“Republicans Cannot Know a Moment of Peace”: Illinois Gov
Front Page Magazine ^ | 28 Apr, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 04/28/2025 5:54:24 AM PDT by MtnClimber

"Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption."

The 2028 Dem hopefuls can roughly be divided into moderates trying to reckon with what happened in 2024 and urging the party to pull back from the craziness… and the crazies who insist that they did nothing wrong and want to double down on it.

Many of the born-again moderates like Gov. Gavin Newsom are really crazies when it comes to actual policy. Pretending to be reckoning with the fallout is a political tactic. And so is going all in on militancy like Sen. Cory Booker and now Gov. J.B. Pritzker. They know what’s going to get more applause from their party and it’s not going on a podcast with Charlie Kirk. In that regard, Pritzker has now outdone every other Dem hopeful by delivering a New Hampshire speech with no ideas, just a call for war. It’s an overwritten and badly delivered speech, but the applause makes it obvious that this is the talk that the Dems want to hear from their leaders.

“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now, these Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” Pritzker recited.

Because there haven’t been enough riots yet.

The obvious question is what does fat boy intend to do about it? Besides write more checks. Still Dems love the message that they did nothing wrong and that they need to fight twice as hard. And shove men twice as hard into the ladies room.

Back in his speech, Pritzker said Democrats should blame their losses in November on a “lack of guts and gumption,” not on the party’s defense of black people, transgender kids and immigrants.

“Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values,” he said.

This is a fantasy, but it’s a seductive fantasy. Double down on freeing criminals, open borders and ending women’s sports. Then denounce the opposition as enemies of the state. It worked for Biden. Bound to work for an ordinary morbidly obese working-class billionaire. But it’s clearly what Democrats want.

Sounds like a call for insurrection to me.

Contrast with “peacefully and patriotically”.

That is why we must play offense not defense.

That means indicting Democrat governors for aiding and abetting illegal immigration.

Let them “fight” to stay out of prison.

Mr.Pritzker, that’s what elections are for. In the meantime, let the constitution do its job. Eat yer peas.

This kind of talk has already lead to deadly consequences at a high school track meet and the back of an ambulance. Just to name a few.
