The term in office of Lori Lightfoot, defeated with an ignominious third place finish in the primary in large part because of public disgust over crime, may soon be regarded as the good old days.
Not quite one-third of registered voters (33.2%) bothered to vote in Tuesday’s election for the next mayor of Chicago, and the non-voting two thirds may soon regret their electoral passivity. Brandon Johnson, a far-left radical, has won the race with a 2.8% margin at the latest count, and thanks to his anti-police stance, the crime wave driving businesses and residents out of the city will only get worse.

Andy Ngo highlights Mayor-elect Johnson’s anti-police rhetoric: [Tweet:]
Leftist @Brandon4Chicago has won the Chicago mayoral election against moderate Democrat Paul Vallas. Johnson calls for removing law enforcement from society. During the 2020 riots, he defended looters, saying they were lashing out against racism. Chicago’s violent crime has…

I usually just have to shake my head at what the left does.
Wow, they threw our Lori Lightfoot to bring in Lori Lightfoot on Steroids. Amazing!!
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Haven’t been in Chicago (besides layovers) in 30 years, for good reason.
All I can say is that Chicago voters must be just plain racist. Since we’re leaving our borders wide open for any foreigners to come in and vote, and since Chicago has so much power over the rest of the state, why not let Chicago/Cook Cty elections be statewide.
People wonder how anyone could vote against Trump and for Biden. We have people like this in our country. A lot of them.
LOL.
Out of the frying pan, into the raging fire caused by Mrs O’Leary’s cow.
Burn, baby, burn.
When good people give up and move out, these cities are increasingly left to the asylum inmates.
ROFLOL.
Watch the working people flee and the degradation begin. Now the average joe has to know it’s hopeless.
Demographics is destiny. Chicongo is America’s destiny.

Apparently when they were upset with Betelgeuse over crime, they were angry that there wasn’t more of it.
They are lost apparently. What a shithole City.
I’m the exact same way. Last time I went my car was towed (took my family there for “vacation” what a joke that turned out to be) and I had to pay like 300 to get it back. It was an organized city racket. When I got a taxi to take me to retrieve the car it was yuuuge! People were moving through cattle like ropes in a line “kachong kaChong kachong” money noises, hundreds of cars were impounded..maybe more!
There was no sign saying I could not park so I demanded a traffic cop show me and there was ONE sign suspiciously placed behind a tree …what a scam.
I won’t and haven’t go back in this life.
They dropped the sh&tty end of the stick and picked up the pile of sh*t itself.
I’m beginning to wonder if I live in too much of an echo chamber. I am constantly surprised by the kind of people who are elected in this country. Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe there really are lots and lots of people who want this kind of government. I mean, look at the Wisconsin supreme court race yesterday. The movie Idiocracy is looking more and more like a documentary. How far, really, is Kamala from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?
ohhhh
lightfoot wasnt radical enough
i wonder if the 2/3s who didnt vote were too busy packing
Actually a secession of most of Illinois from Shitcago, Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, eastern Washington and Oregon from Portland and Seattle would do wonders for those states.
And he will blame racism for the lack of jobs in Shitcago.
This makes me happy. These folks deserve every miserably inept public figure they get. This city is a toilet and this guy is a giant POS. Good luck.
