“IL was slowly taken over by Chicago. “Down State” has no power left at all. Chicago thugs run the place.”
Illinois has become the “New York State of the Great Lakes”. That is to say, the entire politics [and condition] of the state is controlled by one disproportionally large urban area.
That said, there can be no future for conservatives or conservatism in Illinois. The only options are to put up with things there - knowing that they will never change - or to move out. That’s it.

Based on the last election it appears Chicago thugs have taken over the country.
