Most of their tourism us domestically sourced? I mean, I could see a lot of (embarrassed) Americans staying home to visit the national parks before they are privatized for the enjoyment of the oligarchs.

Depending on whose definition of "tourism" really, but yeah. It's about a 85/15 split by the looks of it.

Though, I guess travelling within the US to protest is technically tourism, so maybe they'll be okay.

and just to add to this - WI has been one of the most heavily gerrymandered states in America for a while.

their most recent SC election flipped the balance of power to the Dems. the WISC then declared the previous electoral map unconstitutional. I believe they implemented a new, fair map for the most recent elections. but barely, the WI state congress attempted a lot of fuckery.

if the Dem wins, then those fair maps are likely to remain. if the R wins, then back to gerrymandered nonsense we go.

although, it only matters of course if America continues having free and fair elections.
