“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.

Breaking News, Democrats invoke new term for perverts.

transgender kids

Reminds me of Goober Grahamnesty when he referred to the "dreamers" as kids.

Fat boy trying out some nuanced rhetoric for the perverts.

Kids has an innocent connotation but transgender doesn't.

This guy is Flounder going through life fat, drunk, and stupid but with a silver foot in his mouth to recycle a Ann Richard quote.

Newscum is way smarter, it is clear that he is looking to finesse the tranny albatross around the Democrat Party neck.

Not sure if it can be done, but Prickster is too stupid to even understand it needs to be addressed.

Democrats can’t know a moment of patriotism.

Pritzker, you're going to be one of the leftist radicals who facilitates the start of another civil war here. Do you think we're just going to stand by and let you and your followers ruin our lives with YOUR desired outcomes when the majority of the people DEMOCRATICALLY VOTED for the opposite of what you want?

I am NOT just sitting here spouting words. I mean everything I say and write. We as a people HAVE to stand up to these despots. Try to imagine what they are going to do to those with whom they disagree should his type come to power. With this type of talk and incitement we ARE going to have a civil war.

How can these commies call for violence and not be arrested?

I have been wondering that for years. Why haven't Schumer, Maxine and Pelosi been arrested for inciting violence? Well?

“Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,”. Well gee whiz. Gives me peace of mind just knowing how filled with phony sincerity, ever growing hypocrisy, just plain stupidity, and an ever receding constituency they have managed. The loonier they get, the better I feel. Gives me something to laugh about.

Which hotel chain does Fatty Fatty Pritzker own, so I can avoid staying there?

That would be Hyatt Hotels.
