits for "the masses" at first. The next few years will show if the US electorate can resist a few self appointed Gurus/Messiasses also known as "pied pipers".
