No One Likes Mayor Brandon Johnson Much Anymore. ( Chicago )
Independent Sentinel ^ | November 16, 2023 | M Dowling

Posted on 11/17/2023 10:17:36 AM PST by george76

Chicago residents don’t like the policies they voted for when they voted Brandon Johnson into office. He has lost 72% of the residents.

The Illinois Policy Institute puts Johnson on the same level as bottom crawlers former Mayors Lori Lightfoot and Rahm Emmanuel, who polled at 27%. He’s at 28% and going for the gold..

The poll found that his approval was lowest on crime and safety, with two of three voters polled disapproving. Voters disapproved of his handling of housing, homelessness, and migrants.

Under bad leadership, crime has gone up in Chicago. Chicago crime declined from 2018 to 2020, with a slight increase in 2021, followed by a spike in 2022. Theft is driving the overall increase in crime. Car theft is up 114% since 2018, and other thefts increased by 32% since 2018.

It won’t get better with the same bad policies on speed.

...

His handling of the migrant crisis has everyone upset.

...

The city of Chicago spent more than $100 million to provide help and services to the thousands of migrants who have arrived in Chicago from south of the U.S. border since last August, mostly on personnel costs, officials said Wednesday.

Black residents are unhappy that the migrants will dilute their vote, and they will.

....

Education opens the door to opportunities, but in Chicago, Democrats and the teachers union have slammed that door shut.”

For example, Tracy points to Clark Academy High School, a magnet school in Johnson’s neighborhood where not a single child has been taught to read at grade level but where 94% graduate.

In Chicago Public Schools as a whole, just 20% of students can read at grade level, and 16% can do math at grade level. Johnson is a toady of the Chicago Teacher’s Union, but his plan for education won’t work.

HE BLAMES CARE FOR CARJACKINGS..

He’s illogical. In August, Johnson blamed the increase in carjacking on auto manufacturers. He said he’d seek legal action against carmakers KIA and Hyundai for “failing” to prevent thefts.

That’s so crazy. It’s what Democrats do with gun makers. They want them to be responsible for anything that goes wrong with one of their guns.

Democratic Alderman Raymond Lopez told Fox News that the move was a “play from a socialist playbook,” adding, “Clearly, we don’t have a crime problem. We have a Kia problem in the city of Chicago, according to Mayor Johnson.”

This is who is leading Chicago, and people wonder why Chicago is failing.

Well, tough turkeys, Chicago. Try again (and fail!) the next primaries.

Two duds in a row. There were better (or less bad) choices the past two elections. Chicago chose poorly.

100 years of democrat “leadership” and look where it’s gotten them. Democrat after democrat screws it up worse than the last guy. But, don’t you worry! Chicago will elect another democrat in three years to dig the hole even deeper. Because if something (electing democrats) isn’t working then obviously doing the same thing will make it all better.

Vote stupid, win stupid prizes. Kind of like the contestants who traded away money for a zonk prize on Let’s Make A Deal.

Well the idiots replaced Bettlejuice with someone even worse because he was black, his rat opponent was white but not a committed Marxist and the wrong color.

They dumped a lesbo mayor for a communist mayor. Who knew? I did. I knew this was going to happen in Chicago and all leftist run sanctuary cities. The only solution is to NOT vote Democrat. What will these idiots do? Vote D.

Couldn’t help but actually laugh. If tomorrow, they run a conservative Republican who promises to crack down on crime, and another black liberal jackass hack Democrat, the hack will win handily.

Normally, I’d could really care less what happens to Chicago.

But being a resident of the Twin Cities for a very long time now, I have witnessed Chicago’s extended path to destruction.

Many of their worst have moved up into the Minneapolis-St Paul area. Crime levels that were unimaginable 30 years ago are now accepted as part of the patina of living in a urban/suburban setting.

If Chicago can be classified as the primary source of cancer, the metastasization (sp?) has spread to the Twin Cities. And trust me, we are all the worse for it.

The only reason brandon got elected was he sounded the anti-white dog whistles
