Congrats! You’re still too far north!
Roll Tide.
When we would visit our son stationed at Fort Campbell he would take us to places in southern Illinois like Garden of the Gods and the Land between the Lakes park. Really beautiful country with good people down there.
LOL! A friend of mine (now deceased) claimed that anyone born north of I-20 was a damned yankee!
I live in Western PA and we have a demonRAT gubbernor, one and a half conservative Senators, 5-2 demonRAT Supreme court judges, the right to open carry without a permit and concealed with a permit.
Our local property taxes are way too high but where I live is very safe {and close to my hunting grounds}.
We had planned to move to FL, but Mrs. Alaska changed my mind and life is too short to get into an unwinnable argument.
Shapiro is a demonRAT and by definition cannot be trusted, but he is better than most of the demonRAT gubbernors.
Everyone I know who could move out of state has. Those with money are gone. They may still have a house or apartment behind. But they vote somewhere else. They pay taxes somewhere else. And they socialize somewhere else. We live in Wisconsin. When we go back to our Illinois home, we buy gas and groceries just before the border so we don’t pay Illinois taxes. Not just because they are higher taxes, but because we don’t want to support Illinois. Illinois has all the murders because they have all the gangs. Its a drug trafficking hub for the country.
When ICE risks going into a Chicago neighborhood to find one guy and pull him out of his home or his job, its because he is really really bad. And those antifa types who try to stop them understand that he is a important gang member. They know he is bad and yet they still support the gang thug over ICE. Because Illinois is a crime ridden state.
