Set the rules on fire: White supremacy and Republican control in Wisconsin.

Journalist Emma Roller examines the convergence of White supremacy and Republican party control in pre-election Wisconsin, and explains how the two combine to form a politics of antidemocratic control over a working class gutted by union-busting, racism and voter suppression.
