On March 7, 2025, Bernie Sanders rolled into Kenosha, Wisconsin, for his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, filling the University of Wisconsin-Parkside with roughly 3,500 supporters—some say over 4,000, with 500 turned away. He tore into billionaire influence, singling out Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg as threats to democracy. Sanders warned of Republican plans to gut $880 billion from Medicaid and $230 billion from SNAP over a decade, cuts that would hammer over a million Wisconsinites and millions more nationwide. His fix? A $17-an-hour minimum wage and Medicare for All—bold, no-compromise demands.
The rally wasn’t just a soapbox; it was a salvo in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race set for April 1, 2025. Sanders backed liberal Susan Crawford against Brad Schimel, who’s raking in over $6 million from Musk’s groups, while Crawford nets $1 million from George Soros and $500,000 from JB Pritzker. Sanders cast it as a fight for the soul of democracy.
But then came the gut punch: Laura Jane Grace, a transgender punk rocker born Thomas James Gabel, took the stage. Her song, “Your God (God’s D–k),” spat out lines like, “Does your god have a big fat d–k? Cause it feels like he’s f–king me,” mocking Christianity with crude, sacrilegious venom. And the crowd—3,500 strong—laughed and clapped. It’s infuriating, a slap to anyone who came for policy, not blasphemy. This wasn’t art; it was a middle finger to faith, a grotesque misstep that smeared Sanders’ message with radical, anti-Christian filth.
Online, the rally still hit big: Faiz Shakir’s X post of Sanders’ speech nabbed 4.5 million views, Jeremy Slevin’s over 990,000. The ideas resonated, but Grace’s stunt left a stain. What should’ve been a rallying cry for justice turned into a divisive mess, exposing Sanders’ fire—and the reckless extremism threatening to torch it.
