I would say that most are liberals departing for warmer, weather, lower taxes and jobs in places like Tennessee, Georgia, Texas. Intent on destroying those places as well.
Illinois and California don’t care how many taxpayers leave their state.
They get their money the old fashioned way…..
From the federal government.
The best thing non Leftists in Illinois can do is leave. Do not let those Corruptocrats steal your money in confiscatory taxes to give to their labor union buddies. Do not wait until your real estate value goes into the tank. If you have a business, move it out of there and get to a red state ASAP.
Apportion representation to area gdp and break it down by zip codes.
Good article...
Good luck. A once solid red state is now heartland crime central a.k.a. another democrat sh*thole
Bkmk
The bigger problem yet is the people that leave the state and continue to vote democrat.
In summary, poor, greedy people will collapse even the strongest economy built by white people.
Oh come on.! Since when does the state of Illinois gives a rats rear end about a functioning republic.?
It's a DEMOCRACY dude.! And all those "illegal aliens" are just what you need to keep your democracy hell hole up and running according to plan..
Now if it's a "functioning republic" your trying to achieve, that is to say, a government based on the rule of law, you better do an about face and start acting like civilized human beings..
Republicans over all, not MAGA ones or conservatives, are no better than the RINO’S they piss and moan about.
No fight. Just give up and don’t even bother to vote.
That’s the ticket. That’ll show them.
Except that all it shows the democrats is what wusses Republicans can be and encourages the very unethical campaign and election fraud we’d been losing to.
The Democrats are celebrating their dominance in Illinois. In order to maintain their power, the Democrats engaged in gerrymandering of election districts, made permanent the lax pandemic inspired voting procedures, and incumbent governor J. B. Pritzker spent a record $132 million dollars on his campaign. His opponent was outspent by more than 5-1. Even with all of this, the Democrats needed Biden, Harris, and Obama to campaign in the “blue state” to seal the deal.
As an Illinois resident, this piece was right on. I’ve often told people that IL and CA are racing to see who goes belly-up first. And the Dems don’t care.
My wife and I would’ve been out of here, but grandkids are keeping us from moving...for now. Once Jelly Belly announces a wealth tax or other far out tax plans, then maybe we’ll be more motivated.
A major part of the problem : ‘...either illegal immigrants or illegal aliens ...”
SAME, SAME dummie !
I’m so glad I escaped the land of high taxes, corruption and ridiculous mandates (IL) last year.
The ILGOPe won’t lift a finger to help any candidate who is actually conservative. They’d rather lose and they’re getting pretty good at it.
I’m in Illinois.
I’m a MAGA Republican.
I voted on Election Day.
Straight Republican.
I’m ready to move to Wisconsin. They have their liberal stronghold in Madison, but I feel that at least we’ll have a voice there.
I’m tired of the GOP, the Gang Of P*SSIES Party who get in front of a camera and complain about the democrats, but get face time on tv and collect a paycheck from the state, and DON’T SEEM TO CARE.
I have my CCL, and won’t leave home without it.
The only thing keeping me here is family.
I agree with almost all your points, but, I’ll add another observation: I was watching an IL TV station’s “Local News” in a rather red region of downstate IL the night B4 the election. They aired as part of the “news” just under 5 minutes total of Democrat candidates making their pitches. This included Biden at a rally (not in IL but I don’t recall where, PA maybe?) Add in a couple minutes of “reports” on the legal attacks on DJT.
By contrast, the Republican side got maybe 15 seconds of President Trump at a rally. That was it.
This does not even include the constant reports of all the great things the Dems are doing for us (/s) as they (not reported) suck the sustenance out of us, ruin the society, and drive out most of the people with $$.*
Pardon my French, but, how the “H” do Republicans / conservatives compete with this? And how do we make a run at getting it corrected?
*Several of my successful friends from the Chicago suburban area are leaving for states like TN and AR as soon as they can conclude family matters (usually care of a parent) and / or sell their businesses. (These friends are all moderately to very conservative.)
BTW, if you have a ping list, please add me to it.
Thanks.
