And Illinois is just glorified farm land of the plains not like California charm. Extract Chicago from the state and it probably goes conservative in majority.

Maybe Chicago, Detroit, Gary, and Benton Harbor could form a single state.

The way to fix Illinois is to dig a moat around Cook and Sangamon Counties. No one inside these bastions of Donkeydom, liberalism, and stupidity is allowed to leave unless they pay a huge toll and then they get escorted to their destination and back. All services and food and water going into these enclaves get taxed at 100 percent. No laws passed by the idiots living within these boundaries apply outside these boundaries. It will be fun to watch these idiots regulate themselves into oblivion.
