Apparently, #Wississippi is a portmanteau of Mississippi and Wisconsin, meant to imply that Wisconsin is becoming more like Mississippi in governance.

UW was once a fine school and where Terry got his doctorate. We lived in Madison forfive years.
The Dictionary of American Regional English is based at the University of Wisconsin. DARE has funding through summer 2016 but can use more donations.

Wisconsin and Mississippi, I realize, are both along the ninetieth latitude. In some ways the two states are almost opposite each other, geographically and culturally.
