Pretty sure the future's brighter than that. Waukesha's one of 154 (5%) of counties where Trump 2020 failed to match Romney's vote total. It's one of four Romney counties with 100k+ votes in that group, along with Cobb, GA; Johnson, KS; and Oklahoma, OK. Good company to have.

You might be right, I'm open to a lot of different possibilities and Waukesha's weird asymmetry makes me wonder if maybe we don't see the movement based on the surface level point that comparing 2012 to 2020 the state votes more than 6 point to the right while moving almost 14 points left one would expect.
Looking at the numbers, a plausible reading of them would be that a bunch of Romney voters decided to go 3rd party in 2016 and then those same people went to Biden in 2020.
