"Shut up, I don't want to hear what you have to say." That sums up today's Democratic Party in a nutshell.There's nothing quite like a 2 way discussion where 1 person just needs to shut up......that's how you solve disagreements.
This mental illness is spreading like a virus across this nation. I don't think it's merely the dumbing down of the population.
Here’s the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7GSPrl20BE
It was a fine town; I went there to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright home that’s open to the public—or was then. I grew up in Hinsdale, another beautiful Chicago suburb with wide lawns and fine minds too. Today? Who knows. Haven’t been back in decades.
That’s one crazy rude funt right there.
Oak Park also seems to be p*ss-poor in choosing elected officials.
I watched the whole brief video. All I can say is that I covered a lot of public meetings in my 25 years as a reporter, and this woman’s conduct was probably the most abusive I have witnessed.
Huge question: What were the officials discussing in the first place?
Certainly this Buchanan woman appears deranged, a particularly odious example of hateful Leftism.
But I want to know what set her off.
I suspect it may have been something we conservatives would regard as petty in the extreme. But that’s just speculation based upon what we know about the evil nature of Leftism.
Facts please. Always must have facts.
She would have gotten an earful from me.
Act like a lady, I’ll treat you like a lady. Act like a *unt, you get treated like one. And called one as well.
He should have put her in her place immediately.
Here is a little longer version of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_iN8AGDp_A
I don’t know if this helps, but it’s all I could find.

The above link is from a Chicago-area radio talk show. I have only listened to about a minute of it, but I think it might provide the background to this farce.
The President told farmers today to buy more land and bigger tractors. Hopefully a big, new tractor finds her car and house.
I read another account and they apparently were discussing oppressed people and she said she was tired of hearing two white men talking about it because they know no more about being oppressed than they know about menstruating. She even dismissed the mayor, a Palestinian immigrant who, as such, would normally be counted among the oppressed, because his “skin is light enough.”
Susan Buchanan, an Oak Park village trustee, says she has received threats to her and her family's safety following comments she made at an Oct. 7 board meeting attempting to silence white male trustees during a discussion regarding updates to the village's diversity statement.
The people of Oak Park choose this community, not just as a place to live, but as a way of life and as a place to seek shelter, refuge and acceptance. Oak Park commits itself to equity, diversity, and inclusion because these values make us a desirable and strong community for all people. Creating a mutually respectful, multicultural and equitable environment does not happen on its own; it must be intentional.
We believe in equity. By embracing equity, with an explicit but not exclusive focus on racial equity, we work to break down systems of oppression, including racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and other forms of bias and hate to achieve a society where race no longer determines one’s outcomes, where everyone has what they need to thrive. This is both a process and a goal. We reject racial barriers that limit and divide us, and we reject bias towards any group of people...…...etc

Her own father is where? Thinking what?
How sad.
Apparently this woman has no idea what real oppression is, only her version...
We have ALL felt unjustly treated. I guess your only oppressed if you meet her criteria for her definition of what oppression is.
Clearly she is ignorant, clearly she is frustrated, and most importantly she is not part of a discussion, because if she was, she could add what she thinks are relevant, or salient points to make what they were discussing more relevant, more exact. Instead, she shuts down the discussion, and becomes the very thing she hates...
The OPPRESSOR, the very definition of oppression.
Amen!
feminazism and homofascism were never about equality, they both seek supremacy.
Thanks for your very helpful response to my post, FRiend Toddster.
Since posting that link to the Chicago’s Morning Answer radio show in 9, above, I listened to the whole 15-odd minutes. It gave me plenty of background.
Having seen/heard all this, here’s my two conclusions.
1.) Why does a municipal government need a diversity statement? Is this more important than pot hole filling and trash pickup?
2.) I reiterate an earlier point: I covered many public meetings in 25 years as a newspaper reporter. I never witnessed such over-the-top unhinged behavior by an elected official.
That guy sat there like a Cuck and took it.
He should have excersised his White Male Patriarchy privilege and told her GFherself.
She seems like a perfect candidate for a Red Flag “gun check.” At 0-dark thirty in the morning.
