I went to the Trump rally in Racine (the one before he was almost killed). I recommend you learn from real people.
I met Wisconsin State Rep. William Penterman and his sequined mother. He was all smiles. Preachy stupid dumbfuck in FBI sunglasses. He’s creating Wisconsin law. The kind of guy who wants you to believe he’s thoughtful. Measured. Reasonable.
He’s not.
He’s really dumb.
And worse—he used to be a “special needs” teacher.
That makes it personal. Because teachers are supposed to stand for truth. For growth. For the hard, uncomfortable work of helping people think. Penterman doesn’t stand for any of that. He stands for Trump.
He stands for a man who calls Milwaukee “horrible,” then tries to pretend he didn’t. A man who mocks the disabled, incites violence, and spreads lies like fertilizer across my homeland. Penterman knows this. He knows exactly who Trump is. And he smiled anyway. He stood there, complicit and comfortable, while the crowd laughed and jeered and chanted their hate.
And then a man near me screamed—loud enough for a 10-year-old girl near him to hear—
“Even Jill doesn’t want to fuck him!”
No one flinched.
No one corrected him.
Least of all Rep. William Penterman.
That’s the truth of who these people are.
They’ll cry about children when it fits their narrative, then laugh when filth is shouted in front of them.
They’ll talk about integrity while worshipping a convicted criminal.
They’ll tell you they’re “reasonable Republicans” or “concerned citizens” while they hold up signs begging for more cruelty.
Penterman used to be a teacher. He chose instead to become a fraud.
To teach by example what it means to fold.
To show a generation that when it’s hard to stand for truth, it’s easier to smile and lie.
So no, I won’t be quiet about Racine or anything else stupid. I won’t pretend this is fine.
This was not a rally. It was an idiot parade.
And Penterman stood right there with the rest of them—smiling, lying, and failing the future he once pretended to care about.
