Blue state? Yes due to vote fraud and corruption. The Demscum aren’t even bothering to hide it. Reminds me of the Daley machine but state wide.
I now doubt Illinois is actually now a blue state in terms of voters.
—”Reminds me of the Daley machine but state wide”
If only that were so.
My mother was born and raised in Portage Park, Chicago and I remember the senior Daley well as a resident.
My parents settled into suburban Glenview, but for many years, Portage Park was also nice, now on a downhill slide.
We moved deep into Rock Ribbed DuPage county, now being overrun by those running from Chicago.
Daley had a well-oiled machine that produced services for its supporters, who in turn voted for the machine.
Today not much, if any machine, but a top-down system cramming down leftwing ideology and not much in services to voters. AND TAXES HAVE GONE TO THE MOON AND BEYOND.
Under the machine, the coppers were 95%+ dem voters and it was a symbiotic relationship. WIN_WIN.
Today have a look at SECOND CITY COP, a Chicago police blog.
It is open to the public, and you are welcome to post replies if you like.
Coming from Freerepublic, you will be very comfortable there. Yes, much is “inside baseball” stuff.

Years ago my wife said let’s move near the Rocky Mountains, our main pass time was rock and ice climbing.
I remember saying that I had an exceptional position at work and could never match it.
Today our children and grandchildren, like us are stuck in Illinois.
